So, per the training plan, I've run another 17 miles this week.  Four on Monday, five Tuesday, three yesterday and another five this morning.  Monday I ran on a treadmill and the rest of the runs have been outside in the heat.

I'm starting to get a feel for my pace and have cut down on the early negative splits that plagued me last weekend.

On Tuesday, I ran on a well-shaded path and that helped me to complete the run even though it was a cool 88 degrees at run time.  The middles miles were somewhat urban (see right part of route on attached map), but for the most part the trees did their thing.

And today I ran early - 6:30 am early - but my thermometer still said 79 degrees and it was really sticky outside.  Even so, the miles were evenly paced and I feel good.

The Team will be running 10 miles on Saturday, starting from La Palestra at 7 am, and as always, I invite team members and anybody interested in joining the team to run with us.

See you there!
