PM: 8.2 ground miles.

Conditions were decent. I struggled on the hills but overall felt decent at ~8:15 pace. I've been taking in a lot of water in the gym, so I wasn't sure how the body would respond.

Started a workout but modified it because it wasn't happening. Managed 2 X 15 minutes with 5 minute recovery (10 minutes @ 8.0 into 5 minutes @ 8.5). Was bummed but ultimately not upset. Just trying to run every day, strengthen some weak areas, and see what fall brings.

My feet were so squishy at the end that walking over to get more water I was kicking sweat up from my shoes.

Put in 5 applications to Home Depot. Lots of insulting tests and so forth. In high school, college, and part of my Master's I sold woodworking and contracting tools at two different companies. I hope that's worth something. I had a dream last night about working out an issue for a customer that actually made sense.

Did 15' strong aerobic progression to the top of the hour. Ended at 10 MPH, which felt hard. Reset for an easy mile.
