Nice tempo run after work. I wasn't feeling my best, (too little sleep?) my legs felt heavy, but I pushed it anyway to try and gain some fitness. Splits: 7:15, 6:56, 6:45, 6:24, 6:40, 6:22. felt better afterwards than I did before. 40:24/6:44

The kids track meet was postponed due to rain and a flooded track, so I worked all day and rescheduled my partail off day to next Tues when we'll try to put the meet on again. My girls did not get out of the day w/o a workout. Before dinner my youngest two ran a steady 1/2 mile with me at 9:20 pace while my oldest continued on to get in a mile at 9:03, she was racing me at the end.

Other 4 were a 9pm run through neighborhood. 30:49/7:42

I had planned to run 10 from the house over to Jullian Harris Elem, and at about 6 I ran into Toby Page. Toby and I  both ran Boston back in '07. He was out for a 4 miler so I just ran along with him and talked. He had run the Chicago Marathon the year of the extreme heat and made it through unscathed; training in Alabama in the late summer and fall helped him out. It was nice to catch up with him and he helped me add two miles to my run. 1:31/7:35

1 with the kids at track practice. I was feeling the days previous run during the bounding drills. The track practices will be my mini speed workouts.

No race today so I got in a "long" run at 10am. Ran from the house across town to Pt Mallard and back. Stopped by Eric's house on my way back for an aid stop. He had braved the the early morning storms and rain and ran the McKay Hollow Madness 13.1 trail run with a co-worker. He said it was quite muddy, but he became "one" with the puddles. I was glad I stayed dry and mud free, plus I enjoyed sleeping in. My plan is to increase my milage by doing longer back to back to back runs on my 3 day weekends. 1:56/8:00
