Of Mice and Marathons

Good hour+ recovery run. Union/Courtland/Greenbush variation - 7.1 miles, averaged 8:38

AM: Ran part of Jefferson High School loop before turning back to the house to make a pit stop and ran another 2.3 miles out and back on Elmwood before calling it a morning - 6.5 miles, averaged 8:47

PM: Old Standby, shorty version - 5 miles, averaged 8:43

95 degrees, but with a pretty serious breeze and clouds it felt like a fall afternoon...a very warm fall afternoon.

Purdue hills loop - 7.25 miles, averaged 8:40

Old Standby, classic version - 5 miles, averaged 8:47

99 degrees with 40% humidity. Bit of a breeze and temporary respite of cloud cover. I was hoping it would hit 100, so I could write "first triple-digit run." 

AM: Jefferson High School loop - 7.3 miles, averaged 8:39

82 with 68% humidity. Not bad, but not ideal.

PM: Old Standby, shorty - 4 miles, averaged 8:17

Stopped to walk a bit in the first part because of a side stitch and to help a small puppy find its way home (the dog wasn't interested). Got moving toward the end with a half mile at half marathon pace. Going to try some yoga in a few.

Elmwood/Greenbush/Creasy/Union - 6.5 miles, averaged 8:10 

Upper threshold, lower marathon pace mile on the way back down Union. Very windy for this time of year. Thunder showers never seem to shower. 

9th street to the Heritage Trail to 231 to South River road out and back - 12.1 miles, averaged 8:12
