AP-8:00  Morning trail run w/ group plus loop.  My legs/knee are feeling good.  I had a lot of energy after pigging out on mother's Day.  :)

Treadmill run at the hotel.  I really don't like running on the treadmill.  So, to make this more interesting I did some interval running.  5:00 min warm-up at 6.5, then I did intervals of faster running at 9-10 mph for 1 minute with a 1 minute jog in between.  A couple of the intervals I held for an extra 30 seconds and the last one for 2 minutes.  The fastest I went was 10.5, and that was hard to even stay on the treadmill.  Back to 6.5 at the end for cooldown.  Total distance 5 mi - time 40 min.

Ran with Paul - it has probably been 2 years since we've run together.  This was his longest run so far this year as he works up his mileage for the Bryce Canyon 1/2.  We left a little later than I wanted to, so the sun was up and it was a warm morning in LakeLasVegas.  We took it easy and found a loop we could do twice.  The last few miles, I started to get antsy to get back to our room and check on the kids, so I picked up the pace and kicked it in.  I felt pretty good the whole time even though it was warm & a hilly run.

Early Morning long run.  pace ave- 8:34.(not including a couple of pit-stops).  We did a similar loop to last Sat.   I always like when I have run somewhere before - then I know what to expect.  I ran w/ 2 friends for the first 13 miles - we had a pretty good pace going, especially coming downhill through Diagonal & Main. I brought a water bottle and some GuChomps - these gave me a stomach ache- thus the pit-stop at Maverick @ mile 14.  I also had some $ so I could fill my bottle w/ Gatorade - I think this really helped give me the energy for those last miles.  At mile 15 Abby called, but my phone wasn't working right, so I ran home to get her.  She got on her bike and rode by me for miles 17 & 18, then the energy from the Gatorade kicked in, so I decided to go another mile.  It felt pretty good, but my legs are really tired and sore now - and I have a new blister on my toe- I should have worn my good running socks today.  Just ate a big breakfast burrito, so now I feel really good!
