Checking the Tank

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-  a plesant 57º! Easy run, recovery style. After considering a senior trade yesterday, today was a ghost town. 

PM- 74º with 40% humidity = easy run :) 

AM- 56º, great temps for a run! Should last through tomorrows long 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.
