| AM - about 3.5 miles with Finn on the golf course this morning before work. Longest run with him, and the first in a little while since he was "fixed" and had a recovery period. The dog is growing strong and has ample endurance...working on some training to have him run off-leash with me ultimately.
PM - lunchtime workout on the treadmill. 8 x 600 with a 1 min rest - all at 5:42 pace per mile. Warm up and cool down. These were a bit more challenging today - perhaps because of the shorter rest between reps. Good workout overall though.

| AM - roughly 4.5 miles this morning on the golf course with Finn. Had the GPS on it for a portion of the run - we were averaging right around 8 to 8:15 pace per mile and I was holding him back at times. Practiced a little having him off lead. Kinda funny each time he would realize that I was not holding the leash - he'd run over to me and essentially wait /jump up at me or get tangled in my legs until I picked it up again - and then he'd resume running in front - as if he preferred to have me hold the leash. He was a filthy mess of mud sand and grass clippings when we were finished - but a happy dog, no doubt.
PM - 7 miles on the treadmill at lunch.

| PM - had planned to take the day off. Been feeling really fatigued and sore and low on energy - so no run in the morning or at lunchtime. Had a very unexpectedly stressful day at work - so this evening instead of not running I went out for an easy run on the golf course with Finn. More of a therapeutic than anything else. Body did not feel too bad during or after.

| AM - had a really nice run with Finn on the golf course this morning around 4.5 miles. Because it is early morning and the course is empty of any patrons - I allowed Finn to run off lead - which I had been gradually introducing for the last few weeks. He ran the majority of the run this morning that way which allowed him to explore more and get in some nice sprints when he needed to rejoin me at times.
His blog would probably read: "Nice fartlek workout this morning with multiple folics and detours - one of which was to introduce myself to a fawn, which I has mistakenly thought was a dog due to his size. He was shy and ventured off into the woods and I was unable to connect. Resumed my training forthwith."

| AM - 4 miles with Finn, mostly off-lead, on the golf course this morning.
PM - 6 miles at lunchtime. Hot again - 97 I think. But actually did not feel as hot as yesterday. Might have been a breeze.
So I am having this internal debate with myself. About 6 - 7 weeks ago - I was reasonably pleased with how I was feeling in my training runs. Did a couple of races...felt profoundly slow - decided to do some speed workouts -- never actually raced any after about 5 weeks of at least 1 workout per week...but was really fatigued and not enjoying even the easy days. Did not even want to race.
Something is "off". Not sure if the stress of the workouts set me back or the heat or not enough iron supplements...anyway
My debate is whether to increase my mileage volume now (eliminating the fast workouts for a while) gradually over the remainder of the summer - or take a short break and decrease mileage for a few weeks. I would like to be ready to run a fall marathon.

| PM - 10 easy aerobic miles on the treadmill at lunchtime. Wore the HRM - kept things in check - and not running outside today was a plus with reasonable indoor temps.

| AM - 10 aerobic miles heading the other direction (south) on the strip in Las Vegas today. Actually had a few sprinkles. Humidity was up (23%) from single digits yesterday.

| AM - 10.25 miles this morning. Ran around a different part of the city - including the perimeter of UNLV. Warmer (95 at 5:30 am) and less comfortable.
