Lunch 6 slow, painful miles while Aaron recapped his recent trip to Finland and Estonia. Then an hour of ultimate. It was very hot and humid and I suffered accordingly.

Why was listening to Aaron's recap so painful? I hope he doesn't read your blog.

If you're going to catch me on the mileage board you're going to have to wait for the fall. Summer is my prime time. Or hope I get injured which I don't.

The miles were painful (still sore and fatigued from trail runs last week), the travelogue was entertaining and informative.

I haven't filled in mileage from last week yet. Watch out. And once I get caught up on sleep in the next week, I'm hunting for you.
