Met Ty at the trailhead at 5PM. The car said 100 degrees on the nose. Rode to the lake, cooled off, then rode back. This week was much easier than last week. I think that with the sun lower in the sky, the distance between shade spots (my friends) was a little less. Didn't seem quite so brutal this week. And there were a few clouds that helped.

Finished reading Dean Karnaze's book. Some pretty cool stuff in there. He's just a little too gung-ho for me and my lifestyle. I probably won't be running a marathon to the south pole, or running a 200 mile Relay by myself anytime soon. :)

I haven't run in over 2 weeks. I think I'll try easing into it again sometime this week.

100F at 5PM

95F at 7:45 when we finished.

Couldn't sleep, so decided to give running a try. Temps are much more agreeable at 4AM. 80F, not much wind. I drove into work, so I could run the mile loop -- which is mostly lighted. Managed 7 miles..with a little walking in there.

After the run, I slept in my car for about an hour, then went in and showered. Ankle was a little tender -- it might just be from sleeping in the car!

Ran 3 easy miles with Jo and Darin. Jo's knee was bothering her, so I volunteered to walk the last mile with her. (My achille's is still bothering me, but I think it always will). While we were running our AP was about 8:00. After walking the last mile, it dropped to 10:00.
