| Long work day, ended up in Salt Lake for an overnight and went up to City Creek for a run. It was closed so I cut the run short, way sore anyways from the last 8 days of running so not that depressed about it. |

Had to get the running in I missed yesterday so double ran it today. Problem was that I'm in Atlanta, which was 96 and pretty humid. So I split the run in two, 11.5 miles at first and 9 after a one hour break to cool down. This heat is a kick in the pants! I went through two 64 ounce Big Gulps in one afternoon.
Phoenix for tomorrow and Saturday, both long runs, and forcast at 106... |

16 miles early in Phoenix at 90 degrees but at least no sun in the face. 8 min pace.
4 hours of rock climbing instruction. I am so excited to be learning this new sport (for me). Already climbed a 5.12, two levels from highest.
10 miles late afternoon at 107 degrees. Without a doubt the hottest I have run anything over 5 miles in. Totally fun but had to slow to 9 min pace to deal with it. |

Good ten mile run after church in the 90 degree heat. Acclimized pretty good though, strating at 8 min pace and able to drop down to 6 for the last three miles.
5 mile run in the evening. |

| Long easy run, the last of these since it's time to change to speed training. It's been a lot of fun to just be out running at whatever feels good! It will be hard to change gears now for the next cycle. We are heading up to Canada Thursday, driving the international Selkirk loop and spending a few days on Lake Kootenay doing some trail running. Should be a great trip! |

I have spent 3 days at Yosadhara Ashram, a yoga retreat along lake Kootenay, Canada. Just cool as heck, hiking, swimming, climbing the Rockies up here. No running at all.
One of the most different things I have ever done. |

| Morning doing Hatha ReflectionYoga, afternoon and evening driving and walking through the Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park in Canada. First time I can remember taking time totally away from running for something other than injury. This is amazing country. |

Tempo day back in the real world at the gym at home. 10 miles on the treadmill at 5:42 pace (10.5mph) with the last mile at 12mph.
After lunch went back to the gym with the kids and they played in the pool while I ran the identical workout again. Good to get some miles in at close to half and full marathon pace. I fel pretty strong for Des News even with leaving the running for the last week |

| Spent the day with the kids and their friends at Newton Resevoir. In between everything on the lake I did three four mile runs, easy pace. One in the morning, one afternoon and one evening before we headed home. This morning I was so stinkin sore from yesterday, but it faded right away as the day went by. Checking some of my past runs, the Tempos yesterday were the fastest I've done which helps me relax a little. |

Not much time this weekend for a race report. So I'll update later. Barely made it to the start and had to do a packet pick up also so I had no time for a warm up at all. The kids and I were camping and hurried down for the race and had to leave for Idaho right after so this was kind of squished in, but I needed to get in at least one circuit race and also see if things were holding up at a faster pace than all the trail running lately.
First mile felt great at 5:03 and I was pretty happy that nothing was hurting. Good to be back in it! 2nd mile came by at 5:18 and I was realized that there was only one to go! That happens on the first 5k of the year! But I was wheezing on the last mile and put in about a 5:44! Embarrassing..
Fun race but had to immediately run to the car to make it up to the family event so i missed talking to everyone at the finish. Bummer |

| Sweet trail run all the way up Mt. Logan Peak. Really strong today and so I've decided to run the Des News in the morning. Today was one of my better feeling runs lately. Just really strong! |

8th marathon this year and this one went great. Another one just under 2:40 which seems to be a rut I'm stuck in. I started out really slow today on the down hills and everybody quickly gapped me. There must have been 30 people ahead of me, but I didn't want to be hauling down these hills with the injury this year. It was too dark to look at the GPS but I noticed at mile three the split was 16:38 which was pretty conservative considering the hills. Miles four and five were about the same. This may have cost me a few minutes in total race time since I banked nothing in those miles. At what felt like mile six I looked at my watch and it was gone. It fell off somewhere between five and six. It felt great to just run the rest of the race at whatever felt right. At mile 20 I started picking it up again since I really felt good and I think about turning down State Street I caught up to Albert and passed him. Rob then joined me which was just awesome. I had been alone the whole race. I'm sure that saved me a minute or two, even though Rob kept telling me that the first woman was gaining on me, and yelling at the spectators ahead that he was pacing the first woman so they should start cheering. Then Walter joined us with a mile to go and running with those two just gives you a smile! Now three days until Timp Half and actually pretty excited about putting in some speed. I've been much to slow this year!

| Dropped the kids off this morning after two weeks of time with them without going to work at all. So glad to have a job that has flexibility when we need it. I took a trip to Orange County Ca for a nice afternoon on the beach. Surprisingly I wasn't sore today at all, just some overall deadness in the legs so I ran one of my favorite beach courses, Balboa, Newport, up to Huntington and back down. I'll probably pay for this tomorrow. |

| Started this race with not enough sleep, too much playing the last few days. I immediately fell asleep on the bus and slept the whole way up today. When I got off the bus I had a cramp right in my calf muscle, WTH? Before the race even started... I swapped out of racing shoes and into my 16 ounce "fat man" Kayanos and did a mini warm up. I decided this was what I was running in today. Just too risky 4 days after a marathon to use flats. Once we got going I let the lead group go and instead of hitting the early downhill miles fast, I ran them just under threshold, today that was about 5:25, and I didn't change the pace much through the race. I did catch Walter around 4 miles which came as a surprise since he is just running so well this summer. I also expected to hit a wall with the legs after Des News, but felt great the whole race. What a beautiful half course! |

Spent the day on motorcycles on the Ben Lomond trail, Crest trail, and Ogden Canyon trails with my brothers. Amazing country and a lot of fun. I wrecked pretty good just 3 miles from the end and ripped up my arm pretty bad. Lucky that was all, but shut down any chance of running. We duct taped the largest cuts together and superglued the rest. I'm taking the chance this will be good enough as I don't want to pay $150 for stitches.
So much for running today |

| Went to work with the worst bandaged arm in history. All I had besides the basic bandages was socks, so I cut off the toes of one and slid it up my arm. Actually works pretty good and this morning I was able to get to a Walgreens to pick up some bandages. It's likely that this means I won't run the Outdoor Track Nationals Friday and Saturday in Chicago because I cant really swing my left arm. Did a really slow 11 miler on the best day I have seen in San Fran in a long time. |
