Total Distance
8.60

Slow steamy miles on the trails this morning.  Yesterday was the first day in about 3 weeks that we didnt get any rain.  Temps are expected in the upper 90s today - felt like they were already there during my run this morning. Heading to UNF tomorrow for orientation with Travis.  Nice to already have over 30 miles in this week, since I know not what the next couple days will bring as far as running opportunities.

They're orienting pretty early aren't they?

Slow and steamy is pretty much all you get this time of year. You ever think of doing any climate controlled treadmill running?

They spread the orientation sessions throughout the summer to keep them intimate and make you feel like its a quaint little college.

I fear I would slip deep into suicidal thoughts if I were to spend more than 20-30 minutes on a treadmill. Then again, this whole distance running thing brings on those thoughts for me in general. I'm hoping Lehigh in Sept and then Boston in April will expunge for good my interest in marathoning.

You probably have too many fast twitch fibers.
