Yesterday I went to Chicago with the family to see Paul McCartney in concert. The concert was great and today I did some things in Chicago with the family so didn't get to run.

It was warm (75) and humid this morning. I was dragging this morning. It might be from the trip to Chicago and the lack of sleep the last couple of days. I took it easy during the run and was glad to get it in. I did get a new Garmin since my last one stopped working. I like the new size and interface to it.

We had some storms over night so it was cloudy but still warm and humid. Still feeling tired and had a early morning meeting so just did 4 miles. I did feel a little better as I went along but need to catch up on my sleep.

It was cooler today and less humid. It felt much better and I had a little more energy this morning. I still just ran easy as I am trying to get my legs back after the long biking break. It seems like I have a long way to go but just trying to be patient and slowly build back up. I'm trying to take the long view and be back up to speed for next spring. I have a few races this fall I am going to do but mostly just for fun and conditioning.

A pretty nice morning today since the heat and humidity is staying down. I am still just working on getting back into the routine and running everyday. These makes 4 days in a row so far so good. I am taking it easy on the miles until I get back into a normal routine then build from their. Just took it easy again today but did add .3 miles of barefoot running at the end. Going to give this a try and slowly build up to see if it will help with some of the foot issues I have been having.

It was warm (76) and humid this morning. I felt better this morning than I have the last couple of days. Still just ran easy as I am trying to build up the miles. Glad to get in a full week of running. It has been awhile since I have ran 5 days in a row. Will try to take it up a notch next week.
