10 miles

I ran 10 miles (2.4 liters of water, 3 endurolytes) . It was 89 degrees and sunny at the end of the run. The run went better than I would have guessed given the heat warnings out for today. It wasn't a great run in an absolute sense but good for a hot summer run.

Up next: Friday around 10 (depends on the weather)

5 mile Starbuck run

I did the Starbucks run this morning. It was sunny with 83 degrees and 81% humidity by the end of the run. If it was this hot and sunny year-round I doubt I would be a runner. This summer is just about being in good enough shape to really run in the fall.

9.7 Miles: the meltdown

Today I went 9.7 miles, not enough sleep, too much heat, way too much Sun, and southern humidity do not mix well. Glad I went out. I didn't feel bad and had some fun but the pace was not great.

8 Miles

Today I ran 8 miles (about 1 liter of water). The goal of doing a really long run didn't happen. I'm much busier work-wise than I've been in a long time (which is good for the bank). It was overcast but humid.

up next: Saturday a mid-distance run and Sunday the 5 mile run.

7 treadmill miles

I did 7 miles on the treadmill today. Treadmill running is not my favorite thing but it seemed like a better choice today given the weather and traffic. Friday I'm running outside and hopefully a longer run.

5 mile Mushroom run

I did the 5 mile starbuck run again today. It was 88 degrees at the end of the run. The most interesting thing were the mushrooms that popped up over night.

5 mile starbuck run

I strongly dislike the southern summer. It was 85 and sunny on my first run back. I guess the break was good. I couldn't even remember if it was my left or right ankle/heel that hurt. All pains were gone and the run was not much of a problem other than the stinking no good heat.
