Easy jog round the hood. Cold seems to be improving, but this might just be the lull between the head and the chest.

Powerline out and back.

Been fighting a cold the last few days. Last night it was bad enough that I turned in really early and slept for 11 hours (which is pretty much double how long I usually sleep). Figured an easy jog in the already hot morning might help, but the scheduled tempo workout was clearly out. So, having cost me a Q workout, the sick flag gets turned on.

I don't think it's that bad though. I spent most of the day outside and feel a lot better already.

Home from work. Weather was from the Northeast, so I was running into the front. Temp dropped 20 degrees and it got super windy (I objected to neither of these developments). Rain didn't show up until after the run. We did get a lightening strike on our street while Kate & I were sitting outside on the porch. Probably less than a quarter second between the flash and the bang. That was cool.

Actually a pretty fine day if your plans called for a picnic or pool party. Not quite so much if you were running alternate marathon/tempo.

In to work via bus. A very much needed easy day.

The bill did show up today, with the usual St. Louis Summer Surcharge (96F for the run home). Still, was surprised at how manageable it was. Slow, for sure, but not particularly unpleasant. Seems heat acclimation is coming around a bit quicker this year.
