    11 hours of working today, legs still very sore from squats, and a 100 degree heat index combined for a VERY short run today.  Just two miles.  And every step was miserable.  It was the kind of humidity and heat that just sucked your breath away when you went outside.

    So this afternoon was my first “official” long run of my marathon training.  I’ve laid out a calendar using Hal Higdon’s Novice 1 program.  I counted backwards from November 6th, so today was the 9 mile run.

    Ran 5.25 miles tonight in 47:05.  Temp a few minutes after the end is 88 degress and 66% humidity with a head index of 99.  I don’t know that it felt 99 when I was out there, but it did feel pretty dang humid.  Some pain in my shins which I’ll attribute to the heat…

    Tonight I went to the YMCA to do a little weight lifting, then ran 3.5 miles.  My legs are feeling pretty good.  It was on the warm side, but not that unpleasant.

    Got the goodies in from Running Warehouse. I love the Nike Tempo 2 in 1 shorts with their boxer / compression short type liner. Really stops any chafing. I have a similar Adidas Climacool shirt that I also like. I haven’t tried the socks before but they feel nice enough.

    It was about 78 degress with a 73 dew point this morning when I headed out for my 6.47 miles run.  1:00:20 later, and it’s 81with a 75 dewpoint, making it feel like 88 with 80% humidity.  Yes, miserable! The good news? My legs weren’t in pain!

    Just a short run tonight after I mowed the lawn and before I went to the YMCA for a few minutes of weight lifting.  My calves felt very tight on the run.  Friday is a day off.  Whew!

    Running Warehouse emailed me a coupon for 25% off sale stuff.  I’m a sucker for a sale.  So I ordered some new shorts, socks, and a shirt.  The shirt wasn’t in the sale section, but it was already reduced.  Should have my goodies by Friday.  Ordering from them is quick and easy!  Check em out!
