| Tried running along side my 6-yearold while he rode his bike...this works great on the downhill and flat sections, but uphill, not so much. I ended up having to push him and his bike up all the hills. As it was about 95 degrees out at the time...we cut the workout short at 2 miles. We might try it again somewhere flat... :) |

| Lunchtime run w/ Darin. 90F, 52% humidity, 5 MPH breeze, cloudless.
Today I convinced Darin to take a detour to the golf course rest area to get drench ourselves with some water -- and drink a few gulps. I think it made a big difference.. but still lost 3 pounds on this run. AP: 7:48 AHR: 146 BPM MAX HR: 165 7:50 132bpm 7:48 140 bpm 7:52 143 bpm 7:44 146 bpm 7:53 156 bpm 7:31 160 bpm

| Met Jo at 6:45 AM at work. Ran 2 warmup, then 3 Tempo (tempo with Jo is only slightly faster than average miles with Darin). It was drizzling with a slight breeze. 75F. This was 10 straight days of running for me...I was dragging at the end, maybe it is time for a rest. (Maybe I'll only do a couple on Friday and prepare for a 20 miler on Saturday)

| Was going to rest today, but when Darin asked to run at lunchtime, I couldn't refuse. It felt much better today than yesterday.

As I drove to the trailhead today I was shocked to see my thermometer in my car drop to about 59F. WOWWW! It was almost chilly..
Ran the 10.5 miles from Weatherford to Garner. Saw lots of runners finishing their runs..that's strange, the trail opens at sunrise, and it was only about 10 minutes after sunrise.
Though the weather was excellent, I wasn't feeling all that great...I really shouldn't have eaten the 2 Jr bacon cheeseburgers, large order of stuffed jalapeno peppers on my way home from work at 8PM last night. And I REALLY shouldn't have had the chips and salsa, and chocolate chip cookies while working on the computer until midnight, either. The Tums I took before the run seemed to help a lot. (I will not repeat this pre-longrun routine again).
The 2nd half of the run felt better than the first. At the turnaround (Garner store) I bought a 20oz Sobe Energy, and drank it down in about 30 seconds. By then the sun was getting high and no clouds in the sky. By the time I finished, it was 80 degrees, but felt great! Really loved the cooler temperature!
Consumed: 1 Honey Stinger gel, 2 Jolly ranchers, 1 12 oz bottle of water, 6 oz Powerade, 20oz Sobe Energy drink
