AM:  65F, 90%.  5 @ 8:25 AP.  Legs felt all bogged down yesterday so I decided on a cutback day today.  I was a little pissed when I saw it was 65 degrees though (~10 degrees cooler than forecasted).  Some more thunderstorms had come through last night to cool everything off.  I think I would've structured my week a little differently had I known this opportunity would be available, but maybe I'll luck out tomorrow morning and it'll be decent (long run day).

PM:  82F, 59% (HI 84F).  4 @ 8:25 AP.  Still tired.  But on the plus side, I'm getting a sweet watch tan from all these lunch runs.

You can actually see the notches...ridiculous!

That stinks! Sorry. I hope your luck holds for tomorrow. My morning was in 46 degree temps with a wind chill to make it feel colder. Took me a while to warm up in the shower. I would've given you 10 degrees of our cold so we could both run in 55 degree temps. We need weather brokers to buy and sell temperatures. It would solve a lot of running problems.

That, sir, is one of the best ideas I've heard. Maybe I could also collect extra degrees this summer and let you and others up north use them during the winter.

Coke.... no pepsi.

From SlowJoe on Fri, May 29, 2015 at 17:55:20 from 104.51.208.13

Yeah I'm hoping the Coke people will find this and be my sponsor. They can pay me in Coke.

That is so sweet. The attention to detail with the notches... you can't fake stuff like that. Bravo.

one of the most intricate tan lines i've ever seen.

i'm interested in that thumbtack's story

From SlowJoe on Fri, May 29, 2015 at 20:16:52 from 104.51.208.13

Was my whole body that white a couple months ago? I guess so..

Allie - it's a long, pointless story - you're better off not knowing.

From Burt on Sat, May 30, 2015 at 11:40:31 from 184.101.118.180

Pointless. Classic. Are you sure those aren't dirt lines from running on a dirt track?

From Tom K on Sat, May 30, 2015 at 15:40:43 from 174.58.54.215

I used to rock a sweet v-shaped tan line on my feet from flip flops, but then I gave up fishing as a hobby. Not quite as detailed as this though. Pretty cool.

From SlowJoe on Mon, Jun 01, 2015 at 18:15:10 from 104.51.208.13

Burt - no active ovals here that I know of.

Thanks Tom - I'm considering wearing my Garmin to the pool / water park this year to preserve it.
