| AM Long Run: 60 degrees and foggy this morning at 8:30a when I left. Felt pretty good weather wise to start - sun came out about 2hrs in to the run and heated things up immediately. Started off pretty sore and tired in the legs. Feeling a little heavy at the start. Easy 7 mi. over to Mill Race Park for some MP/AT loops in a nice mostly shaded park - its a net zero approximate mile loop around the park street, through the covered bridge and back across sidewalk to the park entrance. workout was goin to be 3x3mi. AT/MP. First one was a bit slow, second felt a little too strained, but was on MP, and also carried over in to the last rep where I tried to hammer it and was in the 6:40's by mile 2 with some heat building as the sun came out, and shut it down.
3mi. AT - 6:31, 6:36, 6:37, 5 min. rec. jog,
3mi. MP - 6:28, 6:32, 6:25, 7 min. rec. jog
2mi. MP - 6:20, 6:41, shut it down - got hot and well out of AT zone,
7 mi. back home - felt pretty solid after a mile or so recovery pace post workout loops
23.19 mi. total - 2:51:00
PM: easy bike ride across town and back to return a movie. Enjoyable ride - 17mi. - 1:07:27

| PM Track Tuesday: HighSchool XC has started in Indiana, so half the Quaff guys were gone today (coaches) Some other usually peeps showed up, but it was solo in the heat tpday for me: 7x800m @5k w/ 400m rec. jog. (2:45, 51, 51, 48, 46, 47, 45). Very hot - 90 degrees really played havoc with me on the last 2 reps. 1 mi. WU, 5 mi. CD easy jog with some of the other people - they showed me a brand new part of the People Trail system that I had never known to exist - awesome - probably the best prtion of the trail in the city.
11.2 mi. total - 1:26:30 total

| AM: easy 4 miles - very slow in some humidity - about 9 min. pace
PM: easy run up to Menards and back. Wore hydration pack and carried some small items to return for refund. As soon as I stepped out the door, it started raining. Fortunately the return items stayed dry. I didn't ofcourse, but it actually was pleasant - nice and refreshing if not for the pack irratating rubbing.
Started the conversation with the Quaff people about Badwater135... wow. Anybody on here (who happens to read my blog) ever done that crazy thing? Having only completed a 50 miler, I'm thinking I have alooong way to go training and planning wise before even considering this as a reality.
Anyway, 9.2mi. - easy 78:3x

| AM - Tipton Marina and back - easy 10 miler - 1:22:48. 55 degrees this morning - nice! In the middle of the Tipton Lakes neighborhood, right around my usual turn around spot, 2 deer hopped up out of a little gulley by the road and went across the road right in front of me. Nice to see that.

| AM: easy pace - great weather - about 70 degrees and overcast. Loops around fairgrounds and neighborhood. 8 x 10-15 sec. strides - picked it up to about 90-95%. Enjoying being able to handle the higher mileage without feeling dead on these easy runs. No racing until Aug. 9th 5k - I think that will help with handling the volume. 10mi. - 1:18:53
PM1: moderate effort on the bike for 50 minutes - about 13.5 miles - 'Mill Race Park and back
PM2: easy 7 miles to get 100 for the week - 60:53. Barely beat the storm. A couple lightning flashes on the way home moved me along. 5 pieces of papa johns pizza in your stomach make you slower.
