Doug's Running Thingy

Didn't get out of the house nearly early enough... 84 degrees at 9am for my run around the neighborhood - not good.

Only about 55% humidity this evening - of course, it was 93° - oh well.  Warmed up for a mile then did 6X two minutes on and one minute off.  The ons ranged from 6:30 to 6:50 pace.  Will try to work that down to 6 flat over the next month with an eye toward breaking 19 in some fall 5K.

Ravine trail plus overstreet for first time in a while.  Kinda rough at just under 8 minute pace.

Couldnt muster the summer track mile this evening, but I did do a couple easy miles on the trails and then another mile and a half with the dog.  Spent much of the day up and down a ladder and wandering around on the roof applying a strong surfactant/mildewcide.  Totally slammed my sinuses and totally tweaked my back - ah well, you would think a biologist/toxicologist would take more precautions with the stuff  :)

On the positive side, Travis cruised a 4:39 in trainers.  Not bad speed for the middle of summer milage work. 

Naproxem sodium and a good 8 hours sleep fixed up the back just fine.  Got out to the trails before the thermometer reached 80 - wooo.  No work the past couple days, so I'm heading back outside to deal with some woodrot - again, I say wooooo.
