     9 mile morning run at 8:10 pace.

     PM  This run should probably be recorded on tomorrows blog but I started before midnight so I'll count it for Monday. I couldn't find time for a PM run any earlier. I've been busy getting my grain planted and various other things. My wife works in the hospital lab and was on call. She needed some blood taken down to Logan after she drew it around 12:30 AM so rather than sleep for an our thats when I got my 7 mile run in before I had to leave and didn't get to bed till almost 3 am.  8:47 pace.

     Didn't have time for a morning bike ride but did get in a 5 mile PM run. 8:54 pace.

     Morning run 9 miles at 8:14 pace

     PM  run 4 miles after dark at 8:38 pace.  Been busy getting my grain planted and it's been tricky to squeeze in the runs

     24 miles mt bike.

     PM     2.5 miles. Planned to do more but ran out of time. 8:27 pace.

     8 mile run. I ran a 3 mile warmup at 8:17 pace then did 4 miles of fartlek. I did 5x1000 with 400 recovery. I averaged 6:18 pace on the 1000s and 8:02 on the rec. then finished with 1 mile cooldown. Pace for 4.1 fartlec was 6:41. overall pace for 8 was 7:21.

     Was planning a PM run but never got time. It's been a busy week. Hard to find time to squeeze in some running let alone blogging.

     I started out on an early run and it was perfect running weather but 1/2 mile in it looked like rain could be coming and I still had work to do in the fields before it hit so I ran back and ran the tractor until it got too muddy. I got back out later after the rain for 10 miles. 8:13 pace.
