From the Internet.
My 10K PR has been adjusted but not entirely fixed. I'll be back and out for blood when it's not goddamn 8000 degrees with a million percent humidity.
IT'S NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY.
lol
What wouldn't you give?
Congrats Baboon, and congrats bluerun.
Yes. Good stuff.
6 miles this morning...that is all.
marathon pr - 3:16
RACE REPORT IMO: I rocked my triathlon today. Doing the math leading up to the race, I had decided I wanted to break 2:40. I finished in 2:38:52. Swim: 1600 yards at 1:54 pace. That is FAST for me! Still not great, but I am happy that I was smack dab in the middle of the pack instead of bringing up the rear. I was in wave 2 and actually caught and passed a bunch of wave 1 people. That's new for me. I am thrilled with my swim today. Bike: 24 miles at 19.0 mph. 12 miles down, and 12 miles up. I was at 23 mph avg through the first half, and finished at 19 mph avg. It is that kind of course. Run: 6.2 miles at 7:48 pace. The run was hot, humid, and hilly. Just brutal. Half mile into the thing I was wondering if I'd break a 9:00 avg pace. I dumped water on myself at every water station. I ended up passing 25 people on the run. Results aren't online yet but I am anxious to see my placements. I know I was 45 OA and 7 AG, and I was around 100 on the swim and 50 on the bike. The run split was cut off on the results sheets. The field is usually 300 or so. Anyway, I ache.

Wow, nice job! Congratulations!
D- congrats on the Chicago half marathon too. There were storms down my way about 1/2 hour south this morning. Did you see any of that?
I think I forgot to check in yesterday so 7 yesterday and 4 today. The humidity was a beast tonight even at 8pm.
