Waited until after the Indy 500 to run. Bad move. It was 86 with HI of 89 when I finished. Managed decent pace the whole way, in spite of feeling like a rotisserie chicken roasting on all sides (first shirtless run of the summer; hide the women and children). Best I can say is I got out and got it done in spite of the weather.

Two humid, miserable hours. But got it done despite a bonk. 9:50 average even with the bonk.

Got the run done after dropping Jen on the highway. Then had to go back and get her when te thunderstorm hit. Just a muggy, sultry morning to do 6.

Dragged myself out for a progression run with Kathy, Tieu and David. They dragged me faster at the start than I really wanted to go, but once I got warmed up I was fine in spite of having worked all night. Last mile would qualify at MP and I could have easily gone faster but didn't want to leave Tieu. Then a cooldown walk. I think I need more runs like this where I push the pace a bit. Should have gotten to the track at some point this week, but maybe I can do that Monday.

Wells Lake run with the gang at 8 a.m. Legs were fine. Rest of me was asleep. Or worse. Got through at decent pace though with a good progression.
