Per request, I'm logging my spiritual alumni run! Ran down to Fletcher's early this AM to at least retrace a few of the steps from past alumni runs. Run down along canal was abominably hot and I felt like sewage. I saw Max Scherzer though! Walked around in the parking lot for a bit, hoping that I would see someone, but that wasn't to be. (Also IDK why but I remembered the Alumni Run being on Sunday. Clearly that was wrong though.) Then returned via CCT, which was also awful. Still it wouldn't be the alumni run without brutal heat and humidity.

In any event, was nice to do this. I guess I'll add a little bit of what I was up to this summer too. I had an online internship that kept me very busy, but I got in some decent running, probably about 25 miles a week. For the last two weeks I've been on vacation in Acadia. Running there was very good. I think I'll be in the low 30's mileage wise until I go back to school (fingers crossed) after Labor Day. Then I'm looking to be in the mid 40's for the fall, with probably one 50 mile week thrown in. I've taken the pandumbic and used it to experiment with a bunch of different running-related things (more mileage, new shoes, etc.) so I feel like it has been a productive 6 months of running. As always, I'm available for runs, so if any of y'all wants to run, just let me know!
