The last couple of days have been crazy with work, family, etc.  I hate that I didn't get any running in but I guess sometimes life gets in the way.  This has been a weird summer of running.  I just can't seem to string together a good stretch of running.  Hopefully things will settle down soon and I will get back into a normal routine.  This morning it was cooler but still humid.  I felt good and just ran easy.  Nothing special just glad to get out again.

PM:  28 mile bike ride with Kris.  It was a casual pace and we talked alot.  Turned out to be a great day with temps in the low 80's.

Darn work! Don't those people know that our running should come first, to heck with deadlines and schedules!

Hope things calm down soon and you can get back on schedule. When my work was crazy in May it just happened to be when I was hurt and couldn't run, one of the few positives of the injury phase.

I hear you. It would be so much easier to train if I didn't have to deal with this work stuff. Also, having two teenage daughters is keeping me busy. I'm sure you can relate to that.
