I ran at a time when it had cooled off &#8230; to 84 and humid. The humidity was 67%.  However, despite the humidity, my breathing was really good.  I ran with Elizabeth for about 5 miles before she suggested I break off.  As a result, I finished faster than I started, and I did 8.16 miles in 1:02:41, or 7:40s.  Had I not run with Elizabeth, I probably would have been faster.  But not that she didn&#8217;t give me a workout: She did damn well herself!  She was keeping a solid pace, and her improvement from more than a month ago was measurable and significant.<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/39610823'><\/iframe><br \/>\nIn that last bit before concluding my run, though, I had a bit of a &#8220;blowout.&#8221;  Something happened in my left calf.  It felt maybe like a rip or an overstretch.  It was something I could still run on, but it felt like an injury.  I think I had pushed myself too much or something.  After the run, the discomfort was there, feeling as if I was doing a calf stretch but while walking.  I&#8217;m writing this now from home on 2 ibuprofen and with my left up, a cold pack on the calf.  I hope it&#8217;s okay and doesn&#8217;t feel more serious, but we&#8217;ll have to see because &#8220;things go bump in the night.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, my right ankle still did its thing of feeling sensitive in the beginning but fine during the run.  This run, I had one stabbing feeling but it was in the left ankle instead of the right, and the next stride it was gone.  Elizabeth and I stopped twice for water and Garmin didn&#8217;t quickly register the stoppage, to the tune of about 10 seconds of missed non-running.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the injuries, I actually felt really good in this heat.  My breathing was fine, my legs didn&#8217;t feel tired, and I loved the saunalike feeling the weather provided.  We ran starting around 7:30pm so the day was cooling off a bit and there was a light wind.  All in all, a good run, one I&#8217;m glad I got in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Um, it hit 100 today. I ran at a time when it had cooled off &#8230; to 84 and humid.
