I stole this from Tom's blog because I really like it:
Hudson tidbit: "When it's done right, the long-term training process is like an asymptote. The line that the training process moves toward but never reaches is 'perfect training'.....while it's impossible to train perfectly, it is possible to train better and better." Favorite Blogs: |

9:40 pace
It was already hot at 7:30am when I started. I did not want to run because I knew it was just going to get hotter the whole time, and it did. By mile 2, I wanted to quit, but I just made myself keep going at an easy pace. I found a shady street and went back and forth on it. I'm glad I made it the whole 8. Now, I'm going to the beach to take a nap and work on my tan. :) |

| | This run puts me over 200 miles for the month!! I didn't look at the time during the whole run. I decided to see what pace I would do without knowing. I ran a comfortable pace for the first part and then picked it up at the end. And I was shocked to realize how SLOW I ran it. I averaged 10:50 a mile. What a slow poke! Oh well. Other than that, it was a nice run. |

I didn't run yesterday, but both Monday and today I had a hard time running under 10 minute miles. I was really wondering what was wrong with me. Then after about the 4th time clearing my throat mid run, it occurred to me that I shouldn't have been ignoring the apocalyptic-looking sky and sun; they were warning me that the air quality is not good due to the fires burning around LA. Maybe less oxygen in the air is actually affecting my pace. Hmmmmmm. |

| | I did the exact same run I did yesterday, down at Huntington Beach. Today I did it at noon in the heat of the day and it took a couple minutes longer: 1:33 total. Also, I ran into a kid (literally) on a bike who turned in front of me at the last second. I hurt my hamstring a little from stopping so suddenly but kept running. The kid was fine, by the way. |
