Finally back home after a incredible history trip. I lead my youth group every year on a week+ long trip on the Christian foundations of our country. This year was Virgina with stops at Mount Vernon, Monticello, St Johns Church, Yorktown and Williamsburg. Weather was brtually hot with 90's all week and 99 Thursday and 100 Friday. I ran very little, but got out when I could. 

Home and back to work. AM and refreshing 66º  8+miles, time to get consistent.

AM- Wonderful 59º 8 miles. Just steady. 

PM- Not as wonderful wet 85º - Switchback trails, tough running, orange loop x2, pushed it. Good run.

AM- Nice cool 62º which was welcome relief even with the 98% humdity. Legs were just out of sync and I was rushing so I would not be late to VBS. I am mentally struggling with my running. Not getting the miles in I need and no real speedwork at all. I have to get my mind right. I have plenty of excuses with travel and work, but I can get up earlier and make it happen.
