Treadmill run at work, progressing to MP+ for last six minutes. As soon as I finished the run, all hell broke loose in ER, so the timing was good.

Out with the crack o chickens crew after a very long Monday -- run, work, moving Tyler into his new place, driving to and from Springdale. Crashed at 8:30 and didn't want to get up at 4:15, but I did. Got into the run as I went along, but I wasn't going to go past 7ish and I didn't. Just getting in the miles. We did manage a progression, largely trying to keep up with Cindy. I'm over 1000 miles for the year now, aiming for about 2100ish. If I hadn't had 74 days off in the first half of the year I might threaten my record. Or maybe not. I'd need a higher daily average even if I ran 340 days this year instead of <280.

Mid-afternoon progression in the rain after I slept until noon (and needed it!). Last 1.1 was at MPish. Even able to attack the hill on 58th at decent pace. I've run every day in July so far; one more to go to get the month streak. I would never have guessed of any month to run every day,. it would be July, but we mostly caught a break with the weather, I've felt fairly strong and I've been motivated to get out there and get it done even when I didn't feel quite so strong. Will I streak August too? Doubtful, but we'll see. Toughest part may be Saturday after I get back from KC.

Crack o chickens with the ladies for 5.2, then another 6+ on my own in the rain. All of this on about two hours of sleep. I realized I was awake at 3:45, wasn't likely to get back to sleep, and the crew would be meeting in 90 minutes. So I got up and had what passes for a leisurely breakfast at 4 a.m. Legs got a little heavy but I ran the last 3.25 in under 9:00 pace anyway. I'd thought about doing 18 this morning, but with the rain, that would have risked some major blisters, and I don't think the legs were up to another 6+ miles anyway.
