Thunderstorms in the middle of the night knocked out electricity, so my alarm didn't go off -- I finally got to the trail around 9AM. It was hot and humid...was a lot of work to finish 13.1.

75-85F, 80% humidity

7 miler from home. Some long hills. Good training for SGM. Felt very sluggish for the first couple miles. HR seemed a bit high for the first mile for the pace I was running. Temperature was excellent (64F).

AP: 7:51

AHR: 148 bpm

65F, no wind, 60% humidity

Met Jo and Darin before work. Darin found out that the hip pain he's been having is mild to moderate DJD (Degnerative Joint Disease), and he was told it won't get better, and to cut back on the distance and speed -- my running buddy is injured. That's a big bummer.

Jo is having knee issues.

We jogged the first 1.6 together at about 8:40 pace, then I left them, and finished 4 miles with a nice tempo run.

AP: 7:35 (8:37,8:02,6:28, 7:04)

Last 10 miler before SGM. Started out uphill into the wind. Felt sluggish, but started feeling better when I turned to a crosswind. Stopped at mile 6 at the gas station, drank a 12 Oz chocolate milk, then finished strong. The last 2 miles felt great..net downhill with the wind.
