| | No miles today. My right heel has bothered me a few times after long runs and it was tender after yesterday's race so I decided to rest it today.
Instead I will work on the garage today.

Excellent run. Legs are still tender from Saturday's exertion but they will get better as the week progresses. Beautiful weather as we move from the heat of late summer to the cooler temps of early autumn. Highs are dropping from the 100s into the low 90s each afternoon and the mornings are cooler as well. The surest sign that fall is coming is the flocking together of the doves in the area. We live amidst grain pastures so we have lots of doves around us as we run. Today, three mid-sized flocks flew over us as we ran. I am sure dove season must be just around the corner.

| | Another day off this week. The morning was lost in Kristoffer's trip to the orthodontist for braces and then I got busy with work. Good to rest the legs though and I plan to be pounding out the miles again soon. |

No miles again today. Rain, work and set building combined to keep me off of the streets.

Ran in the mist and rain today. The temperature was nice enough but it was still and humid. I couldn't tell for sure whether I was getting wetter from the inside or outside of my shirt. Right knee was troublesome. Enough so that a couple of times I actually "skipped" when I felt it weaken as I shifted my weight. Rather scary but I think it is just a freak occurrence.
I look forward to getting back into the groove in the coming days.
