I had to skip a few days because of a business trip, but hopefully I can get back into the groove now.  6 per day last week; 7 per day this week; 8 per day next week;  been averaging about 7:00 - 7:15 per mile.  Hopefully I can keep this trend up (and stay healthy).

It's starting to get kind of hot...

It's amazing how much more comfortable just a thin layer of clouds over the last mile or two can make your run...

Does the concept of buffalo wings terrify anyone else?  I mean, look at what birds do to cars...

Felt surprisingly good.  Slow, but good

The run felt good today.  I saw a snake on the trail; it was black with red speckles.  Any guesses on what kind?

I think I'm starting to get into the swing of things;  the runs are feeling progressively easier.  I'm not really getting any faster, but I am getting somewhat more comfortable with the daily grind.

Felt pretty good today.  I actually ran a solid two minutes faster on the normal route without any appreciable added difficulty; this bodes relatively well, but we'll see how the legs feel next week with 9 per day.

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

I guess it's a good sign that I don't get good and loosened up until about 6 or so miles in...

It's always a nice run when at the halfway point you can cut your brain off, cut your legs on, and just ride on in.

 

Avg pace ~7:19

Pleasant.

 

Slow, but pleasant; today's run was one of those that is fairly illustrative of the statement that, often, the most difficult step is the one out the door.

Ran a little 5k in St. George Island.  It was a flat, hot, fun race.  I ran slow, but that happens when you don't do anything but slow running in training, and I was expecting it.  In any case, a good time was had by all, and it was well worth the time.  If anyone reading this is ever in the Florida area, the Gulf Winds Track Club puts on a good race and had an abundance of good people; it is worth checking out.
