Fly on the Wall

7 miles around the hood and up Memory Grove.  

Missed the second run of today's planned double.

15.1 slow and hot miles.  I was dragging today.

Bacon.  This morning in the office the smell of bacon came wafting through.  The smell continued to intensify until a bacon haze filled the air.  This set off the fire alarm.  The entire building (100s of people?) spent maybe 1/2 hour in the parking lot waiting for someone to determine that it was just some bacon cooking fool and not a fire.  I heard it was someone in human resources.  Sheesh!

6 ez on JRP in am.  Hurray for a few clouds and a few drops of rain that made it all the way to the ground!

5k ez on JRP in pm.

JRP.  2 warm up. 7 @15k-1/2 mary pace. 3 cool down.  I packed my fanny pack with ice and water in an effort to combat the heat.... Well I wasn't hot!  I was soaked from my ear wax to my toe jamb!  

 6:52 blustery head wind.

6:53 windy and starting to rain.

6:53 raining.

6:48 downwind in hard rain.

6:57 headwind and a deluge of rain.

6:41 slosh, slosh, slosh....

ave 6:50.  Not sure if these were 15k, 1/2 mary, or ? pace.  The intense rain, lightning, and thunder made it tough to gauge my effort.  I guess I felt pretty good though.  I was pushing but not super hard. 

22 ez.  downtown, Memory Grove, 11th Ave, City Creek, home.  SLOW and tired.  This run would have been a lot more beneficial if I had done it tomorrow after an ez day today.  Oh well.

5 miles at 10,000 feet.  Slow and ez pace on Skyline Drive.  A bit sore from the week.
