I'm starting to worry about Richmond. My conditioning is poor and the weather is not helping. At the start of the run it was 74F and 100% humidity; at the end it was 80F and 81% humidity. My training plan had me running 13 today. I knew that wasn't possible for me. I went out hoping to get 11, but was only able to muster 9. Pathetic.

    Definitely not pathetic, Scott! Those are tough conditions and you managed to get in some quality miles!

    Not pathetic at all. I've fallen short of my training plan plenty of times.

    Definitely not pathetic. 9 miles is awesome in that weather/heat. Good job -- keep your head up!! All of this work in the heat will pay off in the end!!

    Scott, I know it might feel pathetic. I've had that same feeling many times. Smart not to push for more miles today. The next run will probably go much better!

    Don't sweat it man, you got out the door and that's what counts. You've got plenty of months until Richmond. Just keep getting out there and keep your head in it cause come race day its you mind that ultimately gets you across the finish line.

    With that much humidity how could you breath, probably lucky get 9. Way to get it done. I am loving the new car especially since I have been driving a 98 civic.

    Jay - that's another great car. Coincidentally, I drove a silver 99 Civic coupe EX for many years. I think that was the last car I bought new.
