Total Distance
21.00

12.2 mile run this morning. Standard Loop. It was a little hard to make the turn around this morning after running last night later, biking home, and then getting to bed late. Getting up wasn't easy and running wasn't cool. But I worked through it and came home to a cold bath. It seems to feel good right now and I've been taking them after every run.

8.8 mile run this afternoon up over the hill trail around GS and home the longer way. For some reason I wanted to brave the heat today. It was 103 in the shade when I took off. I started with a wet shirt and hat, and I also had a bottle of water. The shirt was completely dry after 1.6 miles, but it didn't seem to get too bad. I made the water last until 5 miles where I repeated the entire process again at the golf course. All things considered it really wasn't too bad... Came home and was just on the brink of cracking though. As I walked through our gate I started to get very dizzy and felt a puke coming. After I got some fluid I took a nice cold bath.

What time do you have to go to work in the mornings? I bet that was hard too.

From Superfly on Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 11:47:03

Kory- most of the time I don't "have to" go to work in the mornings. So that makes things nice.

From wheakory on Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 12:26:07

That makes it nice to be able to get up and do some long runs. I wondered how you could run so many miles in the morning. What do you do? I work at our University as a Systems Computing Engineer. I'm kind of flexible to where I can come in around 8:30am so I can get some extra miles in.

You sure don't mess around. What total are you looking to hit this week?

From Superfly on Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 13:32:24

Kory- I'm self employed. My wife and I own a property management company we started a little over 3 years ago. She manages the office every day and I help her with the out of office stuff.

Adam- I really don't have a weekly goal. Just get in as many every day as I can this week. I'm guessing right around 120 give or take.

That's great coming off WBR! I guess your body really does fall a part at 30. Oh wait, just mine as there are plenty of other bloggers hitting the mileage that are older than me...

Hey clyde,

I would like to send your cousin a thank you card or something. if I give it to you would you mind sending it. Thanks

From Superfly on Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 18:01:20

Bill you don't have to send anything. But if you want to I can get it to them.

From Walter on Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 19:32:59

Clyde, you always come up with the best slogans, thats not fair! It starts in my toes... Classic! Im not going to lie to you. You are 1 funny man!

From Superfly on Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 21:04:12

Walt- your right- It really does start in your toes with how solid you run in relays. I wish I had that going for me.

From Walter on Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 21:20:30

The saying should go..It starts in my toes then it comes out my nose, it always goes! I remeber last year at WBR, your first leg you came in and you were dry heaving and I thought, man I must not have ran my best because if I did I would be doing the same. So you are my mentor I must admit! Can you imagine the puke stories we'd have to tell around the camp fire!?
