AM: (11 miles, 1:35:45). 28:45wu/28:25cd + 15 x 200m w/200 recovery (fastest was 48, slowest was 50).
When I got up at 5 it was 80F, but blissfully overcast ... well, partly cloudy (which is really rare). I did not want to waste the opportunity so I decided to try to do the easiest of the scheduled workouts for the week. Unfortunately, by the time I got about a mile into it the sun came out -- sigh. It was 93F and sunny by the long 3 mile uphill trudge home. Good thing was I did not cough once during the workout ... although I spent about 10 mins coughing up a lung when I got home. I am not too worried though, I am pretty sure the worst part of this crud is over, and by taking it easy I did not miss too much running!! Yesterday was 109F and it is going to be at least that hot again today ... I am going to try to run again tonight after the sun goes down, but I am not preblogging because if I wore myself out too much this morning I am not going to push it by running again tonight. Have a great day bloggers. Titus the cat is having a wonderful summer, decimating the local quail population. It is pretty sad.
Reminder: TODAY is the start of USA track and field championships. It is on ESPN Friday and Saturday and then Sunday it is on NBC (and I think Monday as well). PM: easy 4. Got my SI joint worked on today, felt better than I have in quite a few days ... now I only wish I could quit coughing.
