The Dude abides...

Back from a week of fabulous diving in Roatan Honduras.  One of the awesome dives we had...we were at about 85 ft and there was a 6-7 ft Nurse Shark napping on a ledge on the wall so we were taking a look and a 3ft Barracuda decided to join the group and stopped in the middle of us staring us down.  I could have reach out and grabbed it.  I was just starting to wonder who was on the menu when the dive master chased it off.

Took the week off from running on purpose to give myself a little break.  Back to the real world.  A little nervous about how I'd do this morning I haven't had a full 9 days off running in over 14 years.  Didn't push anything and had a pretty good run, it started to get hot around 8 or so miles and that made it a little tough but I got through it.  My wind was great no problems there, that's what was really worrying me.  Back to work tomorrow. 

Back to the grind, day 2.  Legs slightly sore from yesterday but not too bad.  Still trying to get back to a normal schedule.  Good run today started to feel better about 8 miles in or so.

Good run today after not running yesterday.  Just overall exhausted yesterday so I slept in.  What's with this summer and the warm mornings.  Pushing 80 again this morning before the sun was up, the roads are still warm at those temps makes my feet hot.  I've now determined that the higher the temps get above 75 the slower I run, not that I'm fast anyway.

A little cooler this morning made for a really nice run.  Didn't hurt that I had to be out the door a little early so I was 7+ miles in before the sun came up.  Aside from 2 dogs being loose at about 8 miles in, I have to thank the cat and other runner that came along to distract them, pretty uneventful today.

Nice easy run this morning when I woke up at 6:30.  A runners curse is waking up early on a Saturday without an alarm.

Just watched Galen Rupp win silver in the 10K, AWESOME!
