Another 4 miles.  Weather was warmer than usual and humid from last nights wicked lightning storm.  I was a little tired from the storm that was impossible to sleep through.  Then my wife brought our scared 4-year-old into bed.  She decided to sleep perpendicular.

4 1/2 mile repeats all run at 3:45.  I was aiming for 3:50 and will continue to do so because I'll start increasing the reps sometime soon.  One mile warm up and one mile cool down.

 My Mizuno Elixers now have over 650 miles on them and still feel good.  What's with the 500 mile limit on shoes?  People run without shoes!  So why should 500 miles be a limit?  I suppose if the shoe wears more quickly on one side or the other because of someone's gait it might mess stuff up, but I run pretty neutral so I'm going to see how many miles I can put on these things.

4 easy miles.  It took forever to get warmed up.  My first mile was 10:07 and even the first half of the second mile was slow.  On top of that I almost went back to bed.  I had this run and one more to get in this week so "I could just run Friday and Saturday" I told myself.  After going back to bed one day it gets easier to go back to sleep on the next so I dragged myself out.  Average pace 8:57.

Ran 5 this morning.  65 degrees, it was as a little warmer than usual.  Went with my daughter while she rode her bike.  It was fun.  Average pace 8:35, pretty good.  Things are improving.

The tunnel under main street on the JRP is open!  It is a little gross.  It looked like a light brown landscape fabric was draped over the rock retaining wall.  It was actually a big wall of gross algae.  I almost threw up in my mouth.
