The schedule called for 7.0 miles but I could only manage 6.5 miles before the sun got too high into the sky and my energy level plummeted. Somehow while I was away at camp for a week and then in Orlando for a week I managed to gain weight which made the running even less fun than usual.

Ugh. Today was scheduled for 5 miles but the humidity was punishing and I just wasn't feeling it. Added to the lack of willpower some lower intestinal distress gave me an excuse to stop early. I can't afford to be lazy. Tomorrow will have to see some miles getting done.
