Fricking heat. Had to stop every mile and a half to top off my 8oz water bottle. A couple of those stops were prolonged to dump cold water on myself and hang out in the shade for a bit

It's days like this I wonder if I could pull off a morning running schedule.

Rest day for me today. Weird to see I just ran 6 days in a row. I think that's some sort of record for me. Thing is, my legs feel great and I wanted to go for a run

First tough workout of the marathon plan. Had to do the middle 8 miles at marathon pace. Did okay but slowed the last few:

7:05
7:04
7:05
6:58
7:09
7:17
7:26
7:09

I had to take a short break before finishing off the last four because I was pretty well spent after running at that pace

Another recovery run. May have gone a bit too fast

Well, I'm back from Michigan feeling well rested and recovered. I have a couple days to unwind (like I need more of that) and then back to the salt mines
