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
