Almost took the day off, but decided to do some jogging with Sammy. I didn't feel terrible, but I need a couple easy days.

AM: 3 miles -- legs are coming back to life. I felt back to normal today. 5 miles tempo run with the CC team tonight. We'll see if I'm recovered yet.

PM: Decided to bump it down to a 4 mile tempo.  It was hot, and 4 is longer than they have previously run.

We ran the 4 miles slightly downhill on part of the rail trail. About 23:20 for 4, pretty solid. I was hoping to get them under 6:00 pace, and they ran 5:50s. Overall very solid workout. 9 total in the PM.

AM: 3 miles with Sammy. Kinda chilly this morning.

PM: Ran 4 miles up Deer Valley from the parking lot at the bottom. Saw tons of bikers out there and a few cars. I think they thought I was crazy. The altitude really does seem to affect me once I hit about 8000 feet. It was hot, and a hard uphill, but I took it relatively easy. Took me about 34 minutes going up and about 24 minutes coming down. (I'm not 100% sure on the distance, but I guestimated as their were Kilometer markings all the way up).

Went to concert in the park after and met up with some friends. The beer tastes like wine after running in the heat. Back with the HSers tomorrow for a fartlek.

AM: 2.5 miles. It's going to be a hot one today, it was warm at 7:00AM.

Lunch: 2 miles Damn it's hot

PM: 4 miles with a friend who hasn't run since HS but is going to get back into running. He did pretty well considering it was almost 90. It's a start

Later:  HS practice, 1.5 mile warmup. 10x2:00 hard, and we ran pretty hard. After about 4 I was feeling it, but I held in there. We ran loops on some grass and pavement. A very solid workout.

16.5 miles around PC with Adam, Chad, Clyde, Josh, Megan, Walter, and Jeff -- I think I'm forgetting someone too... Anyway, it was a very nice run, even with Clyde's idea of running up over a mountain so we could have a loop run instead of an out and back run. THe weather was great, even a little chilly in the morning, and the conversation was good until the last couple miles when we all got a little serious.
