After what turned into quite an extensive weekend roadtrip, I figured I might as well make one more pitstop on the way home to get a run in at Lake Junaleska in Waynesville. Beautiful 8 miler, plus 8x15sec hill sprints afterwards. Gotta love Junaleska!

Mile warm up, 8.2 mile tempo, .8 mile cool down. This was such a great tempo!! Best of the summer! Still don't have my gps watch, but I did it at the rec so I could know my distance on the loops and divide that with my time to get my pace, which worked out to be about 7:14 per mile assuming the distance they say the loops are is accurate. Anyways, I just felt really strong and fast and never too tired or too ready for it to be over. Workouts like these remind me why I love running.

AM- 8 miles. Started in Webster and ran down to and around the high school, threw in an Ashe Loop, then back up and around Webster for another mile or two. Feels nice out!

PM- well shoot, ended up in Cashiers all evening so didn't get a second run in.

Started out running loops at the rec, but I only got about 3 and a half miles in before I ended up running inside to the treadmill (twas quite toasty out) to finish to 10. Did abs and lifted afterwards, mostly legs today.

13 around Cullowhee, mostly Western though, at an easy 8:21 pace. Felt great, enjoyed every bit of it! Well, till about mile 11 and my feet started hurting pretty bad. Turns out I also had a bad blood blister. Can't wait to go ahead and get my new shoes and socks on our way to the beach tomorrow!

Left for the beach at like 5am this morning so didn't have any time to run of course. Did a bit of a pool workout in the evening when we finally got to our condo! But more importantly, finally got my new shoes! Had intentions of getting the Pegasus 32's but ended up walking out with the 31's, kind of a long story. Still super excited to try them out tomorrow morning!
