Got out and ran my longest run since Steamboat marathon. It was a nice break in the hot weather. Temperature was about 75 when I started, getting to about 80. It was very humid (as it had just finished raining). Not bad. Hopefully, I'll get in a 40 mile week this week. Planning to get up and run 7.7 on 7/7 with my buddies tomorrow.

Met at 7:07 on 7/7 and ran 7.77 miles! :-) (Smooth are 7's lucky numbers?) I'm pretty sure the temperature was about 77. (at least the humidity wasn't 77%)

Ran 1 mile warmup, 3 tempo miles, then a nice easy jog for the last 3.77.

Got up at 4:20...AM. Drove to Colleyville to run with a group from Luke's Locker running store. Saw quite a few old friends. Ran with Julie for the last 6.5 miles (I started a little later than her and the "green" group). It was nice seeing all the people out there training for the various halfs and fulls -- all different abilities. The weather was quite pleasant..about 82, not so bad humidity, and a light breeze.
