Easy 4 tonight with the team out on a desert trail. After Saturday's goose egg, I'm going to have to reinstate my $10 penalty donation to the FRB. It's never failed yet.

5 easy miles. The boys ran a time trial tonight and I paced some of the freshman. Things are still feeling good in my knees.

5 easy miles by myself. I ran out on a farm road around dusk... it was gorgeous. It would have been an absolutely perfect run except that I got a Taylor Swift song stuck in my head for the whole way.

Went with the boys on a run through a local canyon. Went out 3 miles on the Garmin at 6:30 pace and came back in 16:54. Mile 2 and 3 were 5:30 and 5:20 and I was pleasantly surprised that I haven't lost all my conditioning - I felt like I could keep it up for another 2 or 3. 

Also, it's clear to me that training at even the 4500 feet of Provo is significantly different than here. The relative ease or difficulty of different paces has obviously shifted from what it was at altitude.

6 miles by myself through 95 degree heat. Not my idea of a perfect run, but you have to squeeze it in when you can.

Easy 6. Glad to have broken 30 miles for the week. The recovery seems to be going well.
