Not too hot this morning (70) and no wind.  I felt good after resting yesterday.  Just took it easy and continue to build back up the miles.  Looking for my first full week of running in several months.  Just hope the foot and body continue to feel good with no problems.

We had some storms move through in the night and it cooled things down.  It was around 68 this morning and not as humid.  I was dragging this morning.  I had a meeting out of town last night and didn't get to sleep until around 1:00 so feeling the effects this morning.  I only ran 4 miles easy and was pretty much tired the whole way.  Just wanted to get in some miles and make sure that I run everyday this week.

It was cooler this morning (65) and no wind.  A great morning for running.  I felt better today and more rested.  I just took it easy though and crusied along just enjoying the morning and being outside.  I am starting to feel stronger as I am getting back into a normal routine.

Beautiful, cool (60) morning today.  I felt good today and was running easy but had a bathroom emergency and had to get back so had to cut the run short.  I would have liked to do a couple of more miles but it probably won't hurt too much but just glad to get in a run every day.

Beautiful morning today.  I felt good and was able to run at a little faster pace than normal.  The body feels like it is starting to get back into the running mode which feels good.  Hopefully, I can keep building up and get back to normal running mileage in a couple of more weeks.

It is starting to heat back up but still a pretty nice morning.  Temps in the upper 60's.  I felt good today and wanted to go a few extra miles today.  No problems with the foot or anything and it was good to get in a full week of running.  This is the first week that I have ran 6 days straight in many months so happy about that.  Just want to keep building up next week and take if from there.  Thinking of signing up for a half marathon on Nov to keep the motivation up.
