Ran close to home on the S. T.W loop. Ran 40 minutes. Legs were still really sore and sluggish from Saturday's 13 miler. I don't think I'm ready for that milage yet in this heat.

Ran in my GTS-7's. They have way too many miles on them and I felt like I was running on card board. I need one more pair of new shoes...

Temp. 81 degrees

Couldn't make it to the Y by 6:30 PM to meet the ladies (I'm a guy who has the privilege of running with some "fast" women). Had to hoof it myself. Did 5 minutes warm up pace and 30 minutes at 7:50 to 7:55 pace. Heart rate in the upper 170's.

Felt just right. Not too hard in the heat but enough to keep me on task and focused. I felt really sore and tired yesterday so it felt good to stretch my legs a little and run harder than the previous day.

Temp. 86 degrees.

Ran with Molly. She increased her distance tonight and running time by 8 minutes. Still hard as she is in the early stages of couch potato withdrawal...

Did Long Leaf run with Striders. Ran warm up mile at 8:30 and then stayed between 7:40 & 7:50 the rest of the run. Fastes was down around 7:20. Felt GREAT!!! Temp and humidity were low so that made a huge difference.

Ran with Keith most of the time and he kept me at pace, otherwise I would probably have gone out too fast.

Time: 5:30 am    Total Time: 48:55

Ran the Dunedin Casuseway (x2) for 10 and then out & back on the Pinellas Trail for 3. Ran with Keith, Jenny, Tom T., and Mary. Felt much better than last week's 13 mile suffer fest when I just crashed at 11 mile. Today, I felt fresh most of the run and when I did feel tender in my lower abs late in the run, I still felt I could do another couple of miles.

Time: 5:30 AM (much better than 6:30 last week!)

Total Time: 1:53:38      Water Stops: 5

Temp: 73 degrees
