Run 3:52:28 [2] 21.0 mi (11:04 / mi)
shoes: Inov-8 295's
Huntsville SP w/ HTREx - went to do the 20 and ended up missing a turn but all was good.
the good: good mileage, good time on the feet, good to see everyone. lots of really strong folks who are training and getting really fit right now. didn't take a gel until over 2 hours, helping me get back into the fat-burning mode, which was good. my new running watch was good.
the bad: horrific humidity might have led to a little dehydration even though i feel i was pretty on top of it. Got some nasty nausea in the last two or so miles and even though my body felt ok, when i tried to run a little harder my stomach did back-flips. forced to shuffle and power-hike the hills in order not to spew.
the ugly: nothing really. not too bad.

Run 1:00:00 [2] 6.5 mi (9:14 / mi)
shoes: Asics Hyper Speed 4 #2

Q: Riddle me this, what's the difference between today's run and being forced into eternal service as the Devil's butt-plug in the afterlife?
A: Being Satan's eternal anal-bead would, undoubtedly, be cooler and more pleasant than today's run, not to mention that you wouldn't be exposed to the direct Houston sun.
recovery pace. both hamstrings were sore and tweaking and both hip flexors were pretty tight after monday's and thursday's runs. needed to take it easy. couple of little walks, too.

Run 1:04:18 [2] 7.0 mi (9:11 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Launch
memorial+. humidity i can deal with. heat i can deal with. what's killing me is the direct, overhead sun. it just kills me. i guess i'll just have to suck it up on tuesday and thursday and run early in the morning without any recovery time... i can't run in the heat of the day anymore. all in all, not horrible considering i walked a few times. so, probably 8:20 pace when running.
