Out 8 miles then back. Similar run to the last couple Saturday's runs but I went up River Road and then down to the DC and to Bloomington. Started out really slow with a 8:38 mile. Up early and working out the Mondays. Slowly tried to get things going but for the first 7 miles I was still barely under 7:20 pace. Then going into the last mile before the turn around I started to feel better and basically ran between 6:35-6:50 pace the remainder of the run. Ended with a 7:01 avg. Felt a little cooler this morning but still was over 76 F at 5 a.m.

Ran with Bill and Mike from the Houseboat at the marina up around the surrounding area. Kind of explored and did some laps around the hill between the marina and boat ramp. Finally took the houseboat out of the marina this morning to our camp site over in Ice cream canyon by the Sandhill.

Drove my boat over from the houseboat to Wahweap marina. Ran a big loop up to the main road that comes into Page then down by the dam and then back over to the marina on a road closer to the lake. Bill and Mike started out with me and then turned around at mile 3. We met back up at the boat. Ran too close to eating breakfast and it was too hot out. I struggled the last 3 miles.

Having too much fun to run. We just couldn't get one in today. Don't feel bad about it at all.

Bigger workout in my last day at Lake Powell. Bill and I drove over in my boat in the darkness of morning to the marina. Mike hurt his knee pretty bad in a tubing wreck gone horribly bad. Hope he's not too jacked... but it doesn't look good. Anyways me and the Bull set out to do the same loop I had ran on Thursday. But we extended it in the beginning around the campground and added some. I wanted to do a 7 mile tempo during a portion of the loop. 

So we did a 5 mile warm up and then I ran a 5:40 avg tempo back around to the marina. Then did a 4 mile cool down trying to locate the WildBull. Got back to the houseboat and had pancakes for breakfast. Then the guys went for a waverunner ride over to Warm Creek canyon. When we got back Mik'L and I started to gather our junk up and finally headed home. Sad to leave. I love that place!
