Day off. I was due for one after 25 on, and Megan and I are headed to Florida for our honeymoon. This will be a recovery week obviously.

Bonita Beach Road/Vanderbilt - 8 miles, averaged 8:15

Warm. 86 or so when I left, about 64% humidity and 72 dew point. Megan and I are going kayaking after lunch.

Did some research last night while Megan was grading and found the Wissahickon Wanders Runners Club. Track workouts on Tuesdays at what will likely be my new track (but I've got some options).

Life is pretty darn good.

Hickory Blvd - 4 miles, averaged 8:34

The SlowJoe figures: 82, 69%, 75 dew point (Death Point). It was extremely hard to run with the dew point that high and my current dehydration levels (I've been consuming more than a gallon a day but it's a lot of sun. Whiskey and beer or wine combos don't help).

Hickory Blvd. - 6.25 miles, averaged 8:44.

Megan came with me to the 2-mile mark. I saw a dolphin on the way back. Kind of wanted to jump off the bridge and swim with it rather than run another 2 miles in the heat (better today but just lots lots of sun). Jet skiing yesterday and Everglades today. Headed to Lafayette for a few days to finishing packing (so long and thanks for all the shoes) and the Megan, Oliver, and I are headed to Philadelphia.

Looks like the mileage board exploded this week with some serious long runs.
