Easy run.

6:19 am, 58-63°F, 86% humidity, winds 5 SSW, sunny.

We had big booming thunderstorms again last night and so it was fairly humid again this morning. Also, I did not encounter any sprinklers. Maybe people have turned them off because we've been having thunderstorms every night for the last several days and the lawns are getting enough water from the rain.

I ran slowly today. Maybe I put too much into the hill sprints yesterday. I'm just feeling tired and run down. I'm getting concerned about my ability to run a half marathon a month from now.

AP: 10:03. Splits: 10:18, 10:20, 9;57, 9:49, 10:02, 10:12, 9:47, 9:58.

Those hill sprints yesterday were FAST (clocking your fastest ever, right???) You should be tired. ;o)

Hang in there, everyone has weeks where they feel like crud. I have 100% confidence in your ability to run a half in a month!

Hey, I scored twice today with the sprinklers!!!

We ALL have tired days; don't let it shatter your confidence. You have definitely put in the training to run a half in a month! Hill sprints SHOULD make you tired.

I love thunderstorms!

Eight mile runs are the best.
