Was up super late last night watching fireworks and hanging out with friends and slept later than planned.  It was hot, humid and sunny when I got out (82 with light wind).  I felt pretty good running but the heat started to get to me around 5 miles and I just took it easy the whole way.  If the weather had been better I would have ran much faster because I was feeling good.  I hope everyone had a great 4th of July.  My family sure did!

Went to King's Island amusement park with my daughter and church youth group.  It was a full day from 7 am and didn't get back until almost 1 am.  It was a lot of fun but really hot.

I had an early morning meeting and was tired from getting in late last night so ran during my lunch break.  Since I was running at lunch and it was 90 out I ran on the TM.  I only had enough time to get in 6 miles.  I was pretty sluggish today.  Probably from all the walking around in the heat yesterday plus the long night.  I felt a little better toward the end.  Looking forward to getting some rest and back in the routine.

Hot and humid morning today (79).  I was sluggish getting going this morning.  My schedule has been really inconsistent lately so I think that is part of the problem.  I ran easy for about 4 miles then did 8 x 1:00 at tempo pace with 1:00 rest.  Nothing special on this run just trying to get the legs used to running fast again.  Plan to work up to regular tempo runs over the next couple of weeks.

PM:  It was raining and storming tonight so ran inside on the TM.  I felt good tonight so I picked up the pace as I went along and ran the last 2 miles around MP of 7:10 per mile.  Really would have perferred to be outside but good to get in some extra miles.

Yesterday I got busy with work and then getting everything ready to leave for vacation and didn't get a run in.  This morning I got out before our flight for a few miles. It was cooler and a nice run.  Left the watch at home and just ran how I felt.  Good run.
