Nice morning running along the river dyke near the camp ground.  Sun comes up around 4:30am though not me!  Ran around 5:30am.  Ran easy for 2 miles then picked up the pace a bit for 3 miles then did 1 mile at marathon pace then slowed down again.  I was a bit tired still from Saturday's work out but it went well.

2 miles warm up 24:39

(10:56) (10:29) (10:49) (9:26) (11:44)

Good run again along the Westerschelde.  I saw some wonderful birds....sea gulls, pheasants, and others that I don't know their names.  Also saw LOTS of rabbits jumping around and some sheep.  What's interesting about running along the dyke is that ships pass through on their way to and from the North Sea.  Saw an HUGE boat carrying LOTS of containers.  

 Anyway, ran warm/easy (12:57) (11:41) (10:34) (10:15) 

then tried some marathon pace miles (9:36) (9:23) (9:01)

then warmed down (10:41)

May or may not run tomorrow morning.  Have to leave for the airport at 6am.  Suppose I could put in a few miles as we walk and wait for a connecting flight in Atlanta.  We shall see...USA here we come!

last run in Holland before we head for the airport.  AP 10:05

Felt good to get out and run this morning.  I'm terribly jet lagged and not sleeping well, but hopefully that will change soon.  Did a 6 mile loop first 2.92 miles AP was 9:50 and the next 3.05 miles AP was 9:25.

Felt great to smell the Arizona desert.

Well, this morning started out good.  Was out running by 5am and it was relatively cool.  Enjoyed running not far from the base of the Catalina mountains.  Breath taking view.  I ran just over 5 miles at an AP of 10:30.  It was nice.  A bit hilly but nice.  I arrived at the nearby High School and did 2 miles at marathon pace on the track...9:27 and 9:16, then started the 5.18 miles back home.  After 3 miles towards home I was toast.  My legs were tired and I didn't want to push it so I went into a Starbucks and asked to use their phone and called my husband who came and picked me up.  Just didn't want to push any more.  Combination of fatigue from jet lag and I didn't eat very well yesterday and boy howdy did I feel it. Plus I'm still not sleeping through the night...waking up at 3am and not able to get back to sleep.  Live and learn.  I'm fueling my body well today!  And also making sure I'm drinking enough water so that I'm well hydrated for the marathon...a week from tomorrow!  We'll be driving to CA on Thursday next week.  At least AZ and CA are in the same time zone!  Well, I'm FINALLY going to unpack the suitcases...happy running!
