Believe in yourself, and you just never know...

Very short recovery run as my legs didn’t feel too good.  Better than nothing though ;o).

Easy run around the streets of Austin. Stopped into campus to grab some water half way round. Felt good.

Core workout again today.  Warm up then lots of core fun (step ups, crunches, lunges, jumps, pushups etc) followed by some jumping exercise and then handball?!?!....yes…seems a bit strange, but helped to loosen us up a little.  Alex then talked me into going back the long way…why do I do this to myself.  Oh well good mileage in the end.

More than half way towards my weekly target.  Easy run today, which is just as well as I am achy from the core workout yesterday.  Tomorrow is a tempo…let’s see how the legs handle the fifth day in a row…

4 miles easy then 3 miles faster with a 1 mile cool down to the gym.  Wanted to go faster, but it was very hot and very humid.

Wow it was nasty this morning...at least for the first hour.  Then there was a breeze to keep us cool on the homeward miles.  I decided to opt for the 12 mile loop as I was feeling so rough after the first few miles.  However, by the end I actually felt relatively ok.  Pace was slow...8:25 or thereabouts...but I survived, and it won't get much worse.  How bad was it...it was 80 degrees at the start...and 85% humidity....yuck!
