First day of the new training session! Four easy miles, although halfway through I increased my turnover rate. Which then confused my Nike iPod sensor since it's used to my plodding longer strides. The Nike+iPod was a birthday gift from Alan, which totally rocks since it lets me know how I'm doing pace-wise.
The first mile of the run was with my lovely wife, who is taking part in her first triathlon in less than two weeks. She is quite the woman! We will run the Kansas City Half-Marathon together on October 18th, and then Alan and I will run the Route 66 Marathon in Tulsa on November 16th. Those are my goals this year, and after running a half in Dallas in April I think that's a pretty good year.
The temperature today was supposed to be in the upper 90's with a heat index of 105. Fortunately we had cloud cover all day, a little rain this morning, and a nice evening for a run. Let's hope I'm this lucky for the next sixteen weeks.
