| NEOC sprint at regis college. Finished 25 seconds behind Ross. Unfortunately, it seems I skipped the dogleg to #7 and went straight from 6 to 8. Bummer. Otherwise, it went pretty well. Just a couple of confusions. Good speed. |

| 3 hill/interval bouts at umstead (reedy creek). Distance is roughly o-dist, not actual dist. Arches were tingling so I stopped early (was planning to do one more).
Saturday I apparently ran through a tick breeding ground, as I had 30 or so baby ticks on me afterwards. Didn't pick up many sunday or tuesday, but today I must've run through another hatchery, and picked off as many again. I think, due to the tick situation, I'll stick to the streets for the rest of the week. |

| Umstead south. Did about half of the planned course before I ran out of time. Much greener area than yesterday, more spiders, same heat. Ankles are kind of sore in the same way as when I went to the NEOC Breakheart event in the spring. Basically it hurts on the outside of my foot just below the ankle when I roll my foot inwards. Doesn't hurt at all otherwise. |

| Terrain run at umstead north. We forgot the maps at the house so I just ran along the park border with a park map. Woods were really nice, very little green. Very hot (heat index was supposed to be 115F today). |

| BU - Longfellow with 1:5 pawtuckaway map. Good concentration. Tried to keep up a higher cadence (have been kind of lazy about it past few runs). |

| Eliot - Science museum loop, in the rain. Really nice running conditions, only the electrical storm passed over me around the time I was coming back past the BU bridge, which was a bit of a distraction from map reading, and a bit of an incentive to get moving. It abated after I made my way through the throngs celebrating India day at the half-shell (who were all brilliantly carrying umbrellas). I felt a twinge of pain in my right arch after passing under Longfellow on the home stretch, so I decided to stop and walk the rest of the way. Hamstrings were quite exhausted by the time I stopped, but otherwise I felt great. Map was a copy of blue day 1 from the team fundraiser in January, which I read for about 35 minutes, then a hogencamp map which I read for 10 minutes or so. |

| slept:8.0 shoes: asics gel-landreth II |
| Ran to Beacon Hill via Longfellow, then around boston common, and back along Boylston/Commonweath to Mass Ave. 93F when I got back at 5. I usually rate intensity by speed, but today it was heavily influenced by how hot it felt. Feet felt fine, hamstring wasn't nearly so tired as on the previous couple of runs. |

| running (road) 41:13 [2] **** 4.78 mi (8:36 / mi) | |
| slept:9.0 shoes: asics gel-landreth II |
| BU-Longfellow loop. The weather today at 6 was much more favorable than the past couple of runs (which took place an hour or two earlier) which made a huge difference to how I felt physically and my concentration for the map. Generally felt good, though I have some muscle soreness in my left hamstring as if I was climbing a lot. Feels better after stretching, but definitely still there. Feet are pretty good, no pain. Rest day tomorrow and we'll see how things are Saturday before deciding how long to go on Sunday. |

| running (road) 35:44 [3] 4.07 mi (8:46 / mi) | |
| slept:8.0 shoes: asics gel-landreth II |
| River St. - Mass Ave. loop. Started a little before 5, while it was still a little warm and pretty humid. Felt tired the whole way, hamstrings were quite tired at the end. Feet still not 100%, but no pain, and the shoes are good. |
Tuesday Aug 9 |
| running (road) 50:58 [2] **** 5.73 mi (8:54 / mi) | |
| slept:9.0 shoes: asics gel-landreth II |
| BU-Science Museum loop at 4pm. Warm, humid, and windy (82F, 60%, 14mph when I got back at 5). Took along a hogencamp map but didn't have much concentration for it. Legs were really tired by the end, particularly hamstrings. Feet felt ok, no pain. New shoes feel pretty good. |

| Bexley-Simmons-BU-Longfellow-Bexley with Lori. The arch on my right foot still feels a little tight and both feet tingle a little bit in the arch area, but no pain.
Exchanged the Mizunos yesterday for a pair of Asics Gel-Landreths, which are the same as the shoes I've been wearing, only they don't have the stiff foam post on the inner side of the shoe. I'll try them out tuesday. |

| Wore these new shoes to work yesterday and my arches were hurting by the end of the day. Today my arches still hurt a bit from time to time, so I decided to give them a rest. |
