| Set the alarm for 6am today with plans for an early morning slow(er) run... ended up sleeping the extra hour instead. Might try to make up for it tonight back in Chicago, likely will make this a rest day and run 10 miles tommorow... |

| 10 miles, 75 minutes, major struggle for last 45 minutes due to cramping. Drank too much last night... Also shouldn't have eaten fried chicken and waffles and smoked so many cigarettes beforehand! Lesson learned. |

Planned on running this morning... passed for extra sleep. Might take a late-night run upon returning to Chicago tonight. Or, might good to take today off - I started feeling soreness/tightness in my calf and thigh muscles during the 2nd half of yesterday's run - could probably use a day off. BUT - consistency. No skipping, no excuses, 6 days a week.
Late night Chicago run.. felt good out there. total time 1:08:08 over 9.44 miles. |

After 8 months, this is my last week working at BNSF Railway in Fort Worth, TX. Yay! I will miss some of the people and the hotel golf course where I've done all my running, but other than that I'm super excited to be done here! I start my next project next Monday 8/3 in Houston, so no escaping the brutal Texas heat! In fact probably hotter in Houston. Looking forward to some nice long runs in Houston's Memorial Park... it will be a welcome change to be running in the company of others! Also looking forward to the Chicago R&R Half Marathon this Sunday. Stay tuned....
Standard 8 mile run, 59 minutes, and I felt great (especially considering the 17 mile run I did on Sunday) |
