No more Olympics

So sad!  They ended with a good bang though, a very thrilling marathon.

1.5 miles yesterday with the dog, and 6 miles today on the treadmill in about 61 minutes.  We slept in too late for a long run--the temps rose to 35 C or so--and so I decided to run 8 miles on the treadmill, but the air was bad.  After twenty minutes, I decided to aim for 6 instead; after forty minutes, I decided to run the remainder as a tempo run.  I think the effort was actually below tempo effort although I chose the same tempo pace as before.   The poor air quality and the effect it had on my breathing dissuaded me from trying out a faster pace.
