Was travelling to my sister's house in W. Lafayette, so unable to run yesterday. Got 9 in this morning @ 10min pace.

5 miles out on the track w/wife and kids.  My wife's signed up for the Philly 1/2 and got a little speedwork in today.  Most of our girls got in 2 miles and I did a very slow 5 miles.

I'm due for a "Big Workout", but the constant heat is beginning to get to me.  Started out on the track this morning at 6:25 am and it was already 83 degrees.  Warmed up 2 miles, did 3.5 sets of 800's (2:57,2:53,2:55,85 sec) and realized I was completely wiped out by the heat.  Shut things down and went back home- 5 miles total.   I may not be able to get a second run in the evening due to family cookout scheduled. 

Did 4 miles with my wife in 96 degree heat and then finished off another 5.5 on my own- 9.5 total @ about a 9min pace.
