| AM : easy 30 minutes - 3.3 miles over fairgrounds and back.
Great Day of Landscaping and making the yard pretty most of the day.
Lunch time run to get a segment crown back. Ran really hard after snadbagging the whole way to get over to the segment start. Ran around Tipton and the area to get it and some mileage. Tiredish laegs, but, not terrible. 12 miles total - 1:44:20
Humidity is here with a vengeance. Here we go with another Indiana summer.

| Lunch run with a Segment attempt. The harder Goeller side path segment is tough! Gotta get over there on a fresh day to get that one. Still need to shave about 20 seconds off a short 0.6 mile uphill segment. Ran around Tipton some more afterward. 9.35 miles total 1:17:50
PM - easy jog around Wildflower and SCreek: 3.54 miles - 30:25.
Strava is scaling back its free features, which is totally fair. $60 is totally reasonable for 1 year of this wonderful social platform (its the best Social media platform in my humble opinion... :) )

| Raining off and on all day today. Did a bunch more landscaping and fun yard work in the mud.
Went out at lunch and turned back. Went out for a brief faster bit of track work in the evening: Turned in to 9x200m on the crappy Southside Elementary "replacement track". They used to have a legitimate oval, but, replaced taht with a baseball field, and left us runners with a rectabgle with small radius curves around the playground. Its probably pretty close to accurate 400m, but, hard to tell on the 200m. Got the turn over and effort I was after, nonetheless. 42,41,39,37,35,33,32,31,29 seconds. Going all out to get the :29... which is humbling. :)
5 miles total - 37:23. Got some work to do towards the goal weekly mileage to make up for this low mileage day...

| Lunch Run - Grandview loop + the Sawmill hill. Decent weather, but, the Dominos pizza really has not treated me well. A couple of stops during the hour. 8 miles total - 66min.
Evening run loopping around Tipton neighborhood and Shoreline drive (my favorite). Decent weather - a little cooler. 7 miles total - 58:55. Felt a little better after this run and glad I did it.

| Lunch Workout: 5xPickups (WU), 0.5 mi Segment, 4xhills, 4xPickups
Barely missed the Segment crown (record) - looks like I stopped short again. Strava has a cool feature where you can Compare Efforts and replay the data vs. other people's efforts mapped on the segment. I was 3-5 seconds ahead until the very end, where the top 2 times abruptly blew past me... I will get this one! 10.5 miles - 1:18:31
Evening run around ShCreek and Wildflower loop. 3.3 mile loop x 2. 6.6 miles - 1 hour

| AM before work: 5.23 miles easy around wildflower and our neighborhood - 45 minutes. Great weather this morning. foggy, but, summer-time cool
Lunch Run to Tipton adn around a loop of choice, and back. Hit a couple of low spots in enrgy level taht I had to really fight through. 9 miles - 1:17
Short muddy hike with the family at Grandview - didn't go well... Back home - Teaching the kid to ride the bike - he's getting it, and its tough to keep up with him jogging beside him, now.
Evening run around the neigborhood - 5.21 miles - 47:39

| Long Run with a bunch of change of pace combined with grade change. Pretty strong run for me and happy with the energy level and strength left at the end of the run. Attempted the segment again, and missed it pretty bad. Do have the watch with the segment qued up (starred on Strava) so it tells me start and finish. It's definitely going down this next week. Bumped in to Ben in the last half of the run and ran (6ft. away) along side and caught up a bit. Maybe Monday on the segment... 22 miles total - 2:50:45
