AM: (12 miles, 1:36:33). 31:38 wu + strides, 28:37cd. 5 mile tempo run (target range: 7:04-7:24), actual: 7:21, 7:18, 7:16, 7:13, 7:08. They did not feel "good" and actually they felt a little harder than I wanted them to feel, but I was never truly uncomfortable. All and all, not bad.
PM: (4 miles easy).
Last night I was testing my ability to upload desert wildflower pictures to my blog ... while I succeeded (eventually), I actually think they look better (while not professional) in a larger format, so I decided I would post the link instead. I hope you enjoy them, they really don't do the beauty justice, #1 I am not very good at taking pictures (or at least I can't seem to capture what my eyes see very well) and #2 the poppies open up when it is warm, but when it is warm the sun is too bright to really get how vibrant the yellows are ... but, anyway - I hope you get some idea. It is just really something when out of a brown, fairly barren, place (which does have a natural beauty of its own, albeit a little different from lush green places) comes such amazing splashes of color. Have a wonder day bloggers, enjoying whatever nature surrounds you.
