It was getting warm. Squishy shoes. Had another conversation with my dad. Not sure if it landed, but I did manage to change my HR monitor battery and wash the strap.

Lunch: 4 miles barefoot on tar, averaged 11:07. HR 125.

Did not want to run this morning. Accumulating hangovers and general funkery. Decided to run barefoot on the lawn, but that was boring, so I took to the tarmac. They just resurfaced my parents’ road. It’s very smooth and you can see most of the rocks, though there really aren’t many. I kept going but cut off at 4. I enjoyed it a good deal.

 

It’s pretty rare that I get to run barefoot, even more rare that I run on tar (for all the obvious reasons).

 

Still very muggy here. We head home Friday.

PM: 7.9 miles, averaged 8:13. HR 156.

We stayed outside of Buffalo NY last night and got in around 5:00 today. Much better breaking up the trip.

Late: AIS, PT routine, and pushups.

Neglected all of these during travel and my hip has backslid a bit. Not terrible, but I am noticing it.
