New route today.  Didn’t wake up in time so had to run after work.  It was VERY hot, but also very dry so it didn’t seem too bad.  Ran to the Hancock Golf course then ran 5 laps before heading home.  The path is mainly crushed granite, but there is a 200 yard stretch that is a little more technical as you go up a steady climb on a uneven and sometimes rocky path.  I had to be mindful of where I put my feet as I was wearing the vibrams.

Warm up then core fun.  We did 4 x 2 laps on the grass followed by 10 step ups on each leg, 20 crunches, 10 push ups, 10 lunges each leg, then bounding up the hill.  After that we did some “fun” balance exercises, which my thighs and ankles agree weren’t actually that fun ;o).  After that I did a 3 ½ mile cool down.

A bit achy this morning, but I made it out and got some miles in.  Wish it could have been more, but hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Pretty warm and humid this morning.  Started out very easy for the first few miles.  Tackled Mount Bonnell, and then back up Scenic.  Legs felt good until the final couple of miles when dehydration started to set in.  Overall pace around 8:15.
