So it’s been a long time since my last entry.  Not all that much new to report. Just hitting the pavement or the treadmill as usual.  The weather has been totally crazy here.  The week of the 11^th was insanely hot.  At one point, it was 97 degrees at 9:30 at night and there was no breeze.  I had to get my runs in early, but even then there were days where it was in the high 80’s by 8:30.  The week of the 18^th however was a different story.  Monday and Tuesday was hot, but I set out for my 10 mile run on Wed morning and I was concerned that I was going to need a jacket.  It was 42 in the morning and did not get up over 75.  It stayed that way through the end of the week and made getting out there much easier.  I ran the 10 mile in 1:42:14.  I did not go out super hard and was able to maintain a 10:14 avg pace.  Best part was that I was not super sore the next day. 

The heat has been back this week, but it was a taper week so it has not been to bad.  The long run for the week was 7 miles so it was nice to get a little bit of a break.  The next two weeks are going to be crazy between the 4^th of July, traveling to Portland to see the Canuck get married (canuckaphobia.wordpress.com), and then heading to Tahoe for a week.  I am hoping to get a few runs in while in Tahoe (the high altitude should do me good).  Although I did watch a guy pass out while running on the treadmill last year.  He came to once he hit the ground.  “The altitude is killer” He said.  “We don’t have altitude like this in Pittsburgh.”  I hope not to be that guy. I’ll keep you posted.
