Ran down to the track w/2 of my girls who rode bikes.  Ran 400 x 4 (79,75,71,70)- felt good about pushing the pace a bit just one day after a 18 miler.  Followed up w/running 100 x 8 on the soccer field w/bare feet.  Ran back home for 7.5 miles total.

Planned to run a 1/2 marathon today, but it was warm and real muggy.  Decided not to waste my $$ on a crash and burn and get in a long run instead.  Started my run @ slow mp and held it for 8.5 miles (7:15 pace)- jogged another 1.5 slowly to the track, wrung out my shirt, socks, and insert to shoe (real squishy) and proceeded to do 4 more miles on the track (7:15,7:16,8:30,7:17).  Was feeling fairly depleted, yet wanted to get a few more miles in- jogged a loop @ a slow pace 9:30ish (crawled the last mile) for 19.5 miles total.  Solid workout for an extremely humid day.
