Instead of the Chicago area, this was in the Milwaukee area…

Could not resist the beauty of the lake. As Natasha started unpacking her luggage and setting her dorm room up, I went back to the car, quickly changed and went for a run by the lake. After the run, came back to check on Tasha who had already set her room up neatly. With nothing much to add, I bid her goodbye hoping to put in another run when I come to pick her up…

Summer is here!! We have youngsters and not so youngsters joining us for our run. The youngsters found a convenient place to take rest as the adults were finishing up their runs!!

The idea was to put in a heat run to build endurance. So, at 2
PM, as the thermometer crossed 90 degrees, I hit the trail for a 10K run. Was working up a good sweat when suddenly out of nowhere came these bunch of clouds followed by some sharp showers. All that was left was a thoroughly drenched iPhone and self and near 100 percent humidity!!!

Stretched the long run a little more to 25K (15.6M) today. Samantha and Lia, you would be proud of me that instead of running and walking, I ran the whole distance today. As a result, I am three toenails short of full count 🙂

Went for a quick 5K run before office calls started. Delighted by mid fifties temperature, the sun hidden by a cloud cover and relatively flat roads and dry conditions, I picked up my speed a bit.

In under fifteen minutes, I was reminded of how our geography teacher in eighth grade Mrs. Bhowmic had painstakingly explained why oxygen level and height from mean sea level are negatively correlated for a given location 🙂

I am wiped out!
