University of Toledo Trail - 12 miles, averaged 8:15.

The humidity barometer was high: my shorts were several inches above my current tan line.

Megan went out about 3.5 miles and went back. I continued and did my own out and back. The boys did 4 mile tempos back in Lafayette. Julian said ~5:50 pace, Brandon texted me his splits, which were well under 5:50. Not sure if he ran with them or not. I've told him he's going to be in shape to run 75 minutes in the half this fall. A good way from low 30 on the track, but he's still got time to get back in that kind of shape if he wants.

If you want to watch someone struggle, watch a colorblind guy try to guess the colors in a selection of dinner napkins. It's a good thing I don't have to match my running gear.

It is kind of fun that all running gear goes together. Sounds like another fly-on-the-wall moment I missed. :)

Nice miles.

I can see colors fine and would probably still struggle there! Good miles today.

I have enough color vision to get the right major category most of the time. But other times I just look at it and have no idea what color it is even though I "see" it.
