I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do on this run til I got 5 miles into it. I changed plans at least 4 times when I got to different intersections. I ended up doing 5 hill repeats on Jessie Dr. seeing as that area has been neglected recently and my goal race in Nov. is all about hills.

Temp wasn't too bad but the humidity was oppressive and I was soaked by the time I got home. 1:05:40/7:55

Home to Dunbarton and back. 1 mile warm up then progressed the pace down to marathon for miles 5 and 6. Two mile cool down. Another humid evening and I did not feel my best.  58:08/ 7:16

Rain run thru neighborhood, Monte hills and oak lea after work. Would have gotten soaked even it it hadn't been raining due to still oppressive humidity. 53:09/7:36

 A great day of running. A hilly and humid 10K in Elkmont with some good warm up and cool down miles and 3.2 miles of the race on the Rails to Trails. Kelly ran well also, placing third in her age group. We came home got cleaned up and got the girls off to Grammys house, then we headed to Desoto State Park to meet up w/the Schotzs to relax in the mountians for the rest of Sat and Sun. The park has a great trail system so Eric and I got in a great 9+ mile run Sat afternoon (our version of relaxing).

@ Desoto: Morning run before checkout from the cabin. 5 on trails then 5 on the roads. Part of it was on the RAA route going down the mtn from Mentone to Ft Payne. The hill milage was all steep switchback downhill. Pace variation from 17/mile to 5:15/mile. After checkout we went to see Desoto Falls and had a great gourmet picnic lunch. We will definatly go back with the kids.
