Keeping it easy today at my first workout back. The goal for now on will be to run plenty of miles and be consistent, but to relax my paces a little bit on the workouts. That way I can get more volume in. Afterall, I was much fitter in spring 2015 when my workout times were much slower.

Amazing day outside. I'll enjoy it while it lasts. Wednesday and Thursday highs are 91 each day-no joke insane heat.

Very hot this evening, 90 degrees. Noticed I was breathing heavier. I'm guessing my heart was having to work harder to keep my body temperature cool as I've not run in this kind of heat since last Summer.

I had already signed up for the Brooklyn Half long before I ran into issues in the last month. After resting I figured I would be able to run the half at marathon pace, which I did. It was difficult toward the end. I'm a little heavy after the break but had fun. Ran 1:13:54

Wanted to pick it up for three but ran out of trail when I needed to pass people. 2.5 mile tow path pickup 5:35,5:42. It was muddy. When I do this again I will have to start the pick-up right after chain bridge.

cut it to only 6 this morning when I became completely soaked within 5 minutes of starting my run in the rain. In the evening I was completely soaked because I was caught in a thunderstorm.

10:28,10:28. Felt good this morning. I have a lot of work to do to get back into racing shape but it's been coming along nicely this week. I still need to work on improving my diet a little more. I find that as I get a little older my diet becomes a bigger issue. I need to watch the beer/sweets and make sure I get my fruits and vegetables in so I feel good, recover, and not gain weight.

Went hiking for three hours with Jenn on a section of the Appalacian Trail. It was hilly and technical so I took the day off from running. Good cross training though

Humid but I felt great this morning. Yesterday's hike seemed to have made my legs feel pretty good as well as the squats, etc. I've been doing
