| Night run. A little later than usual. There were a ton of people out. I guess all trying to beat the heat. I did take the loops a little harder.

| Exact same run as last night but very sluggish. Saw two deer. Both rather tame allowing me to pass by very close. Did first loop with Josh then solo.

| Later evening run, long days. Aug/Sep are going to be brutal work wise so we will see... Saw three deer in the first half mile and then just tried to breath this horribly humid air. At >95% humidity even after 9PM, the "ReelFeel" temp was >90... Did the usual loops but added on a nice big climb at the start.

| Left the house just before 5AM and there was no reprieve in the weather. Saw 5 deer in the first half mile then met up with Josh for one loop and did a second on my own.

| Slept in and then had to work most of the day... Did finish the day at the theater with the family. Saw Tomorrowland, I thought it was pretty good. Desided I still wanted to meet my mileage goal for the week so did a neighborhood adventure run. Went in and out of most of the deadends. Managed to get 14 miles and didn't even cover the whole neighborhood. Saw parts I haven't seen in the two years living here... Did see three deer on top of it.
