I had plenty of sleep ahead of today's run as I napped on both legs of my trip to Orlando. Unfortunately I also seem to be fighting a head cold or a serious attack of allergies so I probably needed all of that sleep. Once in Orlando I pushed myself through the heat and humidity for a jog and hopefully will be healthy enough to keep my mileage in order this week.

It was hot and humid today in Orlando so I decided to run 7 miles. I'm smart like that.

7.00 mi @ 12:09/mi burning 835 calories.

Hopefully the antihistamine tablet will tackle the allergies that have been assaulting me and I will sleep well tonight.

I think I returned to the hotel weighing more than I did when I left. Most of it is water that has collected in my clothes from the fresh-after-the-rain humidity. My running shorts feel more like swimming trunks after exiting the pool.

5.00 mi in 59:42 @ 11:56/mi burning 606 calories.

Paces: 11:59, 12:11, 11:53, 11:57, 11:40

It seems as though anything much faster than 11:30/mi irritates the Achilles tendon in my right leg. Running boss says I need to strengthen and stretch the tendon. Guess I better get on that.

Last run in Orlando for this trip! I believe I return in 2 short weeks with the family to visit WDW so I cannot say it is the last run for the month.

4.25 mi in 50:08 avg 11;48/mi burning 473 calories.
