Very nice morning today with temp in low 60's and no wind.  I felt good today and ran pretty easy.  This mornings run was a good time to reflect on the tragedy that happened at the State Fair over the weekend.  It makes you realize how fragile life is and how important it is to live every day with purpose.  Praying for all of the families that were effected by this.

Philadelphia, PA:  I just ran on the hotel TM this morning.  I got up here last night and I'm staying in a different location than I normally stay so didn't have a chance to map out a running route.  I felt pretty good this morning and just took it easy.  I averaged around 8:20 pace but didn't really watch the total time.  't wasn't too bad since I haven't been on a TM in awhile.  However, I don't want to make it a habit and hope to get outside tomorrow.

Philadelphia, PA:  I was able to get outside this morning and ran down by the river.  It was a nice morning and enjoyed it after having to run on the TM yesterday.  I slept later than planned so had to cut the run a little short to make it to my meetings.  I felt good and ran easy as usual.

Back home in Indiana and it was a really nice morning with temps in the upper 60's and very light wind.  I felt good this morning but had some early morning conference calls so only got in 5 miles. Glad to be able to get out and trying hard to stay consistent.

Nice morning today.  Around 65 and cloudy.  I felt good this morning and the running seemed a lot easier than it has been.  Maybe the body is starting to react to the more consistent training.  I know I am feeling better and glad to get back into a normal routine.  Just hope I can stay injury free and keep building the mileage.

Pretty nice morning with temp around 68 and very foggy.  Felt pretty good this morning and just trying to add a little more mileage to my longer runs.  This is just getting me back to where I want my daily mileage to be but still have a ways to go.  I had a little pain in the foot today but I am trying not to get to worried about it.  Will keep stretching it and trying to strengthen it.  Other than that nothing special.
