11 easy down to the lake after work. Wow it was hot. I jumped a watersnake on the trail and saw a bunch of weirdos. Weirdos don't wave.. they should, I'm quite friendly. Perhaps the training beard scared them. I registered for Des News half today. Butterflies :). 7:09

Got my wish as the clouds rolled in right as work ended. I was so

excited that I threw a 4 mile fartlek in the run. Various speeds and

distances, it went well. Nothing too hard due to tomorrows workout. Ran

out in the country roads today. Farmers wave because they are cool :). 6:49

The mad scientist had a doozy on the schedule today and I was kind of dreading it. But then a friend said something in a message this morning that changed my attitude so I attacked it. Workout was 10x 1200 with 600m recoveries. Consistency was the plan so I settled on a pace (5:25-5::30) and went for it. 2 mile warm up. Ran very consistent splits 4:04, :06, :03, :05, :05, :03, :04, :06, :03, :01. Recoveries were all at ~7:40 pace. Easy cool down. This was a good workout with the half next week and I finished feeling tired but not wiped out. Money in the bank today. 6:25 avg

Warmed up a mile + hops, skips, & butt kicks before the guys arrived. Ran the canyon with Matt, Mike, Toni, and Ty. We kept it easy the first 10 and then all ran different pushes on the way back. Always so much fun with these guys. Very thankful for mornings like this one. I'm really enjoying training lately :). 6:45
