11 in the storm around south Spanish Fork through the fields. It got much faster as I got colder. Mud, rain, and wind make for happiness.

Funrun with Mike, Spencer, and Toni. We took the pipeline up to bridal veil and then Mike and I went up to south fork park. Attempted 3, 2, 1, on the return and it went great but my legs were cooked on the 1 so I shut it down, not quite recovered from last week plus the climbing. Mike is a beast and ran like one. Fun morning. I think a nice girl briefly saw my bum as i pulled up my shorts after I had to pull a Sasha during the 3, oopsie.

On the home loop after work and saw a bright shirt up ahead. Of course I had to catch whoever it was. Only he wasn't coming back to me as fast as I wanted. As I got closer I realized that I recognized the stride. It was the fastest Tongan in the world :), Toni. He has good taste in running routes. Next time he's in town we'll go together.

am -10 easy in the humidity around Akumal. There is a dirt road along the freeway that is shaded from the jungle in the morning. To the end of the dirt road and back is exactly 10, it's meant to be :). Grateful for the shade and the headwind on the return.

am2 - snorkeling at Yal Ku for a couple hours. Lots of fish and crytal clear water. Good times. Swimming loosens the whole body, very nice.

Hiking and biking in the jungle at and around Coba city. Such an awesome place. PM ocean swim. Even though I didn't get a lot of running miles in on this vacation I stayed very active. I believe my body appreciated the rest from running. I feel recharged and ready to go.

Finally made it out a little after 6 last night. Ran the golf course loop. It was a very beautiful day but I wasn't feeling the best and the run felt a little more labored than I thought it would. When I got back I realized it was 95 degrees lol, that may have something to do with it. Mexico messed up my internal temp gauge.... or strengthened it ;).

Easy with the early crew. Matt did a monster workout, inspiring :). I missed a run yesterday but my boys are 3-peat pinewood derby champs so it's all good.
