Sunday, July 4th to Saturday, July 10th

I ran 2 times this week, 9.1 miles

Sun, 7/4: Happy July 4th! CJ and I went for a walk in the Ellison Park Wetlands. It was pretty hot, mid 80s and humid. A bit shady back in the woods. We went back in for a mile on the white trail, managed not to get lost and came back out.

Mon, 7/5: A real lazy day spent avoiding the heat, sometimes successful, sometimes not. We had turkey burgers with rice and peas for supper.

Tue, 7/6: Back to work. Too hot and humid to run after work. We had pasta for supper.

Wed, 7/7: Another rest day ... starting to get itchy for a run.

Thu, 7/8: 5 miles, 42:36, 8:31 pace, Remington's Run, 90F, sunny, humid, no stops, no pain.

Garmin Connect Activity for Remington's Run #3

CJ and I headed down to Remington's for a 5 mile run. I carried my Camelbak, went out slow, kept it going through a real hot and sweaty run. CJ waited for me inside. She had some blisters that prevented me from walking.

Fri, 7/9: 4.1 miles, no Garmin, Happy Hour run, 75F, light rain, humid, no stops, no pain.

CJ and I headed down to Fleet Feet for the usual Happy Hour run. I didn't pack my Garmin because of the rain so I ran 'naked'. I ran my usual 4.1 miles in a 8-ish mile pace or better. CJ walked 3 miles. I walked back out after I finished to walk back with CJ. I am very happy that CJ came out with me ... she needed to get out. We loved playing in the rain! We had the usual pasta supper after a run ... mmm!

Sat, 7/10: A late start on a drive out to Newark to get my haircut, see my father in my hospital and see my oldest son (he was the only one there). Yes, my father is back in the NWCH again for the same reason of bowel obstruction, a monthly occurrence lately. He was OK, kinda of talkative. CJ was the tourist, enjoying some of the sights of Newark with her camera.

Keeping active, Doug
