It was warm (76) and humid this morning but better than it has been.  I felt good this morning getting out but just ran easy.  Good to get back out and looking forward to getting back into the running routine.  It has been awhile.

Warm and humid this morning but better than last week.  I was slow getting going this morning.  I just felt tired and sluggish.  I started off real slow and it took a couple of miles before I felt like I could get going.  I finished up at a better pace and felt better the last couple of miles.  The body might take a while to get back into the routine.

Bremerton, WA:  What an awesome day here.  It was in the mid 50's and felt great to have a break from the hot and humid weather.  Also, it was awesome seeing all the beautiful scenery.  I got out just as the sun was coming up and it was beautiful reflecting off the water and the mountains.  I felt good this morning and it was good getting in some more hills than normal.

Back to the heat and humidity.  I slept in this morning from the jet lag so didn't get out until later. It was almost 80 and humid.  I actually felt pretty good and just ran by feel.  I got very hot toward the end but luckily it was a short run so didn't effect me too much.
