Not really mojo. Just arrived home from London on Tuesday night and still feeling the effects of an exhausting day of travel and messed up from the time change.
True.... I've never flown so I don't know that crappy feeling.

Went out to do 6, weather app said I had 90 minutes before the big storm hit. Weather app was wrong. Ended up with 4 miles, with the last .50 miles sprinting around my neighborhood trying to at least get to 4 miles and avoid being struck by lightening lol
Are we there, yet?
I can do 15 hours of swimming, biking and running in 1 day....but I'm winded when I get to the top of the (1) flight of stairs at work.
On a trip to Yellowstone my DD, 3 grandkids, and I took the steps to the bottom of the gorge by Lower Yellowstone Falls. I raced the grandkids back to the top and left them panting behind me. I have no idea how many steps or the vertical gain, but there were 2 or 3 benches on the way up for people to rest.

Interesting how much a difference a few degrees of temperature can make.
Yesterday it was 88 and while I got my normal 4ish miles in, they were some of my slowest.
Today the temp was "only" 82 and I was actually able to get my scheduled tempo(ish) run in.
Better pace than same effort last week, and lower heart rate.
I'm sure the cloud cover instead of intense sun made a difference also.

Lordy, I hope there are tapes.
He's a leaker!
4.9. Made it home before the rain started again, although there may have been a few drops while I was running. Or maybe that was just sweat. I couldn't really tell, despite it being 20 degrees cooler than it has been, pretty sure the temp & dewpoint were the same.
Another 3.5 miles tonight.
4 miles a couple of hours ago when it had cooled off to 82.
