DC: It was hot (75) and humid this morning with some wind. I felt sluggish this morning getting started and ran real easy the first few miles. Starting running more normal pace after a few miles and felt better. The route I was running was rolling hills so that was good since I don't get to run hills very often. After about 8 miles the sun was up and the heat/humidity was taking its toll on me. Plus I didn't take any fluids with me so that was a factor as well the last 3 miles I didn't feel the best. About a mile from finishing I tripped over a steel rod sticking out of the ground and fell. Cut up my hands, knee, hip and shoulder but mostly just road rash. I don't know why there was a piece of steel sticking out of the ground on the edge of a running path. So finished the last mile running easy.

PM: Ran a little over a mile with my daughter. Tomorrow she starts running with the CC team after school so we just took it easy. |
