Not too bad... The room was hot with no fans. I'm on vacation!!!! Why am I doing this?!! My 5th interval was at 9.3 the last 30 seconds.

We went to the beach for a morning swim. The waves were small so that made it fun for the kids to be out there too. I body surfed a few waves with my fins on.

Tough day to run after being at Magic Mtn the day before. I realized after mile 6 this was not going to be a good run. My legs are just too tired. Maybe I should just take the week off for vacation. I ran from our resort by disneyland and headed down the santa ana river trail to huntington beach. I ended up walking over 3 miles total with all my running in between the walks. I never felt the cool ocean breeze until the last couple miles. The rest of the run was hot and humid. I got kicked out of the jack-in-the-box trying to get more water around mile 8. The manager did give me a parting gift of ice water in a cup. When I came to the end of the trail at the beach the police had the area taped off of what looked like a crime scene. I was too tired to care or to look to see what all the excitement was about. Splits: 7:17, 7:02, 7:04, 7:13, 7:26, 7:46, 7:43, 7:43, 7:45, 7:53, 7:51, 7:44
