Late: 9 miles in 62:20 on the treadmill. 1 mile warm up, then 52 minutes @ 9 MPH

Drove 8-9 hours from Toledo, unpacked, and it was still warm and muggy outside and I didn't feel like a slog so I did an solid aerobic effort on the treadmill. I didn't start my watch until mile 4 because I was half asleep but it was AT+ effort. Felt strong though. I was going to do the Roblek but I forgot the exact steps, so I kept it simple.

Good thinking all-around on the workout.

I know it's probably always hard to leave Toledo.

It's no Philadelphia but it's not so bad. My only complaint is that it's too flat. Strava doesn't credit me for my 50 total feet of gain. I often run 500-700 feet on my 8-10 mile runs here.

That could be their new slogan - "Toledo…It's not so bad".
