Comments: Rest day, so here are my top five running tips: (1) always wear sunscreen, especially from 10:00-4:00 p.m. (except in #2, next, or at night); (2) run rain or shine to be consistent; some of my most memorable runs have been in downpours; (3) (from Jeff Galloway): remember the "four H's"--heat, humidity, hills, and health; downward adjust expectations and exertion for each as appropriate, depending on the chosen challenge; (4) find an inspiring place to run; nothing kills motivation more (for me) than running flat ovals. I love running along a river bike trail and all the sights and sounds that accompany it; and (5) post about your experiences online; there is a sense of being accountable that reinforces the desire to succeed.
