| Elmhurst, IL. 6+ miles at 5:30 a.m. 2 miles warm up over to York High School track. 3x800 in 3:23, 3:24, and 3:19. Back to the weekly Yasso 800's. This is the same track shown in the movie "The Long Green Line" about 80 year old Coach Joe Newton and his cross country running team. He's had 26 state championships in 50 years of coaching. Amazing! It's a great documentary. He gets nearly 200 kids out for cross country every year. Flying out early tomorrow, so probably won't get a run in. When we get home we have turn around and go back in to SLC for the McCartney concert and then all the fun is done and it's back to the office. |

| 5 miles from house to 2.5 miles in Settlement Canyon. 11:45 a.m. in nearly 90 degree temperatures. But...it's dry heat, as they say. It did feel good to be back home and out of the heat AND humidity of upstate New York and Chicago. 45:36, average pace 9:07. Paul McCartney concert later tonight and back to the office tomorrow. |

5 miles at 5:10 a.m. 47:55, quite slow. Only 4 hours sleep. (Got home quite late from the McCartney concert, which was excellent. 68 years old and the dude played for nearly 3 hours, non-stop, no intermission, no warm-up band, It was fantastic!)
Left knee bugging me a bit this morning. Cooler temperature felt good. 2nd run tonight planned if Planning Commission runs short.
5 mile tempo run at 7:45 p.m. in 40:09, 8:02 average pace. Splits: 8:15, 8:03, 8:18, 7:55, 7:36. 75 degrees. Felt decent. A good run. |
