July 28, 2014

Dawn Patrol. Back at it again after almost three weeks of downtime. Previous run was on July 9, 2014 at the Villa Olimpica in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. From there we moved on to the North Coast and Roatán for a couple of weeks. I wisely decided to eat and drink everything in sight, so now I must contend with weighing in at 207 lbs. (My fighting weight has historically been in the low to mid-190s.) Today ushered in yet another incarnation of the "post-holiday period of intense dedication." Hopefully, this will last until Christmas. Slow and low this morning. Completed the five-mile (5.03) campus loop in 52:23 for a 10:25 mile/minute average pace. Slow, even by my standards. Weather was a bearable 68 degrees Fahrenheit with the humidity in the 80% range. Moving forward, Mon-Wed-Fri and Sat will be running days, while Tues and Thurs will be gym days. Sunday off to recuperate. This, as usual, should be fun. Mahalo.
