Worked out on the elliptical machine for 50min between level 10 and 16 after a 5min warmup.  Mostly stayed at 12.  I was sweating quite a bit.  With this heat I may have to start using the elliptical more because I really dislike treadmills.  I also don't have any races scheduled until August, so perfect time to donate some blood and switch up my cardio workouts.

Did a track workout.  Jogged 1.5mi to the track, did 800m straights and turns, 8x400 between 1:42 and 1:47. Jogged 0.5mi barefoot on the grass around the track, ran back home 1.5mi.  Temp was around 96deg.  I felt pretty dehydrated even after drinking water all day.

Ran on a single track mountain bike trail, L H Thompson.  This was a pretty tough trail, it would be even harder to mountain bike, but it was fun.  I will definitely run the trail more often since its close to my work.

This was just another monthly base 5k, but it was nice to have it early in the day.  I was 1st female by a long shot.  Great for speed work since the races are free and I get workout time to run the race, so technically I get paid to run.  Awesome!

Donated some blood later in the day, so I'll take the next couple of days off from working out.
