Training Log Archive: Spike

To/from Clinton. Nice temps and clouds, with some light rain for a few minutes on the way home.

On the trails at Clinton.

Trailhawks didn't run there this morning (probably due to the rain?) so there were plenty of spiderwebs for me to find. The trail was in good shape. We had some rain last night, but no enough to create any mud on the trails.

I probably should have run more like an hour, but I kind of wanted to get home and watch the last stage of the Tour. 15 years ago we were in Paris for the last stage. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago.

I felt mostly ok.

A pre-breakfast jog on West Campus.

An easy bike ride on the bike path with Mary. We headed out to Baker Wetlands.

Ad Astra's NoLaw 5K. The weather was about as good as you can get for a early evening race in July - temp around 81-82 and sunny.

I felt ok for the first mile or so, then I started feeling over heated. The first 2 miles is in the sun. In the last mile, I took two quick breaks to dump some water on my head and shoulders to try to cool off a bit. It helped.

Kept ahead of Meangene, but just barely.

Some jogging and walking to warm up.

Rolled around to see how I was feeling and break a good sweat.

Normal? Not quite. But I felt not too terrible.
