Little stiff and tired after the long weekend.  Ran 11 with Laura.  We took it easy on pace and focused on heart rate on this run.  We were both beat from spending time with family and friends.  Play you pay?

16 mile long run.  8 miles at a low Heart Rate then gradually picked it up to marathon pace for the last 8.  It rain hard through the whole run.  The rain helped keep the core temperature down.

13 miles with half at MP + 10%.  At 5:10AM the temperature was at 80 degrees.  Hot & humid.  Longest I have run in the Newtons.  13 miles is 2 miles too many.  Feet hurt.  Will only use the Newtons for shorter runs.

Had not been on the bike in a month.  Opted out of the 5 mile recovery run for a 45 mile ride with the group.  Average pace was 20.1 MPH on a hilly course.

Ran 3 out and back on Ronald Regan. Hilly to keep us in check.  Scott met us at the McFarland lot for the remaining 8.  Ran the greenway under the tree canopy.  Even at 7:30AM the temps were in the 80's.  Good run to end the week.
