I was going to run early, but I ended up staying up way to late with our church have a set of revival meetings and getting ready for my Sunday lesson. I knew it was going to get warm later, but I figured it was only 5 miles so I will just run in the afternoon. 

Ran down to the local high school track (about a mile) and wanted to get a little track work in. The doc said I could do a little speed work and he stressed that, leaving me the famous works of 'don't be a knuckle head'  (and Kelli and Preston reminded me of that very same thing). SO what is safe? I figured just 4x400 repeats with 200 jogs would be fair enough. I knew I didn't want to go all out, but maybe just below 5k pace since I am sure my fitness is not where it was or I want it. Ok it was hot- 88 degrees and humid. Blah, and on the track I could feel the heat on my feet through my shoes. Splits 1:28, 1:29, 1:30, 1:30 and I am sure I could have thrown a few more in, however, mission accomplished and I feel for the most part fine. I really want that feeling to stay the same.

Early slow running. Legs were tired, but I think all of me was tired. I woke up at mile 4.

Missed my run yesterday due to work day so long it was silly...And included 2 flights from Dayton to Cincinnati and back.... 12 minutes on the company jet. Waste of money there, but I just do my job.... 

Today... Hot... 80s... I had my mini track workout this week so it was time for my mini tempo run. 7:45ap, 7:17, 6:54 tempo paces. the heat made it feel like more, but I'm on the 5 limit still. Doc in the am... Will see if I get cleared for more.

Saw the doc today. Good visit, he figures I'm about 75% healed and has cleared more miles and a little more speed work after watching me on the treadmill. He said I was striking front to mid foot on the tm, but I had the pace up (6:43) so I am not sure about my regular runs. Good overall workout with the doc and cold laser treatment. Still has me on a basketball ban.

Taylorsville park, early, warm and humid 70/96% Half trails/half pike bath- it was baby animal day with a baby possum on the back of momma and later baby deer with a few bigger ones out and about. Overall run was fine, slowly increasing mileage at an easy pace per the doc. After the run by the car, it would have been nice to have a picture as steam/mist was rolling off my body and clothes. Its one of those things that if you saw it in a movie or a poster you would have thought it was Photoshopped. Why do I get the feeling it is going to be one hot, humid summer? As long as I can feel alright, I won't complain so call me out if I do!
