AM: heat advisory continues.  I actually occluded my ear canal with sweat today.  Would be pretty funny if I got swimmers ear from running.

PM: scary hot, gotta start getting 2 runs in a day soon.

Ugh. long run 99 degrees absolute, plus 2-3 for heat index (which is better than it has been).  Was only trying to go 11 but took a wrong turn and only figured it out after at least half a mile out.  Died horribly at mile 10 and ran/walked it in. Was terribly dehydrated.

PM: so im in nashville, tn right now and doing an away rotation at vanderbilt.  My dad went to med school here and his best friend from med school is a doctor here.  So I went out to Jim's lake house and wind surfed, water skied, did something called the humperdinker (way too long of an explanation), and swam.  This was a ridiculous amount of exercise.  I drank 8-9lbs of liquid replacement.  But no run :(

AM: 5 kinda cool out, very nice.  Im back in the swing of things after my 2-3 week sabatical.  I didn't stop running entirely but definitely was down and out.  And ate horribly.  That rotation at UAB just destroyed me mentally.  But I just need to pick up the pieces as best I can and move on.  I will try to hit decent mileage this week (like 65-70) to then up to 80 next week.  The following week I am going to france with my family so even if I am super hardcore I probably wont get more than 70 in but thats fine.  Then back to providence and a more normal routine.  I doubt I will get any workouts in until I get back there. Right now I just need to build back some mileage and lose the weight I gained recently. Haven't weighed myself in that time so who knows... But I'll work it out.

Oh also the damn half marathon is full and despite an email begging the director it is a no go.  So we are gonna have to find a different one (Im hoping a little later in the season so I can catch up with my weight and fitness).
