   good West Y 1000 m

   It was my first time in the lap pool in maybe a year, so my arms were definitely fried after the swim.

   I got a later start to the run than I had planned. I felt rather blah at first, but felt better as the miles started ticking by, however, I felt really fatigued during my last four or so. The heat and humidity zapped my energy out there. I threw in some walk breaks to stay safe, but definitely could have used more water and perhaps a sprinkler to run through.

   I opted to go to the Y today with Megan for a little incline work on the treadmill. I pretty much stayed at levels 10-15 throughout. I ran at level 10 for a total of 15 minutes during my hour, and walked at the other levels throughout. I felt strong today, but definitely worked up a sweat. I'm thinking of going long tomorrow. Since Megan is having some knee pain, we are going the forgo the Couples Classic.

   I decided to get up early this morning to get an early start on the day (not to mention, take advantage of the cooler weather), and make my to SCP. I crossed paths with the morning group and joined them for a bit of tempo in my run (definitely some rare "speed" work for me). It felt nice to see the group again and to get the legs turning over a little more quickly.

   Since I missed getting in my miles over the weekend, I tried to sneak them in this morning. I felt decent for my first 10ish, but fatigue started setting in after that (and perhaps the heat and humidity as well). I ended up throwing in a few walk breaks to give it that "ultra" feel. SCP was pretty uneventful, but I did add 10 hill repeats to spice things up a bit.

   After being on my feet working a huge garage sale for me grandpa the last few days, plus our recent summer work,my training has unfortunaty been on a hiatus. It felt nice to run again today since I haven't been able to do so since last Wednesday. Hopefully some normalcy will return to my world. BTW... I felt good today during my run at SCP.

   I had a dental cleaning this morning, and wasn't able to get out for my run until afterward. I felt a little more tired today while running at SCP, but overall pretty good. The pace was once again nice and easy, but I did drop down to half marathon pace during mile 5. I'm definitely not used to running fast.

    We got in late last night from a fun filled day at the beach and hanging out with friends, and I had planned to take the day as a rest day, but decided last minute to join Megan on the hotel treadmills for a little incline training. The hotel treadmills (life fitness?) were pretty sweet with built in TVs and a screen that was showing my progress up the mountain (switchbacks included). Although I wasn't pushing hard, I did get in 1200 feet of vertical gain during my walk at inclince.

    After a long day of delays and air travel and getting to our hotel around 3am last night, I wasn't quite ready for an early morning run. I did, however, manage to get out around 9:21 eastern time for a run along the Mytic River in Connecticut exploring a bit. It was definitely warm and humid out (much like Kansas). Not too bad. Enjoyed the change in scenery today.

    It felt nice to get out and run this morning and sweat out all the toxins from the end of school year party the other day. I felt rather blah at first, but felt much better as the run went on. It seemed like reptile day at SCP because during my run I saw a box turtle and 2 snakes. Pretty cool. I also threw in about a mile of hill repeats on the big hill. Hopefully things continue feeling good as I increase the long run mileage.
