It was my first day of work and I was dehydrated and not motivated to run in the heat. I went 4 miles without a watch just to get a run in.

Ran four miles with Tom as he was really busy and didn't have time for more than that. We kept it at a decent pace, but both of our legs didn't have much energy. It was somewhere between 6:35 and 6:40 average.

Decided to wait and run in the evening once it was dark to recover from work and what not. I finished right before the downpour hit. I went a solid 7 miles. I was running based on time, but I definitely felt like I was probably holding around 6:30 or a little faster. I had some guys yell at me to run on the sidewalk so I didn't get hit by a car though.

My right quad felt pretty tight at the beginning of my run. I was also feeling my right inside achilles tendonitis stuff, so I tried to do most of my run on the right sides of the road. I felt really good the longer I was going. It started to rain when I was about two miles in, and the last two miles of my run were a complete downpour, probably one of the worst I've ever ran in! I averaged somewhere between 6:10 and 6:20 miles. The highlight of the run was probably that I had a car pull up along side me, and it was two girls asking if I wanted a ride. I told them no because I only had a mile to go. I was going to do strides after, but the downpour was so bad it was basically impossible, plus by shoes were bogged down at that point.

Went out in the morning in the light rain and did 5 miles. My shoes were still soaked from yesterday so I decided to wear my kinvaras instead. This helped me not have my tendonitis, but my calves might hate me tomorrow. I averaged around 6:50 for a pretty easy effort. Hoping for a solid long run tomorrow.

Solid ten miles this morning. The weather was perfect for a run. I like the loop I came up with, but the uphills were pretty killer. I was around a 6:50 average at 5 miles, and ended up averaging 6:40 for the total ten, so 6:30 for the second half. The last half mile I really grinded, and I was around 6 minute pace on that gradual uphill. My right calf was sore today, but it wasn't tendonitis. Solid run and I had to keep the focus on the pace, but it felt good. The big hill on mile 4 just about got me though.
