AM - Kids to the Indy Zoo.  A decent trip, but, pretty tiring and frustrating when it got crowded. 

Counting that as a workout. :)

PM - 21 mi. LR in the newly returned heat.  Ran a good portion of the ffirst half of the Mill Race course again.  Think it got into the 90s and stayed there throughout the run.  Drained 2 full handhelds and ate one Roctane gel.  Felt decent enrgywise, and not too bad on the leg soreness/fatigue throughout the run.  Stayed around 7:30 pace - 2:38:40 total.

Holding strong to the Vegan thing and haven't drank since June 6

AM long run with CRC around town.  15.4 miles - 1:57:50.  Some moderate pace thrown in there when I had to hurry to make it to the Kroger bathroom in time.  Wouldn't ya know it, both bathrooms occupied when I got there, and the lady finished first.  7:30 am at Kroger...
