Worn out after work this morning, decided to run before work tonight. With HI of 90, decision to go indoors was easy, and I got there just in time to do 5 on the track before they closed. So, I did. For some reason indoor runs there are more boring than at MAFC. Maybe it's lack of scenery or music.

94% humidity at 7 a.m. And that may be low. All you need to know about this run. Bleah.

Marking National Running Day with a double. At 5 a.m. with Kathy, Khuong, Logan and Tiffany M. They went farther, but I was having GI issues and bailed when we looped back by the cars at 5.3. Six hours later, still having GI issues. Plan is to do the Creekmore run this evening and then join the group at La Huerta. Hope the tummy cooperates.

The tummy cooperated, the weather didn't. Heat index of 97, zero breeze, zero shade, sun beating down on me. Felt like Boston only 20 degrees worse. It was bad. Really bad. Barely finished.

Indoor fish at Mercy once I finally dragged my carcass out the door at 4 p.m. for errands and a haircut. Managed to push the pace for the last mile although dragging a bit.

Ran at 7 before going to the eye doctor. Didn't feel like being out there and cut it off at 4 miles.
