Workout day in the hot/humid weather outdoors.  Made it hurt again - 4 mi.AT, 1mi. TH, 5x0.1mi. stride.  Struggling with any kind of quicker pace right now.  combination of lack of recent training base, and heat are the only things I can think of.  Wondering what slowness I will put on the results column of some 5ks and 10ks right now.  Still on the fence about continuing to pursue the 100 mile goal.  8mi. total - 58:03.

Walked at work

AM long run - People Trails/Columbus Loop. 

SR 46 PTr, Mill Race, Donner, Airport (Turn on CR 500N), Marr, Turn in to Clairmont neighborhood, and back on to PTr.  Went under the 25th St. Bridge, where the new section of path is being constructed, and stopped in Lincoln Park rec center to hopefully fill water bottles. 

Boil Water advisory in effect for the whole city for ecoli found in the water, but, the people at concession stand generously gave me a bottled water. 

Still wasn't enough.  Ran out with 4 miles left.  Weather in IN a balmy 90 degrees and humid.  Consequently found myself really struggling and had to completely stop twice - bonk hardcore.  

Made it 30 miles with the last 3-4 mi. walking.  4:58:12
