  1. RUN
    good Lunch 5 5 mi 00:38 07:31 pace

    Another beautiful day outside - though not quite as nice as yesterday. I guess there's supposed to be a heat-wave starting this weekend so get out there and get that run in!

    What a beautiful day out there today - sunny, mid-60s, perfection. Felt good, kept a pretty consistent pace throughout.

    Oh boy - it was probably against my better judgement to do speed-work out in this heat & humidity. I did it anyway. The goal was 6 x 800m intervals (1/4-mile rest in between) at 5K goal pace (6... read more

    Worked up a good lather out there today - I think I must finally be acclimating to this warmer weather because overall I felt pretty good on this run.

    Had a lot of my mind today so the lunch run was therapeutic in a way. Haven't had too many beautiful days like today, low-70s, sunny, breezy - real nice runnin' weather.

      MN can get pretty hot and sticky in the summer as well. Lived there for a few years.

      I love MN, I lived there for 18 years before coming to Chicago. And I agree Lynn, summers there can be just as hot and sticky as the summers here.

      Thanks Erin - we'll see, I ran 20:01 at this race last year, but the temps we in the low-70s so I think the weather will be more cooperative this year. That said, with the new baby my mileage has taken a big hit and I'm not sure what kind of shape I'm in. Good luck to you on Monday!
