Start of another running month :) 

Weather was so so today.  I ran a little later than usual because I am off work today so me and my wife can celebrate our 20th anniversary :)

So I kicked off the day with a nice run and she is now getting up. Looking forward to a great day!

Looks like this week is creeping back up in temperature. This morning was humid and tough running. I kept my normal base pace and felt good overall, but it made me earn it that is for sure. 

Today was nice since I was able to try my first pair of Brooks Launch shoes. They have a new black color that look pretty cool. Of course, that all means nothing in a week at the pace we wear on these things. My Kinvara's have taken a beating too and do not get me started on my Wave Riders :) For the first day I will give my shoes a solid 'B'. No final judgment until I have run some more in them.

Off to work as the kids go 'back to school' shopping!

Wow. I feel entirely drained! Today has to be one of the 3 most humid days of the year. More later....

All I seem to start with is the weather, but I'm telling you the humidity is killing me!!!!!!!! Draining... but all is well now, and there looks to be relief on the horizon. 

It was funny, it was the 2nd day in a row that I was hoping to find someone outside watering their plants so I could ask to use the hose! I double back from my usual route to make sure I could get some liquid in me so that did help. 

 Did not push too hard today nor will I tomorrow since I hope to make the 15K on Saturday.

As hoped for, a cooler morning and much  better to run. I felt good and maybe held a bit back so if I race tomorrow I will hopefully not be flat. It is not like it is important, but I feel a bit anxious wanting to do well. I feel like I need to verify my training is working... odd

I decided to run the local 10K this morning. I did not really prepare specifically  for it - just thought I would add it in. I did okay I suppose. I could have set my PR for a 5K today gauging on how strong I felt, however I seemed to slow down a bit over the last 2 miles. Odd how my training is much further but of course I am not pushing that hard. 

Ran a recovery run in the evening to add some more miles to my day and felt pretty good. I know the blog is for me to help keep me honest in my training and that is great (and important, I know no one on this blog so no one is checking), but I kept thinking I should have done better in the race. It let's doubt creep in. Boston has become a real goal for me and I want to make sure I prepare right. Maybe it is time to add some speed work back in now that I feel fairly comfortable with my base miles.
