Hey Brothers,

I have been thoroughly enjoying the weather for most of this summer.  It has really been a great training summer.  Saturday our group did 12 in the Austin/Oak Park neighborhoods.  We started at 7 a.m. and it wasn't bad out but it did get humid for the second 6 miles.  This week I do an 8 and two 5s and then 13.1 on Saturday.  The hard weeks are coming - 14, 16, 18, 20 over the next  6 weeks.  To be honest, I hate these weeks!  Anything over 10 starts getting tedious for me...but hopefully there is a payoff on race day!  Peace!
