Stroller pushin in Texas

9 miles on the TM.

2 mile warm up followed by 7 yasso 800's @ 6:18 pace.  The Yasso's did my legs in.

Lifted arms and legs a bit. 

6 miles around the base.  It was already 82 degrees and really hot at 7:30.  Legs super tired.  

High of 108 today!  

6 more miles on the TM.  I wanted to go further but no way was that going to happen.  I was so dang hot! 

It's just too hot around here!!!!  Started running and at 2.5 I had to stop and walk... Just then Col. Peters (fast old running man) saw me in his car and pulled over.  He was laughing so hard at me and said, "I really like your pace, you sure are going fast!"  He is just full of sarcasm.  Anyway, at least I started running again after I saw him.

I got to the gym after 4 miles and I needed a drink.  I guess a big drink because I sat at the fountain gulping the water.  I was dripping everywhere, I was such a mess.  Ran 5 miles on a TM next to a mom I chatted with the whole time.  It felt so nice to run next to someone just talking about stuff, it made the time fly by a lot faster.

Ran 1 mile home and guzzled Gatorade until I had a massive belly ache.  Running doesn't feel to great as of lately. 

My 10 miler turned into a 7 miler this morning due to a lame-o faced left knee!  I hit 7 miles, stopped and my knee had no more to be had!

7 miles around the base. Knee felt so much better.  I have no idea why my knee had an extreme phantom pain yesterday.

I took my nice water bottle and planted it by the West gate entry of the base.  By the time I reached mile 4, my bottle was gone!  The only people that had driven by were Security Forces.  They really took my nice water bottle, really?  They are out to get me.  No music, and now no water?  They are just keepin' the base a safe place I guess.

Last 3 miles were with Marshelle.  I was so excited to run with someone I kept going faster.  She probably thought I was nuts. 

Great 20 miler this morning.  There was a cool breeze and a little bit of an overcast.

First 10 miles rocked.  I stopped three time (quickly) to Gatorade (2x) and GU (1x).  

Picked up David and my pace felt like it fell, but it didn't.  Going West nearly killed me over and I kept stopping to cool down, it was frustrating.

Got home and stood in my kitchen for about 10 min to cool down and chew on ice.  (mile 17)

Went out and did the remainder 3.  

Good times, happy that is over!  8:10-8:20 AP.

3 shirt changes today.
