| Today was basically a rest day...but decided to get in 2 miles after dinner to keep the streak alive! (13 days in a row, woohoo!) Oh, and I watch "17 Again" with my wife and 17-yearold daughter last night. Pretty good movie. A little "oooogie" at parts...kind of "Back to the Future"-esk. I liked it. Also rented "Marley and Me" for the boys...ooops...I saw the "G" rating, but I guess that was for the previews. Doh! I would not recommend "PG" for 5 and 6 year-old boys -- I'm hoping most of the adultish content went over their heads. |

| -- Day of Rest -- the string is broken -- was VERY busy at work, and decided to drown my sorrows at a Chinese buffet for dinner (all alone). Thinking of calling that cross-training -- I'm sure I got in some mileage..I went back up 3 or 4 times! | |

| Ran alone at lunch today. Worked too late last night to meet Jo before work. 85F, sunny, 10 MPH S wind AP: 7:28 I just read that one of Scott Z's (forumflyers) children passed away during childbirth. She was only 32. The Z's were in Peru on a mission assignment and are returning early to help with the new baby..very tragic news.

| My Garmin was being flaky today. I've had it almost 2 years -- and I'm wondering if the rechargeable battery built into this thing has come to the end of its life-expectancy. I'll charge it, it'll show "Battery Charging Complete". I'll take it off the charger..and it won't turn on. It'll still talk to my PC and download my activities, but it doesn't seem to want to turn on after I take it off the charger. Time for a google search. Ran with (or away from Darin and Eric) at lunch. We started out together. Another hot, steamy mid-80's day. We hit the first mile at 7:38 (according to Darin's Garmin..because mine wasn't working). We ended up single file to avoid traffic, and I thought I was keeping a steady pace with them behind me. I thought they slowed down..I would check on them once in a while..and they kept dropping further behind...and I thought I was doing about a 7:40/mi pace. I finished the 6 mile run about 2 minutes ahead of them..finishing in about 44 minutes. I'll give myself an AP of 7:20...but I'm really not sure. I kept thinking about Huans and his 6:11 3x1600's -- there is just no way I could do that, not right now..not with these temperatures. Maybe I'll give it a try tomorrow morning with Jo.
AP: 7:20?

5 at 5:00 with Eric. 90F, 48% humidity, Wind 10-25 S (a little like a blow dryer!)
Tummy wasn't feeling too good..had to stop at the golf course after 2 miles for a pit stop. (Eric jogged on a little and I caught up)
AP: 7:41 (yep 5 degrees hotter than yesterday, and :20 slower per mile...maybe that Runners World article was right)
Going to Houston this weekend...not sure if/when I'll get a long run in. |

| Visiting friends near Houston. Got out at about 8:00AM (and I thought it was hot and humid where I live...hah! Already a balmy 82F). Ran about 2.5 miles to a park. Lots of runners, walkers, bikers..I just love seeing other people exercising while I'm out running. My runs are usually so lonely. I didn't want to run too far..wanted to save some energy for site-seeing and playing with the kids, so only did 10. The last 2 miles were about 7:00-7:15. I'll try to get out a little earlier tomorrow morning, and maybe get in a few extra miles before spending the day at NASA then the beach at Galveston Island. |
