2pm run at Delano Park(89 degrees and very humid). I got 8 laps in while Avy and Kelly cooled down at the splash pad and playground. The splash pad was also quite refreshing for me as a post run cool down. 1:01/ 7:37

6:30pm runs at the Huntsville cross country park. Ran the 1 mile, 3 mile, and 2 mile at various speeds. We had an early dinner which made for a heavy stomach and some uncomfortable running, didn't feel my best until the 2 miler.

New shoes = no pain

Kelly's birthday!!! After work we all went out to dinner and a movie at PF Changs and The Monoco. We saw UP in 3D, very good. Got home too late to get in a run on National Running Day.

Ran a little over 6 on the flats in my neighborhood then headed over to the Monte hills for two reps, the rest though oak lea, dunbarton and almon place before heading back home. Started at 11:15am but temps were relativly mild today with low humidity, cloud cover and a cool breeze. Not quite the heat acclimation I was looking for but over all a good run. 2:38:41/ 7:56

3.5 with Kelly and the AHS XC kids at their summer base building runs. We ran on the trail at Julian Harris Elem. Afterwards I hit the roads and took a tour of City View Estates then headed home. Cloud cover and mid 70's but still 100% humidity and some sprinkles. Hosed myself down in backyard after I finished. 9:45 pace for the 3.5miles, 1:03:23/7:55 for the 8

5 on the bike measuring the Spirit of America course. Then at high noon I ran the course, thankfully over half is shaded trail so the extreme heat didn't bother me. 35:26/7:05

I just realized my math on my countdown is off, that, and we've decided to run the firtst 6 miles from the AL/GA border to our hotel in Mentone on Tuesday afternoon, so Wednesday we can just rise and run instead of driving to the start.
