Whew! Again!

Man, it's hot out there! The humidity is the killer. Last night I ran about 6 miles, mostly speedwork.

Anna and Maddie (and Carson) got their oatmeal raisin cookies. They are SO sweet.

I had my Garmin set for 1/4 mile splits and haven't quite figured out all my times, but I did 4 x 800 (first 800 was 3:15, that much I do know) and 4 x 400 (which were 1:31 1:29 1:32 1:32). It was a killer workout in those weather conditions. My shoes and clothes were SOAKED. Again. And my sweaty legs and shoes, covered with cinders.

Yuck. What a mess. Then it was off to Randy's deck to wind down. And try to cool off. Lovely evening if you didn't have to move. :-)

Morning brought a 5:30 AM workout in Byron ... the Progessive Run. Goal pace: 10 9 8:30 8 7:30 7 6:30. My splits: 10 9 8:30 8 7:28 6:52 6:42 (after a 15 second rest). I just can't pull out that 6:30 mile. But I WILL keep trying. And ... one of these days it's not going to be 78 degrees and terribly humid at 5:30 AM!! I kept going until I had in about 10 1/2 miles.

Also running TC10 ... Suzanne LaPalm. The list is growing!!

I stumbled across this thread on Runnersworld. Me and my little blog are mentioned!!! Runnersworld Kinda cool I think ...

As far as I know, Jim Parry completed his endurance challenge yesterday at the Y. Here he is at 5:00 AM, just starting up the 'mill. Running along side him is Danny Stroh.

I checked in on him again about 5:00 PM. Tom O' was running alongside him at this point. He was at about 52 miles.

I can't imagine running on a treamill for 17 hours, no matter how much company I had. 1 hour drives me batty.

Well, I'm running out of time for this post but here are a couple of Vikings pix ...

Bernard Berrian has really long skinny legs :-)

Sidney Rice (dreadlocks) and AP (#28)

Later! Gotta run ...
