I have been running (some) but haven't been keeping up on the blog.  I haven't been running as much so haven't had much movitation to log it.  I will try to keep up better going forward.  Just did an easy 4 miles in the neighborhood before heading to church.  It was much cooler today so felt good.

Did a 25 miles bike ride today.  I haven't been out on the bike much this year but is was nice to get out for a change.  Rode pretty hard in stretches.

Ran in a 24 hour relay today.  We weren't really competitive so just ran normal pace.  I felt good the whole way and had a good time with the team.  One more leg tomorrow.

Second day of the 24 hour relay.  I got lucky and had some good legs.  Ran at 9pm last night and 10am this morning.  It was warm this morning and really humid. I didn't feel as good this morning so took it easy.  Could have been the weather. Had a good time on the relay.

It was warm and humid this morning.  I was stiff and tired this morning.  I had a real back pain in my neck from sleeping.  I could hardly turn my head.  Just took it easy this morning and glad to get out and get some miles in.

Stayed up late with the kids last night so was out later this morning.  It was hot and humid this morning. I just ran easy but didn't feel the best.  Just ran 4 since I started late and had to get back for work.

Vacation the last few days so didn't get any running in.  Went to Orlando and theme parks so got plenty of walking in.  It was good to get back out today.  It was warm and I felt good.  Nothing special just glad to get in the run.

I was late getting out today so had to cut the run short to get back to work.  It was hot (83) and humid this morning.  I was dragging most of the way so just glad to get in some miles.

Warm and humid this morning.  I was tired this morning.  Went skiing last night and was stiff and sore from that.  Just didn't have much energy.   I was planning on going longer today but just didn't feel like it.  Still glad to get in what I did.

Philadelphia, PA: Ran in the afternoon between meetings.  It was pretty warm (88) but didn't feel bad.  I felt good and just took it easy in the heat.
