With the persistent heat wave here on the eastern seaboard, I decided it was a good day for cross training inside at the gym when I saw that the temperature was already 84 degrees at 7:00am this morning! Twenty minutes on the stationary bike and 45 minutes of strength training (upper and lower body) are now behind me so I can plan the rest of my day, which includes visiting friends in New Jersey who have a pool. I'll have a relaxing afternoon and evening and will plan to do my long run tomorrow (Sunday) morning. This will be my first attempt at a 10.0 miles easy run by myself outside. Previously, I've done all of my long training runs indoors on the treadmill. After my week long experience at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, I am now more confident to take those long runs outside. Fortunately, the temperatures are supposed to be tapering off tomorrow so I am expecting to see temps in the lower 70's in the morning.
Safe running everyone!
John
