It was cool but humid and we did not have on course support for water which left me a little parched at the end. I still managed to average 5:38 pace for the last 7 at marathon pace. Hopefully by the end of the cycle I'll be able to average 5:35 for the marathon. I think that's a good goal.

PM: 50 min. pool run

I went to the Nationals game today and there was no shade, no breeze, and it was blazing hot. Sweat dripping everywhere, I soaked my shirt through and I began to feel like shit despite drinking a lot of fluid. I left at the 6th inning and came home. I'm still pretty beat from that so I didn't run again. Me and the heat do not get along. Why is it in the 90s anyway? I thought September was the fall.

AM: 2.25 WU 25x400m with 100m jogs in between reps. 1 CD

terribly humid this morning. at 6 am it was 74 with 73 dew point. drank a lot of nuun water which came in handy--never was thirsty during the workout at all. George gave us water bottles every 5 reps which helped. Started at 82 and hung out in the high 70s until the end when I was below 75 for the last five. Felt very strong-getting into shape. shoes were soaked with sweat by rep 15. It's disgusting when your shoes are soaked and squish when it's not raining out.

PM: 5 easy + alternate core routine, stretch trainer, foam rolling

this morning a cyclist came up while I was running and mentioned he knew who I was from reading the RunWashington articles about me. He was amazed I was running so much without getting hurt and wished me luck with a fist bump. I already have a fan base!

didn't get my core and prehab routine in this morning since I was running behind. My Saucony Ride 7s are toast. I didn't get a lot of miles out of them but I've pummeled them with several hard and long runs and that really wears them out quickly.
