| Lacking motivation and gumption the good Lord gave me a morning of 56º to run in. That made me very happy. Should be a cool front coming through this week - no better time for me to get back into the swing of things. Someone out there tell me to stop making excuses!

| AM- 63º Nice, Easy run. As I ran through the neighboorhood I explored some new areas. Went by a house and saw something small and black move. I jumped as it startled me. It was a Roomba for the Lawn. Whisper quite battery powered lawn mower, with no operator. I want one.
PM- 82º Hot and wet. Slow.

| AM- 69º and Sunny/Humid. Just running some base miles on some decent rolling hills. Although at 2 points my competitve side takes over. at mile 3 I could see a guy way in the distance. It looked like he was doing the same pace and I dont think I sped up. I mean I wasnt feeling it, I just wanted to get miles. By 3.5 he was clearly closer. Passed at 4. It wasnt even a he, but a she. Then I realized I did speed up and promptly slowed back down. Same thing at mile 13. I am not sure why I even felt the need to pass someone, but did.
Anway post run eggs I made were on point.

| AM- 72º/98% and sticky. Quads are sore, but again happy to be done with the work week. Have some yard work to get done, but should be a good weekend. Easy miles w/13x20s striders in to try an loosen the legs up. My daughter did her theater tryouts today. Singing and her monologue. She did the bit from the Princess Bride and where is the poison. Nailed it. I was pretty proud.

| AM- 70º/99% and just kinda gross. It is mornings like these that I am not sure how anyone could believe scientist who preach global warming, global cooling, or the Earth will be like ___ in 100 years. Hear me out... I went to bed last night around 10:30 and the forecast was 64 with rain from 6am-11am, possible thunderstorm. OK not to bad for an August long run. I wake up around 5:30. It is already 68 and climbing. Hmmm. I noticed it started to rain while I was making my coffee and it stopped 2 minutes later. I get ready to run and check the weather. 70, and rain is all cancelled. The silver lining is it would overcast until about 2pm and then mostly cloudy. No visor. 7 miles into my run and it is ALL SUNSHINE. It got partly cloudy around mile 16 but still... you can't get the weather right an hour ahead of time and you want to tell me the weather on the Earth will be 50 years from now? Hogwash.
Anyway, took it nice and easy. Was going for something between 18-20 and I just did not want to sweat more for 20.

| Another hot/wet day, but cooler weather in a few days! 72º/95% Easy run with soaked clothes. Eclipse was fun, had glasses for the fam. Neat to be a part of it. We had 90% coverage and just neat to see.

| AM- 75º Humidity down Rhett! Down to 82%. So it took a full mile before I was drenched in sweat lol Eh its all good. Sometimes I think I need someone to cut off my shirt when I am done. Good deal. Much cooler weather coming in tonight :)

| AM- 60º Cooler mornings arrived just in time. Ran 'the classic' today. 10 mile warm up follow by 6x3 min intervals w/ 2 min active recoveries. It has been awhile since I ran these and I could feel it. Heading to a busy day at work and my legs are already letting me know they hate me. I am not sure the occasion, but instead of the normal one or two old people out walking their dogs, I must have seen 8-10. I thought about grabbing one, but they probably would have shown me up during the run.

| AM- I think Tom is right, cooler weather is just pure motivation. Still building my base. 20 Miles - I ran every 5th mile fast. So mile 5 7:24 Mile 10 7:14 Mile 15 7:03 Mile 20 6:56 Everything in between just steady running. Ran from Fishburg, to Kittyhawk golf course, to Island park, to Riverscape and back. They have better bathrooms at Island and a splash park. I am almost always to early to hit the splash park and cool off. However the sign is... odd? funny? 1st rule is do not use if you have diarrhea
AF marathon (I am not running that one this year) is in 3 weeks. LOTS of crammers out today. You can just tell those who are fine tuning and those out there just hanging on for dear life and they just realized what they signed up for. Also passed some rowing teams in the river.

| AM- 61º Great morning for a pre-sunrise run. Time for mile repeats. 2 Mile warm up then 6x1 mile repeats with 1/4 mile recoveries. I am not the best at these for whatever reason, but other than the mile I ran up a 3% grade hill the repeats averaged in the high 6's. For me, I'll take it!
Quick day of work then heading out on a vaca through labor day. Need some time away from work. I need a step back week before the weeks of doubles begin running wise.
