Very slow jog today as I covered 6.00 mi at 13:02/mi pace. Some of that was my own slowness some was the stout winds blowing from the south ahead of a storm blowing into town. The last 0.75 mi of the run was through a very strong downpour that opened up without much warning. Can't complain too much about the rain though as the clouds kept the temperatures tolerable.

I pushed through 3.00 miles this evening but the left calf was definitely complaining during the last 0.5. There was absolutely zero wind blowing as I ran which is VERY unusual for Oklahoma and left me a very sweaty mess.

Tomorrow we rest.

While much of the eastern United States is baking, Oklahoma is lush, green and pleasant for July. I actually ran 3.28 mi today starting at 4:00pm. Definitely not a common occurrence.

I had to wait for the flooding rains to move through town but it worked out that I was able to run after dinner had settled. Much cooler than the average July in Oklahoma.

The rain started as I drove about a mile from the park. Thankfully it was a slow rain and I decided is was something I could survive. After all, Sunday I had endured a driving storm.
