It's wonderful that you made it to the last week of your program! Congratulations! Running along the seafront sounds great! I could do it here, but it's about a 15 min. drive to the small beach we have here. It's always harder to run 2 days in a row. I like changing up my route now and then just to see different areas of the neighborhood. It would be nice if I had banks to run, but the land here is very flat.

I did 10K runner today. There are no more intervals, just the 5 min. warmup & cooldown walks and then a 20 min. run. I must have been slow today b/c the program gave me an extra optimized run of 20 min. to make the next day easier (or so it says). During the program, I ran 1.5 miles straight and walked some and then ran another 1.5 miles almost straight with a brief stop at the park water fountain. I walked the rest of the way home, so I ran 3 miles total today In the end, I covered 4.3 miles, which is a bit less than I had been doing, but there were police responding to a fender bender, and they had the road closed along my normal route.

I have to admit though, I cannot wait for cooler weather. OMG, it is so warm and humid even first thing in the morning. The low when I run is around 80 degrees F and today the humidity was 89% according to the weather website. I wish we lived in the Los Angelos area, where H is from. They get a few super hot summer days but the humidity is low and the nights always cool off into the 60s. I've run outside there when we've had visits with my inlaws and the weather there is so nice.

I'm not really losing weight with all this running, but I am toning up a lot, which was my goal when I started this program. Biceps, legs, abs

There are very high chances of rain in the next few days, so I may be forced to take a running break.
