| Took a friend up near Breckenridge to run the Decalibron Loop, a 9 mile trail starting at 11,000 feet that summits four 14,000 foot mountains. The altitude pretty much shut her down after the first 14er but she kicked butt up that one! I finished off the run in Denver in the evening. Hope to make this run over the weekend between work trips. |

| Long run out of Cleveland south along Lake Erie and back. Amazing day to run at just 70 degrees on the 4th of July at two in the afternoon.
Interesting that Sasha's blog has ads for "Search Asian Beauties" and "Chat Free with New Thai Ladies".

| Intense trail run after work near Breckenridge, CO. 13 miles starting at just above 11,000 feet summiting four 14,000 foot peaks in a loop. Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln and Bross. I hit the sunset on each one. The most beautiful run I have ever done. Bar none.

| Too many runs lately at trail pace and needing one without severe uphills so I had my son drive Walter Brown and me up to about the 8,500 level on Mt Logan in the afternoon. We ran to Right Hand Fork and over to Crimson Trail, hooking up with Logan River Trail to come out the canyon, and up to my house. Nice gradual downhill and we averaged 6:07 miles through the first 6. Much faster than anything I have done in a while and it felt good. Super hot coming into the Logan Canyon trails though and we kept stopping briefly to hold our heads in the river. I was happy to see 6:30 average through 17 miles. Downhill but on trail. The last four killed us. Just could not keep up with water trying to run fast. Two of these miles were over 8 min pace. |

| Easy run with the kids. Pretty cool to have the kids old enough now that they are faster on scooters and bikes than me running. No more waiting. Just dropped below 165lbs for the first time in a year. Maybe I should take this opportunity and get in shape... |

| 2.5 hours surfing The Rock and the Zipper, Costa Azul, Cabo. Then got in a seriously hot run. I averaged 9 minute pace for this today and was working it. Heat and running do not mix for me. Three days to waste here without any work to do. Love this job sometimes...

| Hottest day of running ever, including Grand Canyon stuff. Ran 5 miles early morning before the sun was up in Cabo. Then out on Old Mans surf line up I was talking with a local in between breaks and he said that he did buggy and motorcycle rentals out along Baja. We did some talking and after lunch he picked me up in a dune buggy with a cooler that I put a dozen Diet Cokes in and drove me 15 miles out into the desert mountains. I stashed Diet Cokes and Chips Ahoy along the way. 103 degrees today, with some humidity, and hit like a brick oven. I went through eight 20 ounce Cokes and still barely made it back. Very slow in the heat, clocking 9:10 average pace.

| Weekend cut short in Mexico since I had to relocate a plane back up to Chicago this morning. Guess that's work but I really enjoyed getting paid to do nothing. Good run in Schiller Woods East Chicago but very sore. |

| Trail run BST to Crimson. Finally pulling the running together, first time it's felt right in over a year. Going to stay with the long easy runs for a few weeks and get stronger. |

| Long run from Trenton along the Delaware Canal State Park Trail. Once again, can't believe how incredible this trail is. 60 miles of soft trail with cool stuff to see the entire way. Ran through Jersey up into New Hope, Pennsylvania. Another run through history today going by John Fitch's gun shop, the old Hessian troop barracks, the museum at Washington Crossing, and the unknown soldier's graves of the Continental Army at Thomson Neely,
The run felt good, averaged 7:53 pace. Soft and fat like the Pillsbury doughboy but getting stronger.

| Coldwater Canyon above my house climbing up to the 8,700 level. An interesting day to say the least. About a year ago I noticed a dramatic decrease in my ability to train any speed. Actually in my ability to recover from hard training. I pretty much attributed it to overtraining. I just shifted gears into some other things like more trail running and picked up surfing. Really didn't miss the road stuff that much, there was just so much else to do. In March I had a series of blood work done for a new life insurance policy. The tests came back with some issues, markers I guess for bacterial infections in the blood. White count through the roof. So over the last several months when I had a spare hour, I've been back in for more tests. Hate doctors and stuff. Last week I got a call from the specialist that they had a fairly good idea it was Lyme disease. What? Sure enough today results were back and it's a 99.9% So I'm on some kind of antibiotic from hell now, along with a few other things. I've no idea if this affected my running. But I do know that as serious runners we tend to know our bodies better than the average person. If you know something is off, you better get it checked out. This process of getting rid of this from my system will take a few months. Would have been much quicker a year ago. |

| First race in a long time it seems. I didn't worry about pace today just wanted to hit as close to max effort as I could. Hung with Clyde and Justin for a few miles and enjoyed running a pace again just about 5:10. Then I settled into my own thing and traded places a few times with Lindsey as we ran down the canyon. I lost a lot of time in the last three miles of the race but overall really stoked about the run. Good start to getting back into it. |

| Got to work this morning and my flight was canceled. So I headed down to Provo to attempt running up to Cascade Peak from Provo canyon and the ridgeline all the way to Hobble Creek. From Vivian Park I ran through South Fork and up Bunnell Basin. A complete Bushwack jumping logs and crawling through dense brush. The worst I have ever done. Took nearly 2.5 hours to create Cascade Peak and head to Lightning Peak. On Lightning I noticed some developing storm clouds and sat out a squall for an hour under a ledge. By now I called off the run and turned around. It actually seemed slower going down than up and somehow I ended up taking the wrong canyon down towards Provo Canyon ending up on a huge cliff. So I had to climb back up and by now had a headlamp on. It just got too dangerous by now and I dug a bed and settled in for the night. Very cold and long night, first time stuck on a mountain for a while. |

| Nice run along the Des Plaines River Trail. So far while in Chicago I've ran 30 miles of this oak tree lined single track trail from heaven, and haven't seemed to touch half of it yet. Who would have thought Chicago had such a gem? This afternoon at O'Hare I watched teens takinG selfies using a payphone. They were amazed such a thing existed. Could be the highlight of my day. |
