Another warm day in Seattle. Despite my hatred for running in the heat, I waited until the warmest part of the day today to run my 16 miles (6:39 pace). Whether I like it or not, I will need to be prepared to run in the heat so I can at least do my easy runs in it.

On track for my only me second ever 100+ mile week. Last time I did it in seven days not six and managed to get injured in the process. So I will be monitoring things very closely.

I crossed the 500-mile threshold with my Adrenalines so they are officially retired. Time to crack open my Trance 8s.

congrats on approaching the 100 mile mark. i am amazed that some of you guys can run that much. be careful so you don't get injured. i am floating around the 40-50 mile a week mark and it feels like i am running allthe time. good luck.

I did my long run today on Mercer Island and in Coal creek, both heavily forested and so you can beat the heat. There must be tons of great trails in snoqualmie.
