Alarm goes off at 0600 and we are running by 0614. It's the only way to beat the heat for several weeks. Ugh.

5.00 mi done with 3.00 mi at tempo pace. Tomorrow I get to slog through a 2.00 mile easy jog and then a week of rest at camp. Woo hoo!

Finishing off the week with the distance that was originally scheduled for yesterday. Glad to have 2 weeks done. The two week total of 35.26 miles represents 9.21% of the total mileage I am scheduled to cover during the 18 week effort. I have spent 7h 23m 10s in my workouts thus far.

Today we begin out trek to Eureka Springs, Arkansas where we will be helping out at a vocal camp for 13-18 year-olds. Not much running expected but I expect to get plenty of exercise.
