I had to get the run squeezed between work and a board meeting during the warm hours of the afternoon. Got it done though. Now I have to think of when I can get the long run wedged into the week.

I got the week's long run finished today. Glad to have it out of the way and none too soon as I have only two more days of running left in this week.

 It was HOT this afternoon so I made the decision to go slooooooow. A very smart decision as I was able to complete the distance with little distress. I do need to remember to bring extra water to resoak my little running towel though. The warmer temperatures dried it out to the point where it wasn't doing much to cool me late in the run.
