PM: 5.04 miles BB to HC Had mama drive me to the lighthouse and I ran back. 7:10 pace into the wind. I didn't feel like I was working hard. Didn't really check which way the wind was blowing so I ended up running 5 miles right into a very strong headwind. Caught up with Dad running his run about a mile from home. Good run but running on one side of the road left my hip feeling tight. I need to chill on the pace and go slow tomorrow. I want to make sure to get in my recovery days.

PM: 5.11 miles Island O&B 7:14 down LBI blvd. Not the most interesting run but it was flat and cool and there were a good many runners out. Just got rolling and felt good. If I ever owned a summer home I'd get one on LoveLadies. Nicest place ever.

PM: 5.01 miles JC Watefront 7:36 pace around JC at dusk. 2.5 out and back. Perfect weather, felt great. Stride was easy and I just flowed around the waterfront.
Good mtg with the Club. Had dinner, met some of the club runners, toured the club. Saw Doub Troubs and had a nice convo with him. Hopefully this will be a good sponsership experience.
I love coming to NY. Just being in the city recharged my batteries. The downside was I missed my stop and ended up in Brooklyn and I tore up my feet in a pair of new heels. Damn dress code.

PM: 6.68 miles Reverse Phantom 7:48 pace. My legs felt heavy. Decided to zone out and ended up having a pretty decent run. Legs felt great once I was done.
NYC running scene tomorrow.

PM: 4.12 miles Trudge Run Ran around 4 miles late at night. There really isn't any place to run in my town let alone at 10 at night so I just looped through my neighborhood blocks till I got something resembling mileage. Not a terrible run as it had cooled off significantly and I was able to run without worrying about cars. I thought I was moving faster than 7:55 pace but I guess not. Just felt like that moving through the dark streets.
Went out earlier in the evening and bumped into an old guy I knew growing up. Tried to explain what I was doing with my life. I should have just saved my breath and beat my head against the closest wall. It was terrible having to explain my running to someone who got competitive about it while devaluing it at the same time.
"I try to qualify for nationals meets."
"My daughter ran the diabetes 5k and finished in the top 2,000."
Conversation over. Where do you go from there?

PM: 5.75 miles Cypress Loop Run started out fine. Around 7:30 pace. I didn't realize there was a heat advisory in affect for NJ or that the humidity returned until I was half way out there. My stride became so pained and overworked that I stopped in the park for 5 minutes to get some water and stretch. I took my time getting back home and avg. 8:05 pace. I hate running in the summer.
