That is the lesson for today folks. Teresa and I were scheduled to run 10 miles today but I didn't sleep well last night. The last time I checked it was 0024 and I was still tossing and turning. As a result, when the alarm sounded at 0600 I was NOT ready to start my day with physical activity. We eventually got. out the door and down to Lawton High (booooo Wolverines) to run on the track. I did okay for the first 6 miles then I hit a wall where my legs were dead with no will to run. Combined with the heat this spelled the end of my run as I coasted another 1.5 mi with no real pace.

It was a tough run this morning on legs that are still recovering from yesterday's 7.5 mi effort. I really wanted to get a bit more done but my legs told me they were finished and I chose to listen. My sleep, hydration and nutrition have not been well controlled since the vacation to Vancouver so I will attempt to improve those factors in the coming weeks.

| | Teresa finally decided she wanted to take a rest day and see if it would help the leg that has been painful during the last few runs. I was happy to oblige for the extra sleep. |

| | Let's face facts here, it is stupid hot outside. Even at 0630 the
temperature is oppressive for running or vigorous activity of any kind.
Teresa and I have been trying to keep to our prescribed training paces
and the result has been some easy runs that felt very hard. Today we
just backed off the pace and tried to run with a focus on feeling
comfortable and made it our full 45 minutes. I believe our new strategy
will be to keep it slow until the 100+ days are behind us.

Okay, it is finally here: Friday! While the rains moving through will
help get us below the 100*F mark for the first time in 3 weeks, it was
still a bit warm for the morning run. Teresa was undaunted by the
conditions though and drug me through our 45 minute workout.
