AM long run - 70 degrees and overcast - decent weather.  Feel okay after a hrad effort yesterday.  20 mi. in 2:32:46.  Felt comfortable and easy until about 17 miles at 7:30 pace.  Ate a couple gels and had some sports drink throughout.  New Ravenna 5's are awesome.

PM: easy 3.85 miles home from Walmart - 30:30.  Left my car there to have valve stem replaced.  Again, they surprise me and tell me there is nothing wrong iwth the tire whatsoever and were able to put air in it.  Fun little course home through an active construction zone - reconstruct/realign of Carr Hill Dr.

AM easy run around the neighborhood before work.  Dark skies with a lot of heat lightning made for a cool little jog this morning. 5.09 mi. - 44:52

PM: Track Tuesday - big group, warm weather, kids on infield for football practice sitting in lane 1.  workout was 12x300m @ mile pace w/ 100m rec. jog.  At 5:00/mile pace, this workout became difficult quickly after rep 7 - 59, 59, 59, 57, 57, 57, 60, 60, 59, 61, 62, 62.  The short jogging rest made these tough.  Hot, humid, and sunny was a big difference from this morning's weather.

AM Sunrise Shakout - 4 mi. easy before work this morning - about 8:30 pace.  Biometric Screening today at work, so no breakfast (coffee) til after that :(  Wow - all the vitals look good.  Blood Pressure and cholesterol are even good.

PM - easy run over to Mill Race Park the long way - met the wife and kid for some swing time at the playground.  6.44 mi. - 51:04

4:30am Long run - easy pace and the temp is in the 50s.  Dark most of the way and the County has decided to chip seal the roads (seemed like every road along my route), so loose gravel everywhere.  Even with headlamp on super bright mode this morning, cars seemed to be having trouble spotting me until they were pretty close.  Got alittle scary a couple times.

Had to duck in to a more sparsely populated area of a corn field for a pit stop - gross, but necessary.  20 mi. - 2:36:17.  Still noticing a couple nagging spots, mostly on left leg.  Stopped at Walmart for some nanas and protein drink.  The cup pot of coffee I'm drinking at work is wonderful this morning.

AM: 5k race on Brown County XC course - cool trail with 1k's marked.  Having never run cross before, this was a fun experience.  solid effort and time on some root infested turning paths through the woods - 18:19 for 5k.  pretty even splits.  easy trail running with Quaff guys afterward - about 10 miles or so.
