At the start of my run today 92 degrees, it was the hottest one of the season. It will take a few days for my body to get used to this hotter weather. But I am very happy it is here it will be gone to soon. I did the full golf course loop today kept things on a much slower pace until I get used to the heat. I did 25 min of Bowflex on my upper body and finished with 200 crunches.

It was actually quite nice made for a cool run  a few thunder boomers and it was all over with. The rain made for a cool run though.It was awesome.

I do not know what was wrong today but the ld legs were way whacked out. I felt like they had no rythum, felt like they were going every which way but forward. So it was one of those runs that It took almost every bit of energy to stay focused and just get it done. A rest day tomorrow and a long run on sat.

I had to go into work early this morn, so I did not get out on my run until about 10:30 am. It was very windy and muggy and besides I was very tired not much sleep last night and my legs were still feeling on the whack side but we stayed with it and it ended up being an injoyable run. I did my favorite sat long run loop up over Harry's Hill into Salem and back to home. Going back up Powehouse road I had a very steady head wind we battled through it. I did 25 min of upper body strength training on my Bowflex and finished with 200 crunches. It was a scheduled down mile week this week to give my body some recharge, we will hit it hard next week. That is the plan for now. See ya then. Beam me Scotty.
