6:30AM, 66F, 75% humidity. Weather has been good to us here in the south east. My speed has improved a bit and it was also the cut back week that helped. I did 8:02 on average where the second half was under 8:00.

My left foot really hurts. I'm not familiar with the English terms for the different body parts and muscles. The upper part of the foot close to where it connects with he leg hurts. I had something similar with a previous Brooks shoe. I think it's an issue with how they tie. It hurts more on the down slopes and on flat surface and much less on up hills. It was the first time I enjoyed the up hills :-) Icing it helps some.

My wife and I watched the Olympics on NBClast. I ended up going to bed close to midnight but Wow! what an amazing 4X100m relay swim! What a drama. The victory over the French was so sweat. The determination of these swimmers is really inspirational.
