20 minutes of Boot Camp. Just enough to be semi sore the next day.

4 1/2 miles at lunch time. 82F, 30% humidity. It actually felt pretty good. Heavy legs first mile, then warmed up. That's been happening a lot lately.

Ran at lunch time. Felt way hotter than 73F. Can 56% humidity really impact the feeling that much? I feel for Preston and others who constantly run in heat & humidity. I can't even imagine it. Not that today was hot, but it actually felt a bit hotter than yesterday which was 86F and 30% humidity. I'm sure more of a mental thing than anything.

We had our company health fair a couple days ago and my results sucked. Up 6 pounds, more visceral fat, less muscle %, etc. etc. It ticked me off and woke me up. I pulled up a graph of my monthly running the past 4 years and for the first time in 4 years I haven't hit 100 miles in a month for 5 straight months. No shocker that my numbers stunk so bad. I've added a marathon training plan to my calendar now so I have something to shoot for. It's helped get me out the door the last two days and it will continue.
