| 2 hours easy to moderate - 15 miles. Already huimid and tough to breath.
We are selling our house and buying another one simultaneous and it is more than a little disruptive for regularly scheduled training and work schedules.
PM ride over to REMAX: 3.82 miles - about 15 minutes. Rode on new roadway alignment from SR 11 to SR 46 Eastbound. Huge shoulder - good stuff. hopped off, dropped off, and went for a 4.1 miles around town - 35:40. Longer route for the ride home: 6.7 mile - 26 minutes.

| Bike ride over to a live 5k race across town: 7.86 mile ride down SR 11 nad Central - 31:15.
About 120 people in the race, but, great organization kept the event safe. Folks stayed away from each other, and the start was waved and spaced out with cones. Hopped off the bike and ran some strides to warm up, realizing quickly the humidity level was awful.
Race started and my wave took off. With Alphabetical groupings for the waves, I quickly was completely seperate from the already distanced other racers. Pretty decent result for me, but, a massive effort for a pace I thought would feel a bit more relaxed - Splits: 5:45, 5:47, 5:44, 40 - 17:57. Out and back course, so a bit easier to gauge things.
Chatted a bit with friends afterward, which was awesome (my favorite part of racing and running), and then got some much needed assisatnace on maintenance for my bicycle. Josh really hooked me up with a derailer cable tightening. a very simple little dial taht he turned fixed the non-functional derailer for me :). Hopped on and headed for the track at Col North for some more work. Put in 8x400 at 5k pace to finish off the workout and plan for running for the day. biked on home the rest of the way going the long way. fun morning.

| 7am start for the long long run this morning: headed out and went and visited the new house (we think we have it in the bag) in Tipton Lakes. Keeping my eyes on the rabbit holes in the yard... (we have an inspector lined up for next weekend). out and down Goeller to Pppl trail down SR 46, and on out the people trial. Turned around after an emerg. no. 2 stop in the secluded trees of the little trail with a trail had at Marr (SShhhh!) Exactly 13 miles at turn around. Ran past Jane going out and back. she was strugglinga bit on the way back. Lots of people out on trail runnig and biking this morning.
around 16 miles on people trail by Hawcreek brdige bumped in to some buddies from running and a workmate. Pretty sweet to run with them for a while on a little lollipop. filled up handheld twice at Subway, which totally saved me. I would have been in trouble without those fill ups. Carried on after seperating from the crew of 3 guys, and finished up a little cooked at 28.7 miles. Whew! Laid down fora nap afterward, and crushed a bunch of water and elctrolytes. Weighed in after shower, and tipped scales at my lowest recorded weight! - 143.0 28.7 miles - 3:54.

| Morning run at home before our camping trip: 3.25 miles 28 min.
3 hour drive down to Red River Gorge and NAtural Bridge area in KY.
Family Hike up Natural Bridge - 2.37 miles up and back. The boys did great. Set up campsite afterward, and then hiked a little bit more on Rough Trail. Drove over to trail head via Nada Tunnel. The 5 year old had to go emergency no. 2 in the middle o the hike. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. :)

| Long Long Run: 31.6 miles - 5:22. All road, and a death march when I ran out of water with about 10 miles left. Survived and and now recover and try again next week. Lowest weight I've seen on the scale ever afterward.

| Much better. Out and back to Arbor neighborhood, and then out and back to get the final 6 miles of the 50k. Feeling decent at the end largely due to enough water, calories, and temperature more fit for running a long way. 4:22. 1 hour faster than last week :)
