AM- 6. My ankles/shins have partially recovered from the run in worn out shoes last week, but not completely. Tired. I finally found my Strassburg socks, so can wear those at night. My left Achilles has been real painful lately, so taht should help.

Lunch- ultimate frisbee. We've had very competitive games with lots of runnings the last 2 times. Fun.

PM- PM with Barry and Seth. It was hot- mid 90's, and probably the most humid run I've had in years. Just oppressive- we were commenting on the humidity within the first few minutes. Holy humid, Batman. Barry did short route, Seth and I did the long route but with a shortcut around the lake. Fun, but so humid. And slow, at least a mile per minute slower than usual.

My wife ran a trail 7k last Saturday and loved it. She said she's addicted and is already counting down till our youngest is in school and she can go trail run daily.

Lunch- 10 or so. Hot again. Some clouds did blow in the last 10 minutes which provided welcome relief from the heat index of near 100 deg. I'm ready for some cooler fall weather.

Lunch 9.5 or so in 75 with Aaron and Jim. 

Pearl Izumi announced today they will stop making running shoes and gear this year. Sad day- I'm proud to have run on their team for 2 years, and still have several years worth of new shoes in my closet (with 4 more pairs on the way).

Lunch- ultimate. Another competitive game, though a bit shorter today as we were all dying due to heat/humidity.
