Neighborhoods - 23:12

Two loops around the 1.5 mile loop in the neighborhood on this warm evening. My dinner was still digesting so I took it slowly at first and picked it up a little as I progressed.

A.M. - Neighborhoods - 21:57

Got in a steady run at 10 a.m. Getting warm already at this hour.

P.M. - Canal banks + Borah track - 35:10

Super hot this afternoon at 5 p.m. Wouldn't have wanted to go too much more than this. Didn't feel too bad though.

Gold's + McMillian Wetlands - 59:51

This one was tough. Being out of shape in the heat does a number on me. Started at Gold's and ran to the wetlands, did 20 minutes there, and ran back. Probably will do this run a lot from Gold's while Emily is working out (it beats the treadmill for sure).

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 21:06

Not much time today for a run. I was also lethargic all day, but I am trying to be consistent so I got out for a short one. Did 4 x 20 second pickups the last few minutes. Hot again today.

Also did some nice core work and thorough stretching.

Borah track - 53:11

Started the run at 10:30 p.m. with a headache and not feeling like doing much. We had just watched "Hurt Locker" on the big screen and had gotten some motion sickness from the first person camera work. My intent was to jog 50 minutes to an hour as easily as possible. The first 5.5 miles were at 7:45-7:50 pace and then I wanted to do the last half mile at marathon pace. I went a bit quicker than that (2:44) but it felt good. Then an easy mile home and called it a night.

Treadmill - 40:52

Usually I hate the treadmill, but this one wasn't too bad. I was running on borrowed time - Nica was in the bouncer watching and I was just waiting for her to squawk - but I made it 40 minutes. That was a pleasant surprise. I did 8 x 30 second and 3 x 1:00 pickups in the last half of the run.

I was going to run again this evening, but did 20 minutes of a good weights, core and stretching session. Long run tomorrow hopefully.

Run from downtown home - NT (between 40 and 45 min)

Saw a show at the Neurolux. Smartly I wore some running shoes and ran home at about midnight. Didn't throw up; that was a plus.

Walked a couple of miles earlier in the day with Nica and Leo.
