12.3 miles in New York today over to the World's Fair Park.  Since it was so hot I did laps in the park since I could run through the fountains and stay in the shade.  Great to be back to work and running in new places.  It helps when you have a great crew to work with a few days and can get out and have some fun.

Have to escape the heat today so I drug myself into the gym.  My long, easy week is over so it's time for some faster running again and I'm not looking forward to it!  Just loving summer though and ready for some Fall races!

7 miles at 6 minute pace, last 3 miles at 5:27

First day of school for the kids so we were busy all day.  They have some great teachers this year.  I'm pretty excited for the year.  We spent the afternoon setting up our new 80 gallon aquarium.  I cannot believe how much water it takes to fill one of those.  We have four crawfish that we caught from Hyrum dam living in it so far.

Ran 6 miles of the TOU half course this afternoon, 3 of them at pace.  Another roasting day.

Felt like a really tough race today.  I have felt behind for a few weeks now with the fall racing and hoped by taking it easy this week to grab some back, but need a break!  The pace for the first 6 was pretty close to a 1:10 time but I could tell that there was no way I could hold on to it.  My legs were just too tired.  I don't recall wanting to DNF a race this many times for a while, lol!  After mile 8 I seemed to catch my breath and it started getting fun again.  This was my slowest half time for the year, but a two minute PR on this course for me.

Best part of the morning was talking to the guys after.  It was good to have a chance to talk to Walter for a bit, great Master run on this course.  I believe it could be the record.  Also just two really nice races by Jake and Paul.
