It was a little cooler, less humid, and more wind today. It was a welcome change. I did my extended elementary school loop for a total of 5. My right ankle and leg were bothering me a little bit today.

It was another hot, humid day. My right knee and ankle were hurting a little bit today. I ran my housing school loop plus.

Still hot and humid. My left knee and foot were bothering me again. I think the knee may be related to hitting it a couple weeks back. I'm not sure what is wrong with my foot. It is sore around the ankle a little bit but mostly across the top of my foot. I also felt tired today and most of the week. My legs just didn't want to go. I ran along the trail to the power station and back.

Heat index was dangerously high today, and I didn't get out early enough. I wasn't really too motivated to run either. I did some other exercises inside in the afternoon.

I felt much better today in terms of energy. My knee and foot also felt fine. I could tell that they weren't perfect, but it wasn't hurting the entire run like last time. I ran my housing-school loop plus for 5 miles. I'm thinking of doing a local race in July. I'll see how my training is going in the next week or so.
