Another lovely (90+ degree!) run at Forest Park with Kasey and her dog.  Her boyfriend and Cooper joined us too this time.  Cooper was in heaven, despite the heat.  Very technical trails and was so steep - I was breathing so hard!  Our time was 37:xx so like 11 minute miles that felt very hard.  Had to cross several fallen trees, and was very narrow single-track the whole time.  Love it!  I want to get into more trail running.  

Then did 35 minutes on the recumbent bike (in the AC-ed house!) while I read my book, plus some lunges and such.
