Pieces of 8 Miles



For all you young people out there, the picture above is from Styx's "Pieces of 8" album from way back when. I dont expect many of you to even know who they are...but they were one of my favorites growing up.

A very early, and a very hot 8 mile run from home today.

Got up at 5 am in order to beat the heat and complete 8 miles from home this morning. I missed my training run this weekend with the team, but was priveleged to attend Brian and Belle Moon's Wedding instead!

The run this morning went well for 2 miles. The next 1.5 miles were terrible. My allergies kicked in and I was badly winded. The next 2 miles were on the high school track and the final 3 miles were better.

The heat for early in the morning was bad. I remember last year writing about how fun it is to run in the Summer Heat.

But all in all, I am happy to have finished and look forward to another 2 runs of 3 miles this week and a recovery run this Saturday.

Donations have been phenominal once more as I have surpassed $11,500 and am on my way to $12,000.

Thank you again for your support!
