Hey, wow, yesterday, I had a great run! Thought I'd do 3 miles so I'm definitely covered on that distance come October 3rd but, I don't know, something in me just said go farther, go farther; so I did. I ended up doing 6.5 miles, and I felt great up until the last mile. It wasn't very hot, but it sure was humid, and I started to get hungry. Could hear and feel my stomach churning. Was not at all surprised by this given I had doubled the length and time.

Literally, with the humidity, every inch of fabric on me was drenched. Got a little irritated with myself having not brought a towel along but that didn't last long once I was on the move and the air-conditioning was cookin'!

By the time I arrived home, realized I was a bit dehydrated with a headache coming on, so I had more Propel and a diet coke for its caffeine as well as popped a couple ibuprofen. By the time I showered, I knew I'd nipped it in the bud.

The rest of my day was filled with finishing laundry and random chores including a trip to Jone's Bikes in the Shore where I had new pedals with toe cages installed on my bike. Looking forward, with great anticipation, to their use!
