Sore from MP miles last Friday, but loosened up over the run. Averaged 8:08 which was a little quick, but legs feel a little better today.

Medium long run at 8:12 per mile. Cool to begin, but heat and humidity jumped up after about five miles. Effort was more like MP for the last five miles. No damage done, though.

Seven mile tempo run averaged 6:58 after first mile around 6:45. Two miles over seven (7:05 and 7:03). 60-second Gatorade hydration break after five miles and wrapped up with strong final two miles. Heat index around 75 degrees with a breeze to cool off a bit.

Really excellent long run out Park and back, then o bike path. Two gels for the first half with Camelback water. Switched to fuel belt and gatorade for the second half. Felt really strong like I'm on track for a solid marathon, fingers crossed for six more healthy weeks.

VO2 Max workout on the track this morning. Pretty steamy by 8:30 though. Intervals were 5 x 600 meters with 200m jog recovery. Splits were 2:22, 2:20, 2:19, 2:18, 2:20. No problems with the speed or distance but dripping with sweat.

Medium long run. Needed to make pit stop in the woods about 2.5 miles in even though I used bathroom before the run. No problems after that and averaged 8:14 in 80 degrees, breezy conditions.

Cool, drizzly, then rainy day for a long run. Waited until afternoon for my daunting MP test. Completed 18 total with 14 at goal marathon pace. Gatorade at 2,6,10,14 with water in between. One gel at eight miles. Average pace for MP segment was 7:24. Quite happy with this run, feeling strong for DeMar September 26.

Awesome day for a 10K. Sunny, cool morning (eventually up to mid-90s). Registered and picked up the packet the day before the race. Arrived at the race site 45 minutes before the start. Headed to the portalet immediately. Two-mile warm up and a couple of striders trying to lock in race pace. Started in the third row. First two miles were solid, split 13:01. Stayed relaxed with a couple of others for the next two miles around 6:37 and 6:34. Started to tie up around 4.5 miles, but pushed the pace and dropped one of our mini-group. Finished strong with 6:38 and 6:30. Garmin said 6.31, so I could have run better tangents, but I'm really excited for the race. Projects out to a possible sub 3:15 marathon, which is the goal for September 26.

Started out slowly to loosen up from the race on Sunday. Finished strong with miles at eight or under. Average pace overall was 8:14 on a very hot, but very low humidity day. Legs a bit beat up afterwards though.

Recovery double with six in the AM and four in the PM all around nine-minute miles. Right knee a bit sore, but legs loosened up after fairly hard long run and race.
