Pinellas County - Long Run: 11.04 miles, 00:11:22 average pace, 02:05:22 duration
body was a bit worn out today. switched it up to walk-run after about 5 miles because i have a daddy-daughter dance this afternoon and did not want to be too stiff. met another runner who actually only lives about a mile or less from me. maybe i will try to meet with him after my business trip next week.

Pinellas Trail Challenge: 36.30 miles, 00:14:47 average pace, 08:56:28 duration
DNF’d, but had a great time! i could have walked it out the last ten miles and still made the cut-off but after doing the math i would not have been done until about 1900 and we had guests visiting from out of town and i did not want to be even more of a wreck while entertaining. met a lot of great people and happy for the challenge.

i was actually planning on running at a 11:00 or so pace, but felt so good i just kept increasing the pace each ¼ - ½ mile. in my own little world and ended it feeling great. hopefully i am not peaking too early again… just 12 more days until the PTC!

felt great today! temp was down to 78F and 80% RH, but there was an ever so slight breeze so it did not feel sticky. carbo loaded the day before so maybe that had something to do with it too, but i really have not been tracking my nutrition at all. kept it easy the first five or so miles and then bumped it up ever so slightly for the remainder. probably could have gone an even two hours but running on new shoes (hoka mach 6) and really have not broken them in yet. lots of hot spots and a lot of troubleshooting on the go.

not as long as i would have liked. got a late start because, well, i was enjoying the sleep! then i saw at 0500 the rain was not scheduled anymore so i slept in. then it rained!

so this run was hot, no cloud cover, 90% RH and about 90F. it was brutal. but overall had to cut it short due to shivers all over the body. i was not going to push it when i may be overheating.

highlight: raced a youg boy in boca ciega park

Running from Little Debbie: 12.20 miles, 00:10:43 average pace, 02:10:47 duration
was hoping for a breeze or some rain from this tropical depression “debbie” but saw none of that until i had stopped. broke it up in 4 mile blocks and walked a bit to regain composure/heart rate. had some at the end with speed. funny how the only people i saw out today were runners.

i almost did not run this. my legs felt a bit work out and i was a little fatigued as well. my body battery was in the 90s so i looked at what garmin suggested and it told me to take a rest day. then i looked at my calendar for the week and made the call that a rest day could be on another day and to continue with just an easy run.

at the moment i am glad i did but we will see what future me thinks.

easy run on the treadmill today since we have a lot going on and i had to watch the kiddos. split into three 5kms with first and last at about 10:55 pace, and the middle 5km at about a 9:14 pace. nothing crazy, felt good, kept it in the blue and finished it strong.
