22 mile bike ride around Lake Bemidji and through the town with Rob.  What a beautiful area.  I would love to run this trail.  The kids are off playing and don't even know that we are not there!

8 miles on some pretty nice trails in Bemidji State park with Rob.  Felt pretty good except Rob kept running too fast.

Off day.  Three races in July to run and tomorrow marks the start of my training plan for Twin, so now I have to get in shape.  I've been thinking through my recent results and pulled out my old Advanced Marathoning book to set up some new training plans and feel for the first time in a few months some real desire to put in some speed.

Some easy recovery miles along the Bonneville Shoreline trail into Green Canyon.  Feeling pretty refreshed today and in need of a long run tomorrow.  Tonight, with the morning off, I noticed online that the Mt. Logan Peak trail run was in the morning and called the race director about getting in last minute.  It was an interesting call.  I was lectured about the seriousness of trail running and the extremeness of it.  How it takes months of planning and a person can't just go run one of these.  The snow is high and so is the danger, on and on, lol!  With all the additional dangers and problems with possible snowpack there would be no way to get me in.  Obviously I must misunderstand the sport of running..

Starting training today and so NOT excited about getting back on a running diet.  The last six weeks have been fun.  I'm going to miss all the moonpies and twinkies.

Ascending fartlek run this morning from day 16 of Advanced Marathoning.  I knew the perfect trail for this with some up and downs and some great flats.  South spur of Logan trail.  2 miles of enjoying nature for a warmup and then not noticing it much else trying to track the legs.

Best part of the run was passing a long line of Logan Peake trail racers above them on the mountain side since they packed the whole trail solid.
