Weather - 86 degrees, sunny, humid.

High humidity today, it felt amazing on the Busey Woods loop - I could feel the heat emanate from the tall grass which borders the pathway - it felt really good.

Legs are now 85% recovered, and my foot seemed 99%, just a slight twinge now and again. I ran 2.5 miles at 6:45-7:00 pace, it felt great to have some strength back in the legs.

Afterward 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home.

Glad to hear that your foot is feeling better.

Thanks, Jim.

Considering that you ran your highest monthly mileage in July, that may explain why some of the days toward the end of the month had been up and down. Nice work, and keep it up in August.

I think you are probably right. The hot/humid weather is not good to me but you seem to be able to run right through it. I need to learn your secret.
