Very nice run today with Keith, Jorge, & Victoria in Balentrea. The temp was actually comfortable but humid as always. I didn't start squish squashing until about mile 4 when Victoria perceptively said, "you're squishing." For a moment I considered pointing the finger to Keith who, I'm almost positive, began squishing at the first water stop; and then I realized he was behind us with Jorge so I just owned up to it. After all, it was another sweaty, humid Florida morning run.

Our post run was the best. Showered off, jumped in a beautiful pool and had fresh brewed coffee and whole what bagels. It's how all of life ought to be... Thanks Victoria for the hospitality.

My plan was to finish the week with 40 miles but I got behind early by missing my Tuesday twofer evening run. Depending on how I feel this evening I may do an easy 5 just to finish with 35. The rest of my month ought to average out to 40/week.

Nice way to end the week. Victoria and Jorge always seem to have good refreshments afterward. Not too bad that you only got 30 in this week, just keep trying and stay consistent and you'll do great.
