10 mile run this morning in yukky soupy hot overcast weather... and that was leaving at 6.30am! It was already 85 degrees when I left. 1031 calories, 1 hr 48 mins. Nowhere near one of my better runs, but I did it.

As soon as I got home, my daughter said "Dad, can we go a bike ride?". It's been so long since she wanted to do that, so... off we went. I grabbed a quick shower, a banana, a glass of water, and right back out again. Nice and leisurely along the river path though... 3.7 miles in 35 mins, so not hard, just hot and humid. Ilaria was pooped, but as soon as she got in the car to come home, she said, "Daddy, can we go swimming today?" LOL Now I'm a dedicated dad, but she went swimming yesterday, and she'll be going swimming with camp tomorrow, so... no sweetie, we're staying home for the rest of the day

OMG Where have I been for the lats week or so?!? Been forgetting to log workouts

So Monday was a leg and arms workout day (can;t remember what I did now!)

Tuesday was a 5k run in 27 minutes, hot and humid.

Wednesday - went to the gym after work, got undressed in the locker room, realized had put two shirts in my bag instead of one shirt and one shorts so had to get dressed again and headed home!
