| | 4 miles on the beach, our last morning in Florida. Changed things up by driving 5 miles south to look for dolphins. Didn’t see any, but I did see some Sea Turtle tracks from the night before, including one who laid a nest. Pretty cool. It was a beach at Sand Dunes state park, so nobody was on the beach, and it wasn’t a flat beach so tough to run on, but fun nonetheless.
Stopped a lot without stopping the clock so AP was high, but I ran 7:30s the last mile as the clouds were dark and I thought it would downpour. It didn’t.

| | Run from home. I love running in the West, hands down so much easier than heat, high dew point & humidity, even though at sea level. today at 6:30 it was 60F, 49F dew point, 67% humidity. I'm surprised it was so humid as it didn't feel like it. I guess high dew point is what makes running so tough. Today my hands were a little chilly on the way out! So nice.
I took the dog and I won't make that mistake again. She is not well trained, and had done well on a few previous runs, but she was awful today. Kept pulling me on the out, and pulled me sideways on the back. I was not pleased. I will stick to what's worked for me the past 9 years: run alone. I'm a good running partner for myself.
AP: 9:13 (it was better than this, but I stopped a few times because of the dog)

| | 5 miles from the Y at lunch. A bit warmer out, but very manageable at 74F, 51% humidity. Direct sun which does zap the energy. Quads still really sore from the runs this week. Hoping to do 8 miles tomorrow, longest since early January, but we'll see. I'd much prefer fresh legs to do 8.
AP: 8:30

| | 8 miles from home this morning. Longest run since my January seizures. It was hard, but mainly because I’ve run far (for me) the last 3 days. Hoping to get my Saturday long runs back up to 10 miles soon. Time will tell if the seizures took a much bigger impact on my body than I thought or if it’s the meds or both. I do know I felt great in early January and ran my regular 10 mile route and felt fine, then had seizures a few days later and the effort since then has been very different: much more effort required to achieve the same results.
AP: 9:03
