Only could get this in the middle of the afternoon- HOT. :/ Ugh. Tomorrow things should get back to normal with work and I can catch up with blogs. Tough work week, glad it's almost done- it set me back some miles at a bad time, but I will just have to work harder.

Nice work Dan! Fifteen in the heat on a tough work week like that takes determination. Don't worry about the lost miles believe me your body will benefit more from the rest.

Wow...15 in the middle of the day, that would be a killer down here. Aren't you hitting the mid-90's up there in the middle of the day?

Glad there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Great job suffering through 15 in the heat.

Wow, fifteen in the middle of the afternoon? Too hot for me.

53 miles by Thursday is a BAD week of running????

I hope you had a big ole shake at the end of that hot run!

Ham- thanks, It is tough to motivate when work is that way. IJR- Thankfully the 90's left for a bit - it was only 88 lol (the sun was the killer). Joe- Thanks, the tunnel is here! :) Flat- I did not want a donut! Hopefully last time this summer I will do that. Kelli- you are correct, it is not bad at all, just wanted back to back big weeks - 5 weeks away! I did have a smoothie :)

From Kelli on Sat, Aug 20, 2011 at 00:38:34 from 71.219.67.82

Did your smoothie have spinach in it? Those are the best. See, I eat healthy sometimes.
