AM

Weather - 62 degrees, cloudy, humid.

4 easy miles at Peninsula Park. Felt ok, legs not sore, but energy is finally beginning to wane. Will probably run 4 more this evening.

First day of humidity here, I sweated more in 4 miles than my 18 mile long run a few days ago.

After the run 3 sets of strength exercises and some stretching.....

PM

Weather - 75 degrees, sunny.

Recovered nicely for the evening run, ran 7 miles at Peninsula Park. Legs a bit weary from the higher than usual mileage, but no soreness. 

After the run jumped in Nicolet Bay to cool the legs.

Great week of running! You have had some bigs days this week. I'm also feeling the humidity here in Indy. Hope we get a break soon.

Jim - This was my best week of running this year. Double runs every day and never got sore or run down. I am looking forward to a decrease in mileage this week, it will be fun to feel my legs getting stronger as each day passes.

Considering you had some days where your sleep was not sufficient, you did a good job working with what your body allowed. Once you get back to 8 hours of sleep per night, your energy will be higher and running will feel easier - keep up the good training!
