| AM - got out early this morning in 97% humidity...but it was actually a pretty good run of about 14 miles. Shoes were squishy as if I had run through a body of water, by the end of the run - a tell-tale sign of summer time in Florida. | Comments(3) |

AM - decent session this morning. 10 x 400's at 5k pace (5:48) with 200 meter rest. 2 mile warm up and 2 mile cool down. PM - had to go to Philadelphia for a work related matter for tomorrow. Absolutely spectacular weather when I got in around 6 pm - so I ran an easy 5 along the Schuylkill river - with about a thousand other people out cycling, walking and running. It was so nice outside, that it was almost an effort NOT to go out to run. | Comments(4) |

| AM - early start before early meetings. Went out along the river again this morning which was very pleasant. Sun-up is almost before 5:30 am here. 8 miles - last few much quicker than the first few. Someone told me it is National Running Day today. | Add Comment |

| PM - did not get out until just before 7 pm this evening. Was not feeling too motivated and expected anywhere from 4 to 14; ended up at 10 mainly because of a saturation point of too many gnat swarms with the little things getting in my eyes and mouth. Not a bad run otherwise. | Add Comment |

| PM - progression run on the treadmill - 2 mile warm up then increased pace starting at 7:30 by 10 sec per mile for the next 6 miles - ending at 6:30 pace - 1 mile cool down. Much more difficult in the last two miles than I recall when doing this workout a couple of weeks ago. Possible that the incline on the treadmill was improperly calibrated - or just an off-day. | Add Comment |

| PM - tried to do this workout at the Alpharetta high school track - but could not find a way in and a storm was about to hit - so I moved to the YMCA treadmill instead. Good workout. 2 mile warm up; 12 x 400 @ 5k pace with a 200 rest then 800 jog then 4x 200 @ mile pace with a 200 rest; 2 mile cool down. | Comments(2) |

| PM - on the treadmill - decent workout. 2 mile warm up; 2 miles @ HM pace; 800 jog; 1 mile @ 10k pace; 800 jog; 800 at 5k pace; 1 mile cool down. Felt ok. First rep was a bit stressful toward the end avg'd 6:24 pace; second rep was the worst of the 3 but hit 6:06 pace; last rep was fine 2:52 - I figure I can handle anything for a half mile. | Add Comment |

PM - 6.5 easy miles with Richie in St. Pete around Feathersound at lunchtime. Heavy local thunderstorm popped up just as we started and hammered us with heavy rain and wind - but the cool rain was welcome on what I expected to be a really hot and steamy run. Supposed to run with one of my daughters on the beach this evening for a 5k. PM - after work joined my daughter Riley who is at the beginning of training for a half marathon in the fall. Ran with her on a beach 5k in Clearwater - as a former competitive swimmer, she ran really well - averaging just under 8:50 pace and finishing strong. Really enjoyed running with her. Wife and other daughter met us for dinner at the Palm Pavilion afterwards. | Add Comment |

| PM - tough workout. 2 mile warm up then 4 x 1000 at 5k pace with a 600 rest; (800 after the 4th) then 4 x 200 at mile pace with a 400 rest; 1 mile cool down. Did this outdoors using the Garmin workout feature - most of it on the Greenway trail (concrete surface) which was heavily tree covered, so the GPS was a little off and as a result -- I could not seem to hit the 5:48 pace with any consistency - was either too fast or too slow (mostly the latter) according to the watch and so probably ran this much harder than I had expected trying to get into the right zone. The 200's mostly were uphill - so those were off too. Was really tired after this workout. Gahh. | Comments(2) |

| AM - 10 miles easy before work. Expected to feel fatigued or sore from last evening's workout but actually felt fine for the first half of the run. Hills and humidity depleted me a bit by the end. | Add Comment |

| PM - midday run of 14.5 miles. Looked like it was going to be a light rain - so I thought it may be worth going outside in the middle of the day - but the clouds cleared and it became really steamy and uncomfortable. A few clouds and a little drizzle toward the end made things a little more bearable. | Comments(4) |
