12x400 on the grass at North 40 Fields in PC (took the GPS and this course is about 12 feet short)

Felt okay, pretty darn good at the end. Better at the end than the start actually. The last 4 were barefoot, which is why they were speedy.

PM: 4 miles with Sammy. A great night for a run, cool weather with a nice breeze.

Long Run Day -- planned around the canyon to canyon 1/2

Got their at 6:10AM. Ran for 40:00 warmup on some ATV trails before the race. Changed shoes and ran the half. Felt terrible 3 miles in and wanted to turn around, but decided to gut it out. By mile 5 I was okay. hit the first half (6.55) in 44:45.

Either the way back was more downhill or I got some sort of second wind. I felt much better, to the point at which, 10 miles into the run, I was running 6:00 pace and feeling great. I had a PowerGel at 6, that might have helped. Ran the second half in 41:20 -- over 3 minutes faster, which the last 3 being the fastest.

Concluded the day with a 2.5 mile cooldown and my legs still feeling okay. I could have went more today even, but 21 was enough considering my LR before was somewhere around 13.

PM: Biked 12 miles on the roads with Erica. Legs still okay, though I wasn't really pushing it.
