1730 hrs. Hot (87 degrees Fahrenheit, 31 degrees Celsius) with 25% humidity. Trail Running Bliss continues with this, the 7th run of the cycle. Doctor's orders keeping me to two runs per week for two months is allowing me the time to get back into the groove without overdoing it. It feels good to be back on the trail. Forgive me if I repeat myself. Building mileage and lung capacity are always a good thing. Lithium Mix on the Box. Completed the 4.48 miles in 51.47 for an 11:34 minute per mile pace. Mahalo.
