7 miles
Ran alone near my house in Southport, all roads.
I ran at a pretty good pace 6:40 which is faster than I normally go.
I really don't know why I went faster than normally, it might be because it was Friday night and I started my run at 8:30 because I went to Gary, IN for work to cover the Michael Jackson story.
Weather humid, 85

Ran in Mitchell by myself on the roads
Weather was great, I ran at 6 am

I got up at 6 to go run because I was driving to Cleveland for a 4 of July party with my gf. This is when I hate to be a runner. My body is saying go back to bed but my mind is saying mo mo isn't going back to bed shirmer isn't taking a day off. So that is what motivates me to get going. It is also real nice to have the run out of the way.

I love running in the country. I saw the sun rise and 4 rabbits. I also saw Amish going into town.

Ran on a road near Erin's house in Ohio.
Weather great, 65
It was all roads, and rolling hills. Body felt ok.
My left hamstring was bothering me the last 4 miles.

That last two days I have ran with the sun rising and today I ran with the sun setting. It has been a great weekend.

Here is a question I will answer tomorrow so come back and see what my answer.

What has been my favorite spike to wear during Cross Country.

Ran on the toe path by Butler with Tony and Disher.
It was a ok run I didn't feel great. I have been pretty tired this week.

I would have to say my favorite workout has to be a long tempo. I love going to the cemetery in TH and running a 5-6 mile tempo.

8 miles
Ran around my house in Southport
Very hot
I wore sunscreen on my face cause I have been getting to much sun on my face
In the middle of the run the sunscreen would stop getting n my eyes. so I stopped and tried to use my shorts to wipe the sunscreen out of my eyes but I am to tall and I couldn't get down that low. so I decided to use some water to wash my eyes out with because I could barely see. The only water I had was the spit, so yes I spit in my hands and rubbed in my eyes to make it stop burning which it did.

So I know you are thinking why would you do that Eric. Well you had to be there it was hurting so bad. I bet you are also asking yourself, why is he telling us this. Well because I am a great guy. One last thing I know you guys are thinking why did it get in your eyes don't you have that sunscreen that doesn't run. I did but I ran out and now I am using some stuff I got from Dish that is not to be used when running trust me I found out the hard way.
