| | I'm not going to lie to you. My first run back in over a month of no running was difficult. Wait, that was a lie. Forgive me. It was only over a week. But it is true that it was difficult. I got pretty sweaty, too. Every morning I hang my running clothes over the shower curtain rod so they'll dry out and not contaminate the rest of the dirty clothes. This morning while I was sitting on the toilet and leaning over to, well, you know, I was getting dripped on. Time - 26:57 (avg. pace 8:58) Splits - 8:59, 8:54, 8:59

A nice little run with my Vegas Ragnar Team this morning. We just went around a city block, not quite 4 miles. I wore my new shoes for the first time today. I finally cashed in on that gift certificate. I wanted to get the most bang for my buck so I went with the Asics Gel 3030. I saw others that I liked better, but then I would see that they were on sale for $80 and thought, "No way! I gotta get my $140 out of this thing!" But they feel real good. So, no buyer's remorse. Time - 38:53 (avg. pace 9:56) Splits - 9:41, 10:00, 10:04, 9:09 Temp - 95° Can I call it buyer's remorse if I didn't really buy them?

| | I knew today was going to be the last day I ran in my Mizuno Wave Inspire 4 Silver/Old Gold/Phantom shoes. That's why I ran so slow. So that I could spend as much time as possible with them. Either that or it was the 99° heat. I saw a very athletic looking young colored fellow being led to the park by his parents to run wind sprints up the retention basin hill. How cool is that? Parents investing in their kid's future. Good for them. I also realized 'they" have put in a drinking fountain next to the newly constructed bench. Nice. Time - 27:38 (avg. pace 9:10) Splits - 9:10, 9:12, 9:06 Temp - 99° |

| | Today was the Third Thursday Adventure Run. I was assigned to work a checkpoint that was more than 2 miles away. Today's high was 108°, and I honestly didn't think I'd get any runners. But they all came like a swarm of bees. The best part of the afternoon was getting to meet someone. It wasn't Oprah, and it wasn't Sarah Palin. It was Arizona Desert Monsoon!
