| Well this was a working weekend. Did still do church and a little family time but mostly trying to keep from getting too far behind. Saw a deer but the humidity made running extra difficult.

| Not the smartest but wanted some mileage. Long day at work so later night run. Then because scheduled didn't match up ran 6 miles on own, then 3 miles with one friend, and then 3 miles with another, finished home...

| Well it felt nicer than last weekend because it was a little overcast but it was still pretty brutal.
Did a similar run to the one last week but put more hills in the middle instead of at the beginning.
Overall a good run and it felt good and finished relatively strong, much better than last weekend...
