Planned 14 this morning. Didn't get there. Didn't feel good, 91% humidity, no breeze, and twisted my ankle going under the Rogers overpass. I was more than happy to shut down there. I'd hate to think how much I would have dragged through work if I'd done the extra 4.8 miles... Just one of those bad runs. I'm sure 25 degrees cooler on Saturday in Cordova will feel much, much better.

Another stoopid humid morning at Ben Geren with Tracey, Flashley and Myra. Ran 3+ with them and then another 2+ faster alone. And I found a $5 bill on the parking lot with no cars for 100 yards in any direction.

Guilty of sluggishness yesterday and got very little accomplished, zero from a running standpoint. Today, up at COC to go get my hug from Sheri and then meet Tiffany for a not-so-easy 6. She pushed the pace as usual and my efforts to dial her back were not successful. But I guess it was good to shake the kinks out, especially since I blew off speedwork yesterday. In 24 hours we'll be in Dallas on the way to Alaska. In 33 hours we'll be IN Alaska. Wow.

Ugh. Gravel for 15 miles = IT band trouble for 26 miles. 47 minute positive split. But I finished, I wasn't DAL, I broke 5 hours and I'm now a Marathon Maniac. And I will never run three marathons in 90 days again.
