Another hot morning 4 miler.  I think I'm finally putting this cold behind me.  My energy level is a lot better, with much less coughing.

Longest run in a while.  Freedom Hills via bst.  It is hot enough to merit soaking in every available sprinkler.  Sure it makes your shoes soggy, but that's a small price to pay.  I even ran entire hills, so I think I'm back to 95% healthy.

I was laying on the bed at 6:15 am, debating whether to run this race or not.  I know I'm not in shape to run it.  I've run it 7 times in a row, so it's the only racing streak I have.  The debate raged for 11 more minutes when I got up, put on some shoes, ate a piece of toast and went to city hall to register.  I had my bib pinned on with 2 minutes to wait before starting the race.  My warmup was the run yesterday, and the walk to the start line.

First mile was 7:30, finished in under 22 minutes.  Earlier in the week I thought I'd be happy with anything under 8 minute pace, so being at 7:07 pace was a pleasant surprise.  I ran the last couple miles with a former sprinter girl who is trying to make some headway in the longer distances.  I almost helped her puke. 

I didn't stick around for awards, because I didn't deserve any, and needed to get home to get everyone ready to throw 50lbs of candy in the parade.  Fun times.

Managed to eke out 5 this morning before taking my daughter to tennis.  Got enough raspberries to make a batch of jam!

sunday morning run, no cars anywhere.  Centerlining up parrish lane, checking out the new construction on the pedestrian bridge.  Nice, cool morning, but I still got thirsty.

4 measley miles after dark.  I got some new shoes last week, more of the same--mirages.

morning run with gaby and ash.  Fun memories of a couple years ago when she came with me all the time.

morning miles, on a day off.  Maybe I'll run the desnews 10k next year.  It's been a while.

sunday morning, taking back the streets.  64 degrees.  June was way too hot.  July has been considerably more pleasant.  Most nights it gets into the low sixties, which is good enough.  It's not Flagstaff, but it's sufficient.

Max will be home in 3.5 weeks.  10 days at home, then on to Logan for more school.  Can't wait to see him.

Ran to the baseball park with 2 on bikes and jack in the stroller.  They played and yelled while I ran 3 laps. Cool evening; perfect.
