7/17
14 miles

I awoke at 5am with the intention to beat the heat and run 19 miles. I checked the temp on my phone and it was already 80 degrees out and very humid. After the 1st mile I knew it was going to be very difficult. I was soaked by mile 3. I took some water at mile 5 and finished my bottle at mile 7 with a gu. I shoes were heavy with sweat and squising by mile 8. I basically crawled into the dorms at mile 12 and changed shorts, socks, and shoes. Went out for 2 more miles before calling it quits... Gross!

7/16

93 degrees and super humid in Fargo. Kept it super easy today after flying all night. Tired....

Ran from Skinny Mini to Kincaid park with Jerry. Nice to get on some trails. Took awhile to start feeling good. Beautiful day in Anchorage. Leave for Fargo tonight.
