PM- "Long Run" for 12 miles ending with a pickup in pace to 6:33 and 6:26 on a downhill stretch for the last half mile.  Felt like dog crap in the first 6 miles but after some water at the park things started getting better.  

I remember when 6:30s were easy pace..

Took today off.  At work plus finishing installation of a new power transformer for a late 1930s radio. I was fortunate to find a unit from our friends in Canada at Hammond Transformer.  Originally designed for use in guitar amplifiers.. With some adjustment in dropping the line voltage it worked like a charm:)

Out for 6 miles this morning at a snail pace:)  Yesterday's workout definitely felt in the legs today.  Looking at some ways and nutrition for better recovery.  

    Family headed out for a visit tomorrow with relatives out of state. However having a new job and taking vacation was just not an option this time..  Who knows maybe it will give me some time to catch up on things and possibly get in some trail running:)

AM-Long run for 13 miles with the last 4 miles at steady state to MP effort.  6:30-40ish for the closing miles.

Easy 6 miles with a pickup in pace on the last 2 miles.  The plan is to run longer runs around ninety minutes plus at 75-80% mhr three times a week with other days being short and easy.   Back to the Lydiard style of training for a while:)

12 miles with alternate efforts.  Draper via parkway/7th out and back.  80 degrees felt somewhat toasty but manageable. Time to change up my runs to something a little earlier i'm thinking.  It makes for good heat adaptation though so thats a plus..

AM-5 miles easy recovery jog. 7th/ob.  Went out on a meditative sort of run and got some insight about where I want to go with the future.  Kind of a mid-life epiphany of sorts you could say.

AM-Easy 6 miles today.  Sped up to 6:30 pace at the end..  Felt great today and set a good tone before church.  I couldn't help but remembering the words of Jesus;  "The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath".  

PM- No run.

Middle LR for 15 miles total. Out to Draper and back via parkway. Union Park easy laps after. Dehydration left the run a little compromised. Still better than the last one though.

Easy-steady 10 miles on the parkway o/b.  Saw a big old snake in the middle of the road sunning itself. I don't think it was a rattler.  But wow it still took me a little by surprise and I almost had to change my shorts afterwards..
