What a great morning! We had really nice, cool temperatures overnight, and low humidity, which means that it was possible for perspiration to evaporate from my face this morning. I don’t really like running the day after my long runs, but the weekend’s travel made it necessary this week, and it wasn’t bad. I’m looking forward to running a 5K this weekend. I’ve never run in an organized race, so it will be great experience ahead of the marathon.

Longest run thus far, on a very muggy day. With Brian. Tried to set a slow initial pace to help us run as much of the 7 miles as possible – questionable success.

Another nice cool morning. Fastest average pace yet when running with Brian – he’s going to be beating me soon! Looking forward to a 7-miler this weekend.

Good run this morning. We finally got a cooler, less humid day, and Brian is making great strides in his endurance. We lopped a good bit of time off our pace today, and finished strong. I’m going to try and push a little more time off the run tomorrow, and then we’ll see what we can do on a long run this weekend.

Hot seems to be the theme in Nashville now. It was 81 before 5 am today, so this was not a cool run. Brian ran with me this morning. He’s coming into shape quickly – today was about 30 seconds/mile faster than our last run together.

One word: HOT! I got up early. It was 79 degrees when I got up. I think it’s summer. I had to take a few walking breaks today, but even with those slower periods of walking, I took 40 seconds/mile off the pace of my 5-mile outing last Saturday. (When it was a good bit cooler, I might add.)
