  1. RUN
    alright 10 miler around crocus hill 10.09 mi 01:35 09:25 pace

    Ick. Hard. Plus chafing. I think this run may have gone better, had I gotten more sleep.

  2. RUN
    alright Neighborhood 1/2 mile repeat ... 5.47 mi 01:00 10:58 pace

    Speed workout: warmup, 6x800 repeats with 3 minute rests, cooldown. Aimed for 3:40 on the splits, got it once (the third repeat I think. Glad it wasn't the first!); slowest time was 4:00. Learned t... read more

  3. RUN
    good Shepard road 5 miler 5 mi 00:55 11:00 pace

    Wow, this heat! Was hoping to end up calling this noon 5-miler in the heat a tempo run, just because of the heat, but at mile 3 I started getting some stomach cramps that pretty much determined tha... read more

    great climb night at the gym 02:00

    Getting back to my preferred method of resistance training, with friends. :)

  5. FIT
    Short route to/from work 2.42 mi 00:15:00 06:11 pace

    Uphill climb on the bike, yesterday evening. Teeny bit of cardio/intervals for me; rather large portion of sweat.

  6. VELO
    good Safe route to work 3.17 mi 00:15:00 12.7mph pace

    Short, pleasant bike ride. Swampy air. Still, it cooled me off.

  7. RUN
    alright 13.1 mi 02:32 11:36 pace

    Long, flat run in uncomfortable heat & humidity, though I picked a mostly shaded trail, drank a whole Camelbak full of water, took on some Clif Shot Bloks, and stopped to walk every time my HR ... read more

      Nice work! Can't hurt to drink too much for a 2:30 run, not enough time to get into trouble. Sure was a hot one.

      Awesome miles, Arah! Yeah, it looks like this weather pattern will persist until at least Thursday. Ugh!

    Wow. Aimed to do trainer Dave's recommended workout of warmup, 4x1mile @ 8:15, cooldown. Despite crazy thirst (I forgot to bring a bottle or drink more than a swig before I started at 6:30am), I ma... read more

      Way to go, Arah! Every mile was sub-8:15, and way under too!! I heard that with 90 degree temps and high humidity the heat index will be well into the 100s. UGH! :)

      Thanks! And, yikes, about the heat index. I have a long run to do on Sunday, 10-12 miles. Maybe I'll start it at 4am?

      I know the Ohio Street Hill all too well; I've never thought of doing it as a cool-down!

    Hello, High Bridge. Worked up a small sweat, biking up.

  10. VELO
    good Safe route to work 3.17 mi 00:15:00 12.7mph pace

    Coasted the whole ride down the bridge. Today's not a cardio day. :)

  11. RUN
    good Battle Creek half half-marath... 6.52 mi 01:22 12:34 pace

    Fun trail run with a larger group of SISU's. Outran the skeeters. I may pay for this, when I try and do mile repeats on Friday morning.

    great Short route to/from work 2.42 mi 00:15:00 9.7mph pace

    I usually find a longer route home, to get a better workout, but was short on time yesterday. Sometimes biking the shortest route home (the route I take in the car) is enjoyable because it seems to... read more

    good Slightly longer ride home 4.06 mi 00:30 8.1mph pace

    As if my legs need more hills, lately. But, it was a good, short workout.

    good Safe route to work 3.17 mi 00:15:00 04:43 pace

    Post-storm, the air was cool & clean, which made for a lovely bike ride to work. Funny wind direction, though: headwind, going down the High bridge. This is one of the few times I could keep pe... read more

  15. RUN
    good Hyland Lake Park trails 10 mi 01:52 11:11 pace

    Not sure about the mileage. Chris and I put down nearly 2 hours of trail running, starting at 7am today, to try and beat the heat. A thunderstorm had just rolled though, but it didn't provide the c... read more
