AM - 11.5 Good to be home again. Was sleeping really good, probably because it was my own bed, so it was hard to get up but what a beautiful morning. Ran my hill loop got a few miles in around GMP. 

PM - 7.6 First good speed workout in awhile. Alternated between MP (recovery) and HMP (target) 1@6:22, 2@6:00, 1@6:22, 2@6:00, 1@6:22 7/43:16/6:10 warm up and cool down .3 to and from gym. A lot of road work going on in front of my work and all of the back roads I run on are busier than ever so I chose indoors today. Might make the gym a little more frequent with the great heat wave going on in the afternoons.  

Listened to a great podcast from Ben Greenfield about drinking too much fluids while exercising and sport drinks in general. Made me wonder how much I really need to take in.  Dr. Timothy Noakes talks a lot about drinking to thirst v. drinking a prescribed amount. It's really good.

AM - 7 track workout 8x600 w/200 float then 8x100. Went a little easier today and just paced out my brother in law on the 600's it was fun and just a relaxed morning. Nice and cool.

I guess I just need a 40lb weight vest in order to run faster than everyone one ... oh and someone to pay me for two years to implement Hobie Call's plan. Maybe some good supplements I probably wouldn't worry about legality for 2 years of said supplements for 2 years either. Maybe Balco could hook me up with a sponsorship.......

PM - 7 recovery pace. 

Easy day. I think the 100's yesterday had a little more effect than I thought they would. Upper thighs and hips pretty tight.

AM - 7 untimed miles. Still feeling pretty tight this morning. After a couple miles my hips loosened up and I was able to relax and run better. Very peaceful, I need to do these types of runs more.

Blew up my Saucony Triumphs today. The whole side ripped apart. I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a pair of shoes, didn't even get 500 miles out of them before they fell apart (502 miles after the run, they fell apart mid run). It wasn't just one shoe either, both shoes were slowly ripping in the same spot and this morning the right one ripped along the whole outside arch area. Threw them in the trash right after the run. 

PM - 7 progression run 6:40-6:08 legs feeling pretty tight still but made it through.

Not much to say other than I ran today.

Great morning run although it was pretty humid for Idaho. Ran a hill loop and drug my dog pretty much the whole loop. He was running good but now has been a bit of a stinker on these last few. I think it may be the heat but if he doesn't run in the morning he turn into a turkey the rest of the day. After the loop I got in my car to meet Curt for another 8-10 we ended up going 9. It was good to run with him again. Also ran a touch with Lynette. Nice easy pace for most of this run although I was able to push it a couple times and get down into mid MP.
