10 miles outside @ 9:30 pace.

Went to Gold's Gym and ran TM- 2 warm-up, 5 @ 6:48 pace, and 3 "cool down".  Beginning to get weary of the rotating TM/90degree weather runs.  Can't wait for Fall running!

Did another TM workout at the gym:  5 miles @ 6:29 pace, quick break to wring out my shirt, 2.5 miles @ 6:27 pace and finished w/a .5 "cool down"- 8 miles total.  

Ran 7.5 miles in the heat, 4.5 of them w/my wife.

5 miles on the TM w/1.25 @ 6:55 pace.  

OK...had quite the experience on a hotel run.  Tried the TM at a hotel in GA (11pm) and found it to be useless.  Decided to venture out and found a dark road in the middle of nowhere on a backroad alongside highway 95.  I went about 1.5 miles and got spooked, came back to the hotel, decided it was ok, and headed back for a second round.  The 2nd go round I felt a little more confident, yet at about the 5 mile point I heard a rustle in the woods and something the size of a small dog/fox/racoon was running alongside me.  Slowed to see if it was my mind playing games with me...no, it was a small creature running alongside me in the woods.  Suddenly my entire system kicked into panic mode and I took off on an adrenaline fueled spurt that seemed to last 1/4 mile, but was probably more like a couple hundred yards.  At one point my loose fitting pants began to fall to my knees and I pulled them up, held them, and just kept going.  Within a few minutes I reached hotel lights and regained my composure.  Upon checking my garmin at the hotel, my speed had sparked up to 12mph pace...wow!!  I may never know what it was in those woods, but I think twice before my next midnight run in unknown territory.
