Off day.  The kids and I hiked Prov Canyon and got cool pictures of deer.  Both dead and alive.

Good start for a Monday.  Early workout on the treadmill, progressive Tempo run.  1 mile warm up, 6 @ 5:35, 4 @ 5:27.  10 total.  The Tempo runs are getting a bit easier which is good news, the training is working a little.  I can still run a much faster Tempo on the treadmill than outside but that may be mental.  I can't stand the incline at 1%, which is supposed to make it more realistic.

Dropped the kids off to school, ran errands all morning and had school lunch with them again.  Do parents have any idea what they feed these kids?  Since it was snowing and the gym was empty this morning, I got back for my lifting that I keep putting off and an easy 8 miles.  It's going to be a super busy week of work and I enjoyed this simple day.

4am east coast time van to the airport this morning in Atlanta to work the flight.  Crap, who flies at this time of the day?  I maybe got three hours of sleep.  To add to the pleasure I was so sore from yesterdays workout I was basically limping around.  At least I was able to get the first clearance out of Atlanta and we beat the 100 to 200 planes that leave on the 6am bank.  Busy flight to Orange County, CA since we had all 5 phones bluetoothed together and swapping music.  I got 150 new songs to listen to for running.  I can't get used to this technology sometimes.

60 degrees on Huntington Beach, CA today.  I was worried about the soreness on a long run today but felt it was more muscle soreness than fatigue.  I've put some speed into this week so far.  It hurt pretty bad to get going but after a few miles I got into a great rythm and the miles just flew by, holding 6:45 pace and picking it up for the last 4 miles.  6:41 average.

Great run and much needed in my training right now.  Only one more of these before Boston.

12 miles Flatiron to Ridgeline trail with some Phoenix friends.  Very technical and hard trail.  6 hours to complete.  I'm going to have to find the time to do a report on this trail since it ranks easily as one of the top trails I have ever run.  Loose shale, a few actual walls to climb, and a lot of boulder to boulder jumping.  Can't wait now to do it fast next week!

9 miles in San Diego in the evening with an Uncle and off tonight for Carlsbad to watch the 5k tomorrow.
