9:00 AM - 9 Miles - 60 min
Fells - East Side w/ Carter and Maloney
Very humid again today, started off feeling pretty sluggish in the first mile or so but loosened up nicely and felt pretty comfortable throughout the run. Had planned on running 70-75 min but decided to cut it shorter due to the heat. Kept things pretty low key today, did some cleaning around the house and watched more World Championships coverage.

Less than planned but it's still early!
Lastly, I just want to mention again what an amazing performance Kara Goucher had in the 10,000 meters yesterday. Her 3rd place finish was the highest by an American at that event in World Championship history. Prior to this, the US has only had 4 major championship medal appearances in any distance above 5000m. The others were Marianne Dickerson (83 WC - Marathon), Joan Samuelson (84 Olympics - Marathon), Lynn Jennings (92 Olympics - 10,000), and Deena Kastor (2004 Olympics - Marathon). So this is huge for US distance running and Kara deserves every second of this glory. Many more races to look forward to this week so let's hope this is just the beginning of USA success in Osaka.
