Finally, a return to the Oven Door. Ran the official route. Ran with the pack until we hit the Garnsey hill and I had to let them go, not knowing how the heat (it must've been 80 by 7:30) and hills (I hadn't run this route in over decade) would play out. I was by myself (although I did hear Audra's footsteps) until just past halfway when a woman caught up to me and we ran the rest together. I really wanted to stop at the sprinklers at the mall but I was afraid I might not get started again.

Never really was breathing hard, and I assume my HR stayed fairly low, but my legs felt really heavy. But did manage to finish up under 8 min pace from the 490 underpass (1.6 miles) without much effort.

At work before 7:30, still there after 6:30, with no lunch (no run or swim). Managed the willpower to run and not eat after I got home. Easy run near home, since I hope to finally make the OD in the AM.

Very easy run at XC Camp. Two spicket breaks were needed because of the record heat. Ran with Z, Jake, Sugar and B2.

Some of the core workout with the team, plus hip or whatever exercises.

Very erratic round, took an 8 on the last hole for 46. The putter was really working at least.

It's been a long time. Not easy.

Ran with the younger boys during XC camp at Webster Park. Today was w/up, 6 min T, Whiting Rd trails until time to turn around (pushing the hills, which ended up being 3 x about 30 sec), then 2 x 3 min T on the way back (separated by a water break). After the water break I was going to check for a couple of missing veterans, but had forgotten to remind the other guys to do another tempo, so I ran hard for 3 min to catch them and launch them into the tempo. When we finished, I went back to find Luke, who was running with the rookie girls (since his mother showed up way late to pick him up), and I ran in with him. He held off most of Zach's group on the way in.

Just 6 strides today.

It's a start:
push-ups (15)
sit-ups (25)
90-6s (10)
superman (1 min)
side crunches (20 ea)
bicycles (30)
jane fondas (7?)

Ran from the Greece Little League fields before Luke's quarter-final game, which they won, 9-6 (led 9-1 after 5, but played a less-than-optimal lineup in the last inning).

Here's the route. I did 8 x 30 sec pickups during the last 8 minutes, just to not be completely worthless in the heat.

Ran over to Lincoln Park, went until I was at 18 minutes then came back a slightly longer route (was 42 seconds faster the last 0.9 than the first).

Tried to wait as long as possible for some cooling effect, but it did not happen before nate's flight was getting in.
