Easy Weds run

RUN 6.2 miles in 56-57 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 9.6 miles

Note the extra 0.1 in the bike commute. Rode an extra block to look for the Earbud I lost walking the dog. Triathletes....

Goal today was easy 6 miles with a few pickups. I'm skipping tomorrow's group run, might swim instead, that leaves me resting until Saturday's 50K. It was an easy pace, but dang it was hot and humid. More bothered by the humidity (how's that saying go again...it's not the heat...lol) as I was dripping with sweat in just a mile or two. And of course I didn't bring my handheld so I just targeted every water fountain in TGP instead. Felt good, but kinda sloppy like my form wasn't clean and perky. Makes sense, that's why I'm resting.

The right Earbud thing still bothering me, only that ear falls out and it probably doesn't help that I'm sweating so much. So I took the right one out in the last 2 miles, then when walking the doggie I lost it! But I had an idea of where it would be -- where I pulled the phone out to pick another pod -- and successfully recovered it on my commute. Luckily it's a bright green and stood out in the sidewalk weeds!

My commute in was not like the run, already the temps dropped from 88F to 77F with a front moving in. I had an eastern tailwind! Not sure I get many of those ever! Rain most of the afternoon and happily little to none of it hitting Peoria at the race site.
