Coming off plantar fasciitus. Took the last 6 days off to let it heal and stretch it.

8 mile run after work tonight. Temps in the upper 70s. 8:00s out and 7:45s back for a 4 mile out and back.

Ugh! Killer run today. I have to work tonight and my wife went to the gym early so I didn't get out until about 9:45am. Temps were already pressing 90 with moderately high humidity. Recipe for disaster. These sorts of conditions simply suck everything out of me. I was able to get about 5.75 in, but needed a number of walking breaks which totaled about 1 mile additional. I don't know why my body responds so poorly to high humidity. I'm well hydrated, it just simply zaps me.

Another brutal July run, even for 7pm. Temps around 80 and oppressive humidity. Did a 1 mile warm-up, 2 miles at AT pace, then 5 miles fat burning pace. Stopped in the middle for a bit to walk and cool down. Walked .25 miles after the run and another .25 miles after the 2 miles of AT work.

Better conditions today. 4:30pm, temps in the lower to mid 80s. High humidity, but overcast nearly 100%. Slightly breezy and a touch of rain the last 3 miles. 8.8 AB miles around 7:45s. First 5 miles progressive building down to sub 7:30s. .2 mile cool down to the pool where I got some fluid. Another progressive 3 miles then cool down.

3 miles of stairs and 1 on the track at work tonight, all I had time for. All very easy and pure fat burning.

Mid 80s and humid at the start of the run today, sunny, hot, 4:30pm. Did a 4.5 mile loop back to the house at easy AB pace. Got some fluids and headed back out for a 2nd loop. Some cloud cover came over after about a mile and temps cooled down enough to allow me to press the pace without feeling sickly (as I normally do when its hot and humid and press the pace).
