Hermann-Rice long zoo + Braes. May have some sort of bug, as my stomach was a mess yesterday & things definitely aren't feeling 100%. But a front actually moved through late yesterday & while it didn't bring cooler air, it did usher in much drier air. This in turn made a huge difference. A run that would likely have turned into a death march in yesterday's conditions was pretty solid even when the motor wasn't feeling great.

Hermann. Post-trip shake out run. Not too bad. It was definitely hot, but the humidity wasn't as nasty as usual. A dividend of a crazy-dry July.

Lake Norman SP - Lakeshore Trail. This one was closer to lunchtime & it was a good bit warmer than Sunday's run. I felt really good from the get go, however, and was moving at a chippy pace for the first couple of miles. Started to slow a bit during mile 3 and by the 4th mile, things weren't chippy anymore. The final mile was all walking save for maybe .20 of downhill. Felt cooked and close to passing out by the end. Too much sun & beer & too little quality sleep sort of caught up to me. Love this trail though.

Lake Norman State Park. Lakeshore Trail x 2. If I had this and these conditions in my back yard, training would be a hell of a lot easier. Nice jaunt.
