| It's funny how 70 degrees with 43% humidity and 45 degree dewpoint can feel so cool. It was nice! Just a little 4 mile progressive run!

| I took a couple of days off. Today was hot 72 degrees, foggy, 0 wind, 72 degree dew point ... so I just ran 6 fairly easy. 8:19 @ 138 HR. We are getting cooler weather starting on Thursday but I'll be on a cruise so I guess it will be TM miles for me for the next few days. next week is definitly taper week as I'm running the half marathon. Didn't intend this to be a taper week but it looks like that is what is going to happen.

Here is my signature run for the year. I've run the Chosen Half Marathon for Adoption 8 years in a row. Mostly placing 1st in my age division but this year I got blown away! The guy that won my age group (55-59) ran a 1:27. The race conditions were perfect with about 45 degrees at the beginning and 60 degrees at the end. Low humidity and no wind. I don't feel like I was prepared for this race as my training has been inconsistent and I haven't run many fast miles but with all that said I got through it fairly well and had some kick at the end. My heart monitor quit working after mile 3 so I ran most of the race only by feel. I believe I could have run a couple of minutes faster but I don't know how hard to push without monitoring my HR.

Lots of reasons the times are all over the place. Heat, training, foot operations and the last three years has been a point to point race.
All in all, this is a very fun race running along the Guadalupe River in Gruene Texas.

Another run with Callie in California. Tomorrow is a 5K we're running together!
Ran a few 200's at 5:50 to 6:20 pace to get our legs moving.

| Callie and I ran a Turkey Trot today. it was a big event but they did not have a timing system. They let groups go in 20 minute waves. My goal was to pace Callie to something below 22:00. We didn't quite do it but close. The course was pancake flat except at the turn around which had a bout a 30-40 ft rise for about a tenth of a mile. We ran along the beach in Hunington Beach, California.
This was a pretty easy effort for me as my HR only averaged 154 which is below avg marathon pace. The last 5K I ran was back in 2012. I should run some more and see if I can get to the suh - 18.

| Misrable run today. 65 degrees, 64 degree dew point, 94% humidity and a slow run that wears me out more than a fast run. I felt dehydrated at the end and sore.
