Ran in the afternoon while the girls were out on some errands.  It was very warm (85) and humid. Because of this I just took it easy. I didn't wear the watch so no idea on the pace.  I felt good and was glad to get out after missing a couple of days.  I had to go out of town for my nephew's graduation and it was a quick trip.  I didn't run because I was trying to visit with the family.  Hoping that this week I can get back to a full schedule but it will probably be running and biking but want to make sure I do something everyday.  I have to get back in the routine.

It was a very warm morning (80) today and the humidity is getting high.  I started off easy and gradually picked up the pace.  I didn't run with my watch again today so not sure how fast but just trying to run how I felt.  I can feel the body starting to get back in shape but still have a long way to go.

Another hot and humid morning.  It was around 80 with a light wind.  I felt kind of tired this morning so started off extra easy and finally got moving good after about 1/2 mile.  The hot weather was getting to me so I kept it pretty easy.  I didn't have the watch on so not sure of the pace but it was definitely easy.  Just glad to get a couple of days back to back.  I have an early meeting tomorrow so will probably have to run on the TM later in the day because of the temp.

It was a little cooler this morning (73) but still pretty warm.  I felt good this morning but still started out easy and picked up from there.  I wore the watch today and did the first half of the run at 8:30 pace and the last half at 8:00.  It felt good to run a little faster toward the end.  It was a good run and the foot is feeling great.  Hope it stays that way.  Now just need to get back into the routine.  It is harder than I thought to readjust my schedule for running everyday.  I am getting closer but still having to changes some things with work.

Still warm and humid (76) this morning.  I felt tired and sluggish this morning.  We had a Birthday party for my daughter last night so was up pretty late.  Because of this just took it easy this morning.  I was glad to get the run in and just keep building up the miles.  My weekly mileage is about half of where I want to be when I get back to normal. Finally starting to feel like I am making some progress.
