Drove from Chicago to Stillwater, OK yesterday. (750 miles)
Ran around the OSU campus area. It was already 82F, 20-30mph wind (which felt pretty good) and very humid. A lot different than the nice weather I had experienced while in Illinois. I can handle 80's without the humidity. Walked a few times. Ran 3 miles in the the middle at AP 7:20, but the rest of the miles were in the 8:00-9:00 range. Really looking forward to Fall! :-)
Should be back home later today (another 250 miles of driving..oh, joy..) |

| I paid the price for sleeping in today...I had to run at lunchtime! 85F, partly cloudy, 60% humidity. I ran with Darin today. It was much better than the run I had with him a few weeks ago..at least for me. I finished the 6 miler with 2 miles around 7:10, and my HR wasn't too high. I think I hydrated correctly today. Darin was struggling a little -- he wasn't his normal speedy self. I managed to only lose 3 pounds of water weight in 6 miles.

| short workout on the treadmill at lunch. Hardly worth changing for...decided I would rather eat than run. Thought I might find time to get a few more miles in after work...but decide to mow the "dust bowl" instead. Tomorrow will be a better day for running. |

Woohooo! 3 days of running in a row. Got a late start this morning...out the door at 7:20AM for a solo 6 miler. It was already about 80F -- but I'm not complaining. (according to my Aug 2009 Runners World, I can expect to lose 20-30 seconds per mile for every 5 degrees above 60. So, I figure my 8:00/mi workouts will become 6:00/mi workouts when the temp gets down to about 60..got that going for me!) 6 miles -- good hills in the middle. AP: 8:05 Round 2 - because I worked from home today, I had a little extra time after work (I didn't have to commute the 37 miles..each way), so I did another 2.5 miles of hills before dinner. It's funny, it was 92 degrees (about 10 degrees warmer than this morning) but I felt a lot less sluggish, and enjoyed it more..was still humid (the puddle at the dinner table can attest to that...I know TMI, and I should have showered first..also, not to self, get more running clothes so you don't have to dig sweaty ones out of the laundry when you decide to run more than 3 times in one week!!!)

| Kept the string alive..4th day of running in a row. Noticing that I haven't even averaged 100 miles per month for the year, so I'm making up some miles as I approach SGM. Ran (though I use the term loosely) 8 miles at lunch. I was fooled by the cloud cover and 82F temps...as soon as I got a couple miles from home, the clouds disappeared, and I could feel the steam coming off the pavement from this morning's rain. Even with some walking I still managed 8:20/mi. Not great, but it was 8! |

It was nice and cool this morning (low 70's), too bad I couldn't run because my wife was in Dallas for a conference and I had the boys to watch...so I did some cross training, in the form of 3 hours of lawnmowing and weedwacking :)
My run had to wait until this evening (when my wife returned). Went to the rail trail which closes at sunset. I only had about 1 1/2 hours of daylight. I went out 4 miles, then turned around...I decided to run the last 4 miles fast. As I had forgotten my Garmin, I really don't know how fast I was running.
As I was driving home I thought I was close to 50 miles for the week, so I stopped at the local HS track and ran another 2 miles in the dark...I guess I wasn't quite as close as I had thought...a couple miles shy...I'll go for 50 next week! :) |
