Easy miles to work in a steady rain. I really got soaked this morning, but to tell you the truth, it felt good. Legs felt good and rested. Hope I improve from last week.

Ran to work this morning and felt ok. Frustrating year to say the least. No more basketball!

Nice and easy run to work. No problems from the run yesterday so I put as many as I could fit in before work. Low 40's for temps...... feels like September!

Ran to work on another cool morning. Temps at 45 degrees. Just the usual run. Finding that more and more people are running in the mornings here. With the opening of the running store this past spring I think that has helped with the running in this area. It's good to see.

Working the swing shift today so got up at 6am and ran some good miles. Ran 3 at 6:50 pace and felt okay considering all the injuries the past couple of months. I really want to run a marathon this year but I don't feel like I have enough miles in to make it a pleasant experience. Might set my sights on a half somewhere.

Ran to my nephews bday party at community part on a warm afternoon with temps in the high 80's. Had a bunch of fruit and wished him well and ran home. Glad I made it home without any issues. Too much fruit!

Nice morning to run.....felt a bit tired and stopped just under 7. All in all a good week with 46+ plus miles considering the injury the last couple of weeks. Hope next week will be a good one. Temps this morning were in the high 50's when I took off. Hard to believe that August is about up. My daughter, who is serving in DC South is heading home on the 9th of December! We received her flight plans and we are thinking that she is going to come home know. Not sure she wants to but she has family that misses her.

Ran to work this morning with temps in the low 50's. Just perfect! No wind and lots of clear sky. Legs felt good this morning and no ill effects from my ankle. Good start to a real busy week at our house.

Good run in the morning before work. Temps have been just perfect in the mornings! Low 50's and no wind. Ran up sunnyside and around to 17th. Ran into several runners and bikers along the way.

Very warm and humid out by the time I finally got out to run. Pleased with the distance and how well I feel at the moment.

Ran to work on a beautiful morning. Temps in the low 50's to start. Hopefully taking a quick run at lunch around the greenbelt. Looking forward to my daughters email from DC. She had a hurricane and earthquake to deal with last week. Hoping she is doing well!

Quick run at lunch on a warm pleasant afternoon. I heard from my daughter in DC. They had an earthquake last year some time that was 2 something and it woke her up. This one last week was 5.8 and she was riding her bike and she didn't feel a thing. Her comment on the hurricane ........ It blows like this in Idaho..... Doesn't rain like this..............Glad that she is safe and back at it.

Ran after work on a breezy afternoon. Warm temps and lack of drinking today provided me with a good challenge. Looking around for just about anything to drink. Got to think ahead!

80 degrees and a nice breeze today. Felt pretty good today. Ran up sunnyside and back down 21st for a real nice run! Forecast is for some cooler weather the rest of the week. It will make the afternoon runs a lot easier to tolerate. Ya, I am a whimp when it comes to the heat. Ankle seems to be healed up!
