| 10 easy miles with AP of 8:56. This is the faster end of my easy pace. Last mile, mile 11, at MP, 8:16. Glad to be done with this now, as it looks like more rain coming! Happy Sunday and Father's Day!

Track workout at 5:30pm. I hate going this late. but once I am there and running, I feel really good. Warmed up, did strides, then did tons of exercises to tire out our legs (squats, lunges, calf raises, and many other weird and torturous things). Then we ran 4 easy miles on tired legs. Had a bit of fun with my friend Pat on the second stride. We had a mini race, and both of us had to work to keep the other from getting ahead. Very exciting. We finished at exactly the same time. I have to admit, it was super fun trying not to let him pass me. A short bike ride this morning, out along the lake, 1 hour out and back. Enjoy the rest of solstice, everyone!

Tiny easy run this morning to wake up; I didn't sleep well, and needed some help! AP was 9:27. There is about 1/2 mile on roads from my house before I am into my trails, and I pass by a pond area. There are deer all over my neighborhood, like rats some places, I guess. Anyway, there is a pair of brand new twin babies that I see every morning near the pond, and they are so adorable! They are also stupidly tame; I am going to bring them something to eat tomorrow - maybe a carrot? What would be a treat if you were a deer? A stupid cute baby deer. Really fun track workout tonight! Tempo intervals. Gotta love that!!! Evening update: Yes!! Track workout was fun. Target pace for tempo is 7:38. My five minute intervals were 7:24, 7:38, 7:36, 7:44, and 7:39. Whoo Hoo!

| More gorgeous summer weather! I decided to do the bike ride and the run back to back, since I was unable to get out to exercise until late today. I had a bit less than an hour and a half to ride, and I had to ride alone, so I tried to push the pace a bit. I finished at the group run meeting spot for the day, and switched quickly to running shorts and shoes. We ran 6 easy miles. My AP was 9:45!! This is really slow for me, but it was great! We were running with a new person, and I thought it seemed rude to just bolt off, so I kept it slow the whole way. I should do this more often. The first mile or so was tough, because I had just got off the bike, and I am not yet used to this transition. After that, I felt like I could have run a half marathon or something. It was about 78 degrees when we finished at 6:20! That is warmer than it has been here yet. |

| NO sleep! I hate when that happens. I was too tired to get up at 4 for the 5am workout with track group. I felt like I hadn't even gone to sleep yet. I was up anyway at 5:30, and made it to the track by 7. The workout was 5X200m hills at .51 and 4X200m flats also at .51. Hills were .52, .55, .52, .53, .52, and flats were .46, .48, .50, .48. Good to be done, but I'm still tired. The schedule calls for a bike ride this afternoon/evening, but I am feeling like maybe that won't happen today. If it does, I'll post later.

| Group run. Warm up with strides, then some easy miles, with 3 marathon miles, then some more easy miles. AP for the whole run was 8:23, so I think I went too fast for some of the easy bits. But Garmin was set for 200m laps and my splits are in 200m, so its hard to tell what was going on. Good run. I went after the run to the lake, where our bike club was working at a triathalon event. We fixed bikes for the racers for awhile. Off to Seattle now for a friend's graduation party. |
