I got out for an early afternoon run after the rain in the morning. It was still cloudy and cool. I ran my elementary school loop in 21:59 (7:20/mile). My legs felt good today, and I was surprised at the time when I finished. I didn't feel like I was going any faster than last time.

I decided to do a rare morning run before it got ridiculously hot and into the heat advisory for today. It was still super humid. My legs felt good on my Walgreens-Wabash short loop in 24:23 (7:37/mile). I ran about a block with my youngest and then walked a few more blocks for about 0.75 total with her.

I ran 0.3 with my girls. Then I ran another 0.7 with my oldest. I ran 1.6 miles on my own in 12:40 after that. It was an evening run just as the sun went down because that was the first chance we got to do it. It was still super hot and humid, but my legs felt fine.

About three miles total. I ran some with my oldest in the afternoon first. Then I ran a little with my youngest with some walking, and I finished with a little extra by myself. The kids started school yesterday, so I got some extra walking in taking them to school and picking them up.
