River Rd/Collins/Deerpass loop. My garmin died at the beginning of the run so the mileage is a rough estimate, but it should be pretty close. It was hot, hot, hot and my legs were somewhat sore from the hills on the Nordic trail yesterday. It meant a slow crawl but a run is a run, is a run at this time of year.

Two loops at the Nordic trail. My new father in law was talking about how he's been taking gels every half hour on long runs lately and that it's been working really well for him. I tried it myself today. It felt like cheating, long runs are enjoyable again! On a sadder note, all the vegetation is on the verge of death. There were even giant oak trees that had fallen down simply because their wood is so weak because of the drought. Ugh, it's like running in the west, everything is brown. Stupid global warming.

incline treadmill hike. I started at 10% and worked my way up to 14%. I'm sympathetic to the Hardrock runners this weekend. It's actually a fairly strenuous workout to walk an incline like that.

group run at VA. I was actually in the slower group tonight, everyone else had their wheels on. I felt good for once, but I simply took it easy

Progressive run on the HUM trail. 10:30 - 7:39. It would seem that becoming Mrs Willis has not endowed me with magical speedy legs. I'll keep trying though, it might just take some time to show.

First run post wedding as Mrs Willis. It felt good
