Amazing run at Sabino Canyon this morning.  Been several years since I did this run.  The scenery was amazing and it was nice in that 90% of the run was in the shade.  A major up hill climb the first half.  10:09, 10:02, 10:15, 11:17, 9:13, 8:13, 8:31, 8:20 (.39 miles)

Good hilly run this morning.  Left the house at 6am but by the time I got back it was quite warm.  Don't know how Bonnie can run here in Tucson starting at 8am...I would have said forget it!  The most amazing thing I saw on this run was a family of Javalina, 3 in total.  It was awesome.  I ran for 1:18:04 and here are the splits:  10:32, 9:45, 10:04, 8:57, 9:32, 9:10, 9:52, 10:14  AP was 9:46

Went on a good run this morning.  I'm finding that I'm running harder these days now that I'm running with a garmin.  I like knowing what my pace is.  I went 6 miles and it took me 58:30.  Splits:  10:21, 9:45, 9:31, 9:31, 9:31, 9:50.  Was I consistent with miles 3-5 or what!  Don't think I've done that before.  AP 9:45

Well, it was one of those mornings running.  Not so good.  I thought I'd get in a medium length run before leaving to enjoy the freedom of running outside a compound.  I think 2 factors contributed to to this:  1) I ran hard Sun, Mon, Tues.  I just didn't have enough recovery time.  2) I think I started out a bit dehydrated in that I hadn't drank a lot of water during the previous 24 hours.  Also, I hadn't eaten much the day before either.  So, I definitely paid for it.  When I started out, there was a pretty good head wind.  I thought, no problem, that means a tail wind when I return.  I thought I would go a total of 10-12 miles.  At mile 5 out, I was already feeling more tired than usual, but I thought no problem since I'd have a tail wind home.  At 5.5 miles I said forget, I'm turning around.  Well, I turned around thinking I could settle into a decent pace back and my body was telling me, no way!  And, when I did turn around it seemed like the wind died down and of course it was getting warmer and warmer.  There was probably a bit of a tail wind, but it sure didn't seem like it.  Oh well.  Here are my splits:  10:46, 10:09, 10:20, 10:20, 10:48, 10:37, 10:03, 10:10, 10:01, 10:56, 11:23   AP:  10:30

Boy howdy I felt old today!  Better day tomorrow????

Well, I was up too late last night packing and today I'm finishing packing and cleaning the house and doing laundry.  Unfortunately, no time for a run.  I deeply saddened.  Next run will probably be early next week from Conakry, Guinea.  Till next week.
