| My afternoon plans for a long, hot run were cut short when, out of nowhere, a thunderstorm rolled through and settled over West Little Rock for the better part of 2 hours. I ended up running right at 7 Miles at 7:34/mile, an easy pace, but pretty tough given the 100+ degree heat and stiff humidity. And goodness knows I finished fast after seeing that first streak of lightning, which was much too close for comfort. Taking advantage of the afternoon with my kids. We're heading to the "Jump Zone" shortly. I love the place. Wesley |

13 Miles on the treamill set to 1.0, including the following:
4 Miles at 7:30/mile (warm-up);
4 Miles at 7:13/mile;
3 Miles at 6:58/mile; and
2 Miles at 7:45/mile (cool-down), including two striders.
Legs pretty fatigued today; looking forward to either a day-off or a VERY easy run tomorrow.

9 Miles on treadmill, including the following:
2 Miles at 7:13/mile;
2 Miles at 6:58/mile;
3 Miles at 6:31/mile; and
2 Miles Easy to cool down.
Terrible gastrointestinal issues today; my kids have a bug, so I'm thinking I could have picked something up from them. To that end, I felt a little fatigued after getting up a couple of times with my daughter, Sophie, who has been battling her own tummy issues for a couple of days. More generally, however, it's hard to argue that I need to take a look at my diet and fueling as I begin building up my mileage for another round of training.

8 Mile out-and-back loop on Hwy. 171 near my parents' home between Malvern and Hot Springs, Arkansas. And what a beutiful morning! After thunderstorms and showers throughout the week, the temperature was hovering around 75 degrees when I started my run at 8:00 am (slept in and ate with breakfast with my kids). And it was just the boost I needed. Consider my splits below:
0.25 Mile warm-up;
2 Miles at 7:15/mile;
2 Miles at 6:35/mile (gradual downhill);
2 Miles at 6:55/mile (gradual uphill);
2 Miles at 6:35/mile; and
0.25 Mile cool down.

6.5 Miles with my Dad on Hwy. 171 near my parents' home between Malvern and Hot Springs, Arkansas. Nice, mid-day run (extremely unusual for my Dad to run this late in the day); despite the humidity, the light rain and cloud coverage held the temperature down to a manageable level.
