It sure was hot today!  I ran in the early evening, and it was still hot.  I just did 6 today and the legs felt okay.  Total time was 43:18 (7:13/mile).

Started out with Sasha, Jeff, and Tyler.  Sasha and Jeff turned around after 2 to start their 3 mile tempo run.  Tyler and I continued on to 4 and then turned around.  The left knee and ankles were a bit achy to start, but they loosened up.  I also still have some soreness in my hamstrings.  Total time was 64:04 (8:00/mile) for 8 miles.

No real mileage besides a few small jogs to the car, to catch a light, etc.  I did walk home from school which is about 2 miles.

I ran this morning with Sasha, Jeff and Tyler.  We started out slow and then did a "fat" mile in 5:59.  It felt pretty good.  We all continued to the end of the trail where Jeff and Sasha started their tempo, and Tyler and I finished 8 miles.  Total time was 60:55 (7:37/mile).  There was an interesting guy on the trail.  He was pretty friendly and did various things as we passed.  Check out Sasha's blog for the full story.

I ran home from school most of the way with my backpack on.  I think I deserve extra mileage for the added weight, but I'll stick with ~1.5.
