Day 928, 20.3 miles in some very hot humid conditions. I lost 6 lbs on the run but took in over 100 oz of water too and three things of shot blocks. For some who my weight that is a lot in 20 miles. I feel great though and had a good strong run.

Day 930, 10 mile progressive run. The last two mile were sub 7 minute miles. My legs tried to revolt against the pace but they managed. What a very humid morning it is too. I look like I just got out of the water, dripping wet.

Imsore, I guess summer is here for a while. I had another humid run today. Hopefully your car will get fixed soon.

Relay for Life starts tonight @ 6pm. Looking forward to see how many miles I can do in 14 hours. There are going to be a lot of activities going on so I will be lucky if I can get 30 miles in. Just want to see how it feels to run through the night, if I ever get to do a 100 miler.

#601- 18 mi.

I usually don't do my long ride then long run on back to back days, but I really had a rough schedule this week with no car and had to squeeze it in. Surprisingly, it went well. I thought I would be dragging my feet, but I had a spring in my step. Mixed in 4 miles of trails, and finished my last 10 miles avg. 7:20ish pace.

I think I've run well lately because my weight has come down a bit. After my run I was at 163, which is the lowest number that I've seen on the scale since I was in high school. Some of the weight loss was hydration, but not all that much, I was 165 in the morning before the run.

In my early 30s, my kids were first born, I was working alot, I wasn't exercising at all and my weight went up to 215. I would have never believed that my weight could get down to the point where I may see 150s at some point. And I am hardly anorexic, just fit.

Relay for Life went ok for out first year. We raised over $1000. With all the time we have spent at the hospital the last few months we had a lot of last minute things to do. The morning of the relay my son wasn't feeling the best so he wasn't going to make it down for his lap.
We had great weather and my wife came down for the start.
We had a small team of 5, 2 of which were leaving at 10. The track was full so I was doing a fast walk and figured I would run as the track thinned out.
About 10pm my wife called and told me my son was getting a fever and we needed to take him back to the hospital, since the hospital he goes to is 50 miles away that would be the end of the relay for me.
My 2 remaining team mates kept the walking up till 2am. I was surprised to learn a lot of the teams packed up about that time, even though it is supposed to run until 8am.

After a couple days of meds my son is doing better again. spent a quite day in the hospital with him and my wife.

I ended up with 5 miles of fast walking. Now I have a sore hip, I think the fast walking hurt more than a slow jog would have. something to remember for next year.
