Had a change of plans. I found a local 5k race in Alpheretta, GA, but my daughter wanted to go to Savannah, our former home. Could not find any races in or around Savannah. Ran 6.5 miles. It was overcast all day so it was not too hot.

Ran a 1/2 marathon distance on the beach in Myrtle Beach, SC.Got up early and it was wonderful. Sprinkled a bit at first and was overcast as the sun came up. I ran south into the wind, thinking it would be better for the return trip. The clouds cleared and I had full sun beating down on me for the last few miles. I was wishing I had that headwind then. I'll switch directions tomorrow morning.

In the morning I ran on the beach while my wife walked the boardwalk. She did 4 miles and I did 7. As she was about to finish, she waved for me to join her on the boardwalk. She wanted me to run with her to her finish. It was a short distance, but we enjoyed it. She likes not running out of air at sea-level. This evening I got out again for an easy 6 mile run.

I found a local 5k in Nashville. Ran 2 miles early am then left for the race. By the start time of 8:30am, the heat and humidity were horrible. Nice course entirely of rolling hills. The conditions really drained me, no speed. Fun race, but my time was slow even for me. Good news is I placed 3rd (of 8) in my AG. The men's and women's winners both said their times were over a minute slower than their usuals. I asked how people train in the south. The replies were early morning or after dark. One lady said this was her last race of the summer.
