| Brisk, breezy day. Felt pretty blah at first but better as the run progressed. Think it was good to take yesterday off despite the perfect conditions.

| With Shannon. Didn't feel great, but it is a beautiful morning, so could be much worse!

| Ran pretty strong for me lately, averaged 8:12s around WHP/PH with a jaunt out to EL and back thrown in. With all the ups and downs, solid effort, helps my confidence for RtB.

| Felt pretty logey but maintained a slow, steady pace out SH. Warm, humid, windy conditions.

| Another super humid day, hard to breathe. Still ran steady if sweaty.

| First leg of Reach the Beach. Very, very hot and humid, so had to manage pace carefully and save enough for the hills at the end. Did a pretty good job, running the first three miles at progessively faster paces, then keeping a solid (8:18) pace up a significantly uphill mile. Finished strong, averaged 7:40ish.

| Legs 2 and 3 of RtB. Leg 2: Ran 8.6 miles at 3:00 a.m. Went out a bit too hard, as I knew there were huge hills (500-feet elevation gain in ~2 miles) from 3-5. I forgot that the inclines just don't relent and ended up power walking in parts to keep from totally redlining. Warm foggy 100% humidity didn't help--breathing sucked. So I went from 7:40 pace to 9:30 average for the uphill miles to back under 8:00s at the end, with some good downhills plus rollers. Overall happy with 8:14 average, even though that sure looks slow here.
Leg 3 was a flat-ish 4.1. There's a pretty significant uphill out of Exeter though, and with hot fog clearing to sun, I really had to keep from blowing up in the heat. Ran this one smarter, was able to be steady throughout. Finished in just under 7:40 pace, which again seems slow, but in the heat I'm happy with it.

| With Shannon, WHP from HC w/o PH. Had major DOMS after RtB then got sick, so built up slowly--lawn mowing Friday, hike Saturday. Felt predictably bleah today but got around OK so back to it.

| Made it back to Eagle Lake, nice run with Shannon on a very cool, crisp morning. Wore long sleeves for the first time in forever. Ran slow but felt very relaxed pretty much the whole way.
