4am run in Chicago.  It's terrifically hard to enjoy a run at this time of the day.

Split up the run today since I was in midday Houston.  So freaking hot and humid an hour run was crazy.

 8 morning, 8 afternoon

Hot day in Omaha.  I had the privilege of sitting through court in Nebraska today.  A tow truck company ran their truck through my motorhome in Omaha on the 4th and I had to take them to court to get them to pay.  I am beyond tired of dishonest people and courtrooms this year.  How anyone works as an attorney among these people is amazing.

 

I did get in two runs along the river starting at the Lewis and Clark Landing though.  Pretty wasted from yesterday.

Nice early start today.  Very sluggish and working it on this run.  I'm fairly certain that I'm in the worst shape I've been in for four years.  Time to get crackin.

 

10X1mile, 2 warm up, 5:50 pace.

Fast run up to Mt Logan Peak from my house.  5,300 feet elevation gain and light rain the whole way.  Probably the fastest I've ever ran this trail.  Tons of wild raspberries from the 6,000 foot line up.  Third run in training for R2R and finished week two of marathon training.
