3:30pm, mid 80s, very humid, slightly overcast. Another tough summer training day. The humidity combined with the warm temps just really sucks the energy out of you. 7.25 easy miles today. |

| 10 am in Huddsonville, MI and 70 degrees! Sweet (Cartman-esque) Couldn't get rid of the humidity though as storms came through all last night and still are looming today. Either way, beautiful feel to the air. Its so nice to not have that sucked-empty feeling at mile 5-6. 8.78 miles easy. |

| Warmer temps today in the mid to upper 80s by the end of my run. High humidity gave it a St Louis feel. Took a couple stops in the middle of an 8 miler, but still maintained a pace right around 7:45s. Good quality week considering I only got 5 days in. Hopefully next week will be a mileage bump up to the upper 40s.

In Northern Michigan today. Beautiful morning for a 6am run. Didn't sleep well so I figured I'd get at it since I was up. 8.75 miles fat burning today. Saw 3 deer. Nice change from the city. |

Overcast, mid-70s, very humid. 8 miles fat burning today around 8:10s. Miles are starting to come together. We'll see where the weight is at when I get home from vacation. Still have probably 10 pounds to drop before I am back to training weight. |

Did 3 segments with a rest between each today. The first was 2.75 miles, mostly downhill. The second was 2.25 miles mostly flat and the 3rd was the first 2.75 miles in reverse, so mostly uphill. As is always the case at mhy parents cottage, there is no such thing as flat, or downhill or uphill as there are always rolling hills everywhere. Nonetheless, the 1st 2 miles of each segment was a progressive pick-up with the remainder a recovery section.
Segment 1: 7:56, 7:25
Segment 2: 7:34, 7:12
Segment 3: 7:23, 6:52
Total run was 7.75 |

Back in St Louis. Mid to upper 80s, humid, sunny, hot, etc. By St Louis standards an easy summer day, but relative to the last 2 weeks in Michigan it was brutal. Interestingly though my pace was faster today here at an easy AB pace than it was in Michigan. Not sure why, but I felt sluggish both weeks up there. Probably vacation eating. Last year I put on about 7 or 8 pounds during vacation over 3 weeks, this year it maintained, but given my running I should have dropped weight. My guess is it was the eating.
At any rate, 8.03 miles today @ 7:39s. |
