AM - 6 miles in a very humid morning with a tropic feel as the TS Beryl makes its way across the northern part of the state.  Not the least bit enjoyable of a run.  Yesterday's events with family and the church conspired to keep me from my main run of the day.  Should have time for another one later today.

 

PM - had a nice effort on the treadmill this afternoon - after a mile warm up I ran pretty much at 6:50 pace for 9 miles.

PM - lunchtime - 5 miles easy on the treadmill.  Did not run this morning because as I opened the door to step outside at 6 am the heat / humidity was simply uninviting - 86 degrees and the sun was not even up.  Anyway, treadmill was my choice instead at lunch - will hit it again after work.  First mile or so, was a bit creaky - body did not seem to want to go - but fell into a nice easy aerobic cadence just under 8 min pace for a shake-out run. 

 

PM - after work - 12 miles on the treadmill at a modest aerobic pace - which felt great.  Body was feeling a little tired the last couple of days, but two really good aerobic runs today was the cure.

AM - just under 5 miles on a rainy humid morning.  Both big toes under the joint, are achy - left more than the right - not functionally causing any issues with running but never experienced it before.  Assuming it is from more volume and perhaps too much treadmill running. 

PM -  10 miles around Carillon and Feathersound.  Muggy and buggy (gnats everywhere - and some in my eyes, grrr).  Decent effort -

AM - 4 miles easy - light aerobic running.  Will plan to do a longer run this afternoon.  Big toes are all good - no treadmill running yesterday - so that seems to have been the cause of the achiness yesterday.

PM - 15 miles on the treadmill.  Felt ok for the first hour, but just got bored/antsy on the second hour and couldn't get motivated to do any more that point.
