Ran indoors on the TM at 1% incline. Too smokey outside! Started at 6.5 mph and increased the speed 0.1 every quater mile. When I hit 8.0 mph, I held the pace for one mile and then came back down the same way. I stopped when I hit 1 hour.

Annual abraham Lincoln run from enterprise reservoir to gunlock. Its all dirt road and hilly. Fun run and still hot outside. If it wasn't for the cloud cover this could have been a tougher run.

I wanted to do at least 7 intervals but I had to run to the restroom again after 6 int. By the time I got back to the track I was cooled down too much and out of time. I just wanted to stay under a 3:15... I was happy with my times!

Bryce canyon half. Ran as a 1:40 pacer. It was beautiful weather and a comfortable pace. No problems with my running today. It was fun to bring other people across the finish line.

Easy, recovery run in the hot, humid st george sun. I thought it may rain. That is what prompted me to run. At mile 4 I stopped at jack in the box and had 2 tacos and diet dr pepper. The next 2 miles were a little sluggest. Ave 8:12 pace.

Track - The workout called for 4x(400, 800, & 1200) with 400 recovery.
Not feeling very well and I showed up to see what I could do. I did one set and when I started my second set my calves got very tight after the 400. I decided to run a couple more 400's to see if anything would change. There was no change so I shut it down to save my legs for the rest of the week.
400 (1:29 time/5:56 pace)
800 (3:15/6:24)
1200 (4:52/6:25)
400 (1:32/6:08)
400 (1:31/6:04)
400 (1:31)
