Apparently the secret service is running out of money, due to the Trump family's excessive vacations. In addition, most of this money goes to Trump himself as he usually chooses to stay at his own resorts. He conveniently raised the prices on all of them when he became president.

Modified the 4 by mile workout. It used to be down-up-down-up. Now it's up-up-down-up. The only change is the first rep which is now .82 miles uphill instead of .98 down.

Surprisingly pleasant this morning. The dew point was 63 as opposed to the 73-75 I've been dealing with for the last two weeks. I think that made a big difference.

First rep was 4:38 going uphill (5:40 pace). I'd never done this segment for time before so I had no idea if that was good or bad. Started the second rep going uphill and my legs felt really flat, like I was running in syrup. However I came through the first split a couple of seconds faster than I ever have before. Managed to maintain all the way through running 5:35 for the uphill. That's 3 seconds faster than I've ever done it.

On the downhill rep I once again felt like I was running really slow at the start. However I hit the quarter in 80. I picked it up slightly as I went an and I ran 5:14. That's seven seconds faster than I've ever done a downhill rep in this workout. On the last uphill segment I went all out. I actually started off a bit slower than the second rep, but gradually inched ahead. I hit 3/4mile in 4:08 and figured I had a shot at a sub 5:30. Ran the last quarter in 79 for a 5:27 uphill mile.

I first did this workout two years ago: 5:35 down, 6:07 up 5:49 down, 6:09 up.

Today 5:40 pace up, 5:35 up, 5:14 down, 5:27 up.

Then I did rhino hills in 36.6, 35.0, 33.8, 33.2

2 by 4.84 miles on beltline. 5 mins rest in between. It was a dew point of about 67. However, it felt very oppressive still. First half is uphill, second half is downhill.

First rep (9:30, 5:53, 5:34,8:37) 29:34

Second rep (9:26, 5:58,5:38,8:33) 29:35

On my cooldown my knee was bothering me. It has been feeling bad for about a week since I fell on it. I walked the last mile back to my house. It was fine during the warmup+workout.
