Have no idea of what distance I did today, but I climbed up and down 3 flights of stairs at our apartment for about 3 hours today.  Our vehicle is backed and ready to go.  We travel to Conakry tomorrow!  Should arrive by Wednesday and be back on line then.

My last run, maybe forever, in Bamako.  It was good to have a day off running yesterday as today I had a lot more energy.  Temperature wasn't so bad, just so humid and you sweat a lot.  It was 79 degrees with 84% humidity.

Splits:  10:54, 10:30, 10:32, 10:24, 10:51, 10:17, 10:45, 10:20, 11:31, 10:30, 10:48, 10:26, 10:32.

AP: 10:39

Next 2 days I'll have some mental running workouts in the car as we travel.  Back to physical running on Thursday....au revoir Bamako!

made it safely to Conakry.  Very, very humid here.  We're located 10 degrees north of the equator.  Known as the wettest capital in the world.  For this  5 mile run I actually lost 3.5 pounds of water.  Need to be drinking a lot more water here.

Feeling quite tired.  Guess I'm recovering from the long road trip and it's also so very humid here.  I can really tell the difference when run.  Feeling like I'm running into a head wind when there's no wind at all.  I'm hoping to put in a long run tomorrow.  Would rather get my last long run in now rather than later.  We shall see.

WOOHOO!  I did it!  My goal today was to go the distance and I met that goal.  Wasn't sure what to expect.  I started out around 6:30am and finished 6:18 minutes later. AP was 13:02

It was quite hot and humid the last 2 hours, but I just took my time, drank a lot and kept my body fueled.  No hitting the wall, no legs cramping.  I'm encouraged.

I will now focus on some speed and marathon pace.
