AM- 4.6 easy miles

Beautiful morning. My younger sister joined me, she's much more enjoyable to be around now that we're older.

Today is the beginning of my 2 month slower running base period. If all goes to plan I will be working up from 35 to 65 miles per week by the end with a long run of 16 miles. I should be around 150 pounds by then too.  Then the harder stuff will begin.

PM- 4.2 before dinner

Played golf in the morning at Soldier Hollow with my dad, bros and one of my bro-in-laws. Did not have my "A" game today.

Jogged to the Homestead and up to the entrance of the Wasatch golf course. Temp was in the low 90s.

I've enjoyed watching the Tour de France this year, I record each stage and fast forward to the last 10 miles or until there's a crash.  Otherwise it's a 4.5 hour commitment.

PM 4.6 hot miles

Went to Sugarhouse Park with Jing after work and did a loop around the Millcreek area. Felt like crap for two miles then was fine.

5 easy morning miles, muggy weather!

5k loop after dinner. Still hot outside.

This week is a cutback week, my past 3 weeks have been 40, 46 and 52 even though the graph says otherwise. Planning on 40 this week and then I will bump it up again next week.

AM:  Slept in until 730 so kept it short and sweet. 5K loop

PM: 5 miles, I had to pick it up for .25 just to make sure I can still run quicker than 8 minute pace.

Good luck to all the Des News 10K and Marathon runners tomorrow. I can't wait to check out the 10K next year.

Early 5k loop. Heading out to Timpanogos, don't worry Crockett, your record is safe. My little bro is getting hitched in the Timpanogos temple today. Congrats to him! My day will consist of hanging out, babysitting, and checking for Olympic updates/reading Letsrun posts.

Have a good Friday all!

After dinner stroll. 

Warmed up for 2.25 miles then did one kilometer in 3:20 followed by a .5 mile jog and another kilometer in 3:17. Cooled down for 3 miles.

Can't believe that July is almost over.
