AM - 15 miles. We were supposed to run a 5K in Knoxville this morning... but we were also supposed to get here at 9pm last night. Due to who knows what issues the airlines were having, we sat in Denver's airport for an extra 6+ hours, and didn't get to Andrea's house and to sleep until almost 4am. Yesterday was a long, slightly annoying day. So, even though I was still feeling pretty good, I didn't see the point in racing on 90 minutes of sleep. No point in wearing myself out. Instead I decided to just make today an easy run... ran the first 5 miles w/ Andrea, then 10 more solo. It is so HUMID here! I was dripping sweat about 2 minutes into the run and didn't stop sweating until about a half hour after I finished running. Despite the humidity, it felt good to run all the nonstop rolling hills through the countryside... I love this type of terrain.

Slightly disappointed that we didn't get to race, because I really felt that a sub 15 was in the cards, despite logging a lot of mileage this week. 

PM - 5 miles easy. Spent the day on a boat (First time trying to water ski, I couldn't even get up!... Andrea is awesome at it so it was fun watching her). Did a little shakeout run (on some major hills) before dinner.

Too bad you couldn't race. The heat/humidity in the South really saps energy during runs. Runworks calculator says a temp of 80 adds 26 seconds to a 5k versus temps below 60- so a sub 15 would have been amazing.

Yeah I think I'd actually have a better shot at going under 15 up at higher altitude than in this world of humidity! Its pretty rough!
