Hill workout, in front of my house. Very humid. Felt very sluggish. Cut it short, and went in, showered and climbed back in bed, so the kids could deliver breakfast in bed! (my wife is amazing). Got a new scrapbook to keep all my race bibs, and photos in (my other one is full).It was a great Fathers' Day!

Ran with Eric and Darin at lunch....outside. 94 degrees. It was slow, but we survived. I need to start thinking of a plan for getting in the miles I need to go for 3:15 at SGM in October. Times flying by...but my mileage is lacking. 

AP: 7:54

Met at 7:15 AM with Darin, Eric, and Jo.

Was supposed to be 3 x 1 mile repeats. Not sure why, but after the first mile, I was barely able to finish the 2nd two. HR seemed a little high for most of the day. Possibly dehydrated? Coming down with something? Maybe time for another rest day?

1 mile jog: 8:36

6:29, 7:11, 8:30? (forgot to start watch)

Met w/ Darin, Eric, and Jo at 7:15. 83 degrees, no wind.

Jogged to our hill. Did a set of 7 repeats (fast up, jog down - hill is about .15 miles long). I felt tons better than I did on Tuesday...even though the weather was about the same.
