AM - 8 easy

PM - 4 easy. Tried out my new Ride Isos. Interesting feel. I miss the old Ride, but maybe I can get used to the new midsole. I stuck to the gravel side of the levee and they felt okay on the soft surface.

The streak continues. 12 easy this morning on the levee. Local stations are reporting dew points of 80F, and I believe it. Shoes were saturated with sweat by mile 9.

I was lazy this morning and snoozed my alarm. Got out for quick 3 in the evening to at least get something. Took the new Rides on the pavement. I'm a fan. Looking forward to more runs in these babies.

12 easy. Came so close to rolling over and going back to sleep. But I got out and got it done. Can't remember if I said it already, but I need to write my training plan. Endless weeks of easy pace are demotivating to me.

On the plus side, the hamstring feels 100% and I haven't felt anything in the posterior tib in awhile. I think I'll go another week of just easy stuff and then try a small 1:00 on/off workout.

12 easy. Faster side of easy on the last 6 miles or so. The humidity was down and I felt pretty good.
