Two hot-as-blazes running days… Monday we were all still a little tired from Saturday’s 18-miler (unsurprisingly), but were also remarkably consistent, which was nice. Even despite the rain which (naturally) hit right at the turn-around spot, yay. It wasn’t too bad aside from one really huge burst, but it only lasted about a minute and was otherwise just sprinkling.

Today was just me and Mark, and unfortunately Mark wasn’t feeling it. A combination of not much sleep and heat started wearing him down more and more as we ran, and I ended up running the last half mile by myself. It’s hot out (I’d really be pleased if it was just in the 80s for a change) and I’d already knocked out 4.5 (slower) miles, but going over the last little hill before the basketball courts just felt good.

That said, the puddle of water around Mark after we were done from him just standing in one place? Hysterically funny!
