3rd day of running in a row. Did 6 out and back at about 8:30 pace, then met Ty at 7:30AM at the trailhead and did another 6 miles. I was going to go back out for another couple miles, but noticed blood in my urine, so I headed home a bit worried, and have been drinking lots of water to flush my system. This has never happened to me before, so I'm a bit concerned. If it's still there this evening, I'll head to the doctor tomorrow.
UPDATE: Well, after about 4 hours of relaxing and drinking water and OJ, things seem to be back to normal! I'll continue to hydrate, and be sure to replace my electrolytes...I'll keep an eye on things, but I'm a bit relieved (so to speak).

Run w/ Darin before work. I felt a bit sluggish, even though yesterday was a rest day. The continuous string of 100+ degree days is getting old..we surpassed the 2nd place record with 31 consecutive days over 100 degrees at DFW. The all-time record is 69...we probably have shot at that one. Overnight lows are around 82-85 now..yes, I'm complaining...I think this year will be my last Fall marathon, as long as I'm still living in Texas...it's just too hot for training..yes, I'm a wimp...give me 50s and 60s, and I'm happy! :)

Ran w/ Darin before work. Normally, we've been stopping at 5.00 miles, then walking the remaining .3 miles back to Darin's house. Today we ran the entire thing--which includes a bit of an incline. It's still hot...only minor hip pain today (ITB or something that's been nagging me for a few months)

| Met Jo and Darin at the trail, again. Ran the first 6 mile loop with Jo and Darin (10:08 AP). Jo had to leave, so ran the next 6 mile loop with Darin (AP: 9:11). I took a rest day yesterday, and made sure I was plenty hydrated. No problems and we all felt good today. I'm seriously thinking of running a trail race in the fall -- I should be used to the ups, down, root, rocks, and sand by then. Ran a 1 mile cooldown at Darin's house..to get 40 miles for the week (my first 40 mile week in a long time!!).
