It was 45 degrees and humid this morning from all the rain last night.  I ran 4 miles before meeting up with our running group at the track.  We did a "hopscotch" workout.  We divided in to groups of equal ability and each group ran in a single file line around the track.  The runner in back had to run faster around the group to take the lead and then it was the next persons turn.  We did this for 2 sets of 10 minutes.  Our group averaged around a 6:45 pace depending on who was leading.  It was actually a lot of fun.  Then I ran a bit with Barry before running home.  Total 10.34 miles.

It was 46 degrees this morning.  I ran 8.66 easy miles..kinda tired.  I had to get up early to register my son for college classes this fall and registration opened up at 12:01am.  He will be home August 2nd and starts back in school on the 27th.  I was able to get him all the classes he wanted at decent times too.

It was 45 degrees this morning with almost no wind at all.  I ran 1/2 mile to Barry's house to pick him up for our long run.  He said he wanted to go 15-18, but I had other ideas.  I convinced him to run the greenbelt in old town and by the time we got there I said " I'm running down to Indian Hills before I turn around".  He reluctantly went with me.  By the time we made a rest stop at the student union he said "Hey, I am going to get like 19 miles today".  I asked him if he was OK to do that and he said yes.  We ran back to his house and he had just over 19.  I ran home to get my 20.  I ran 20.11 miles on an absolutely perfect morning for a run.
