| 5:00 a.m. at the gym for 40 minutes of elliptical. Avoiding the cycles until my sore tailbone starts feeling better. 6:15 p.m. 5 mile run. A tad cooler, but high humidity for Utah. Through town up into Middle Canyon a bit and then back home. |

5:00 a.m. at the gym for 40 minutes. 20 minutes elliptical and 20 minutes cycling (10 upright + 10 recumbent). 5:30 p.m. 5 mile run. Hills in Settlement Canyon. Worked on form and cadence a bit. I've always been an over-strider. Still only hitting 176 strides per minute even when concentrating on it. Usually slower rate than that is my norm. Got home just before the thunder storm. Raining pretty good right now here in Tooele.

| 5:00 a.m. at the gym for 40 minutes. 20 minutes elliptical and 20 minutes upright cycle. 6:15 p.m. 5 mile run to mouth of Middle Canyon and back. Back cramping in both calf muscles the last half coming back. Probably dehydration. Didn't drink much today. Could also be a result of the antibiotic I was on until yesterday. Susceptibility to tendon problems is one of the warnings, although they say typically the achilles tendon. I'm really sore in both calf muscles, so I'm icing and stretching and using some moist heat, so hopefully it will help. Otherwise, more rest whether I like it or not. Otherwise feeling better from last week's illness. I've never missed 4 consecutive days of work in my life. |

5:00 a.m. 40 minutes at the gym 20 min. elliptical and 20 min. upright cycle. 8:00 p.m. 4 miles. Slow and a bit sluggish. Through the creek bottom past the Scout Wig-wam. Back to the high school via the alley and back home via the track. Nice warm evening. Feel like I'm in Arizona. One more day of near 100 and then it's supposed to cool down going into next week.
