Philadelphia, PA: Warm (79) and humid this morning.  Just ran easy but felt pretty good.  Kind of tired from all of the travel but glad to get outside and get a few miles in.  Trying to get back into a normal routine but the travel is making it difficult to get any workouts in.

Philadelphia, PA: It was warm (77) and humid this morning.  Felt good and just took it easy. Was soaked with sweat when I finished.  Looking forward to a break in the humidity.

Philadelphia, PA: Warm (72) and humid again this morning.  Wanted to run a 4 mile tempo this morning.  Ran a couple of miles warm up then started.  From the start I didn't have it today.  My legs just felt like lead and couldn't get going.  Decided to bring the pace down some and at least get some faster running in.  Managed 3 miles in 6:53, 6:53, 6:54.  Not bad but not where I want to be.  Just assume the heat and running around the last fews days has taken something out of me.

Philadelphia, PA:  Been working this week and have the family with me so doing site seeing with them so it has been hard to get my running in.  Got a few miles in before we went to dinner.  Felt good and ran easy.  It was a nice with temps in the 70's.

Back home from a lot of traveling around.  I had a great time with my family on a business trip but it didn't leave much time for running.  Also, picked up my oldest daughter at New York from here missions trip then drove home so missed running yesterday.  

Got back around 6:00 and it was absolutely beautiful day so got out for a run.  Felt really good (probably from the low mileage week).  After about 3 miles decided to do a progression run and see how it went.  I hated to waste a day when I felt this good.  Ran the last 4 miles in 7:15, 7:01, 6:45, 6:32.  Felt really good to push it some. Hopefully, I can get back to a normal schedule and get my mileage back to where it needs to be.
