I was hoping to get more miles in today, but it's so hot and uncomfortably humid.  I downed a Gatorade before I left and I think that caused me to have cramps.  But my back felt great.

Temp - 82

Humidity - 10,000%

I fell asleep watching WWE last night and slept pretty soundly.  I know I'll lose some friends by admitting that I like to watch wrestling, but I don't want to be a phony.  I got up at 6:30am and just went on a 3 mile run so I wouldn't be too late getting in to work.

Time - 22:24 (avg pace 7:28)

Splits - 7:35, 7:34, 7:15

I got up late again today, but I also went to bed late.  Two negatives make a positive.  I should be healthy, wealthy, and wise.  I saw the old lady that never looks at me.  I yelled good morning to her and got a mumble out of her.  I said good morning to one of the day laborers as he was walking down the street.  He said, "Good morning amigo."  My back was hurting a little again today.  Better stretch it out some and do more sit-ups.

Time - 33:44 (avg pace 8:26)

Splits - 8:31, 8:15, 8:28, 8:30
