| Long run in St. Louis at 102 degrees at 2pm. Holy %$@#! This was a hard run, just about to total exhaustion. The arm is doing good and the swelling is down, all good news for continued running. Official results came back today for the half on Saturday, 1:10:45, a PR by over a minute for me and since this is almost exactly the same course as the AM half that I ran an extra half mile on a few weeks ago for a 1:12, I'm pretty certain that I would have broken 1:10 that week. Curious to see what my times will be in the next two halfs since they are not as aided. With the recovery rates that I have this year, I could be in the best shape yet for some fall marathon PRs. |

| With an overnight in Chicago I was hoping to be able to go over and run the 5000 today in the Masters Track Championships but yesterday they changed the schedule to 11:05am which was one hour before my flight. I still considered it, but finally had to drop the idea and just go run on the lake shore trail. If I have time this weekend I'll be back to run the 1500 Sunday. |

| Last recovery run before a heavy training cycle of two weeks. 7:30 pace. My arm was a bit red today so I went into the clinic to get a script for antibiotics, just in case. I met one of the few good doctors left on earth. He said the arm was fine, no infection, and recommended no antibiotics. That's such a rare thing to see anymore when everything is over prescribed. He did give me a script for some if it got worse and told me the best thing for it would be some hard training. Serious? Then he said since I hadn't had stitches that it would heal quicker if he re cut it and steri-stripped it. I closed my eyes and told him to go for it. He better be right and not just teaching me a lesson. Anyways, ten minute visit and I was out of there, Too much going on with all this to attempt getting to Chicago for the Masters Track stuff. Maybe next year.. One hour of Yoga at the gym which continues to impress me with the feeling of balance and the calming influence on me that it has. I received an interesting invite to the AFC Half Marathon in two weeks. The same guy has won the masters div in the last five years. John R, the race director for the Fountain to Mountain 15k. The Masters WR for the half was set here, although I understand there's some controversy about this since M. Hussein was given that in 2002 in the Philly Half. The record has stood at AFC since 1982 I believe. Anyhow, it would be good opportuni to run a rolling, honest course with zero drop in elevation. Both Hussein and John R. will be running it. Usually invites like these are set ups, I've discovered, since directors pick a group and enjoy watching the pain. I'm not in shape for a half but I'm going to run it. Nothing like a little pain. |

| 12 mile Fartlek run in Denver. 2 warm up, 1 to 5 minute pyramid style alternating fast and slow. This has always been a run that shakes out any lingering soreness. In college we used to run this as two competeing teams, with two bikes. You ran as fast as you could to where the bike was picked it up and biked as fast as you could for a block or two, and started running again. Each guy on the team grabbed the bike when he could. It was great since it mattered little how fast each guy was. |

Easy pace recovery morning. The goal this week was a start on quality base miles for Oct and to get as dead as possible before our trail run Saturday. I'd like to do the run on as tired legs as possible since I know the pace will be pretty slow with who is going.
Detroit is grey and cold as usual. Why do people live here?
Just have to add here that I wrote Garmin about their watch falling off my wrist and getting lost in the Des News Marathon and they agreed to send me a new one. This company is amazing. Almost makes up for having to return the 610 three times for problems |

| Really neat trail run this morning with my brother from Hurricane Pass trailhead up to School Room Glacier, Tetons and back down. Just incredible mountains, loved this trail! Planning to run the entire trail to Jenny Lake and back in two weeks which is 42 miles, since this trail has so much soft dirt running. This was my brother's first run in years over ten miles and we never stopped once on the way except for some quick pics. |

| Wow, a day off with no work and no kids. I flew down to Phoenix and ran the Ridgeline Trail at 2pm, 119 degrees. Wow. That pretty much sums it up. Could be as hot as I have ever run, so much fun! Spent the evening with friends to top off a great day off. |

| Crazy busy day landing in Austin this afternoon, picking up the rental car, one hour run on Town Lake trail in the 101 degree heat and off to spend the evening with my friend who just got deployed to Kabul. It puts things in perspective. I get to thinking I have a lot of tough things to get done in life and then my best friend gets a phone call that in 8 days he will be spending the next 8 months away from home. He's only one year away from retirement. |

| Just enough time to squeak in a quick run on the Shoreline trail before heading to work. This is ending up to be one of those weeks that will just not have any time left for the running hobby. That's even with dropping down to 4 hours of sleep a night to get everything done. Came home yesterday from a two day trip and the kid's cat had her kittens. The girls have not set them down for the entire morning and begged me to not go to work so they could just sit and hold them for the rest of the day. I head out to New York tonight and then off to spend the weekend in San Diego playing. Maybe even get in a half marathon if time permits. |

| Through this last week my heel has been hurting pretty good. I was hoping it would fade away with some easy short runs through the week but by Friday it was worse. Not really sure what it is but hoping not some small type of bone fracture. Last night I decided to bag doing the race today, just didn't make sense, and just run it at a slow marathon pace for fun. I didn't feel like not starting another race. But even then it was hard. This foot thing is going to change my fall running. This will be a week of cross training. 1:20 time |

| 1600 meter swim. I am really getting attached to these swims this week. This morning I dropped down to 32 minutes which is good training time for me! I am so tempted to get more into this again and take some time away from the running thing! |

This is just such a great race. I waffled back and forth on it this year with this heel injury but just didn't want to miss it so I decided to fit it in between swimming and at least have a good time. I took a max dose of IB an hour before start and did a one mile warm up just before the race. My foot hurt the whole race. Every mile. But nothing like last weekend so I'll be hitting the pool again this week and feel comfortable I'll pull through this.
Started off with the second group of guys today, familiar faces and a few new guys. After the first mile I knew that I'd be able to run the distance with the heel and decided on an a 5:40 pace. Albert and I ran together all the way down until the turn at mile 7 and then he gapped me. I was beyond happy to be running the pace I was at so I let him go. I haven't felt legs this fresh in a long time which was due to a week off just swimming, but I was so worried about tweaking that foot! As I turned the course up the hill I looked back since I knew that group of great runners with Walter and Clyde were going to be reeling me in any minute, but I couldn't see them anywhere so I dropped back to a 6:20 pace for the hills and only picked it up again when I turned down Millville for the last 2 miles.
I was not expecting to be able to put this one in, so the whole run was great. So many from the blog and Circuit to talk to today! Most impressed with Walter for gutting out 13 miles with cracked ribs and Janea Richardson running a 1:19. Awesome! |
