I have been spending a lot of time outside. Usually after work, around 5pm I'll spend quite a bit of the sultry, humid evenings outside....basically because I love Summertime! I have been running early and this has been wonderful, too...the early morning in Summer is amazing! The haze, sounds, peace of a country road...man, nothing beats it!
Today as I took out for my EZ day I felt a surge of energy! I haven't really felt this for a long time; strength, confidence, a desire to RUN!! The intense humidity finally brought me back to reality because after 20 minutes of the best running I've had in a while I was back to survival mode:) My body has adapted to the heat! I am also amazed that my achillies has not said a thing today! It's acting like it's totally healed...not yet ole buddy, not yet. I will stick with my plan to train specific for a 5K then assess the current reality. 40 minutes of good running today! My goal is 195 minutes this week, so I'm needing 105 more minutes....Peace!

You, my friend, love summer more than any other runner I know! At least someone is enjoying it. GREAT news on the achilles!
Ah, you're loving your summer, I can tell. You're also enjoying your running, it's contagious. Thanks, Mark.
