Mayors Loop with George and Marieta. Then a mile extra with George. 6.09 miles 

AM- Got out for my 2 mile morning run and and bumped into Jayne Stringfellow so I walked with her for a little bit. She is enjoying retirement. 1.52 miles 

PM: 4ish with the boys then 3ish on my own in Bloomington. 6.86 miles 

Hiked around White Rocks with some family members. Then I had Marieta drop me off after Winchester Hills. I ran almost all the way home. Ran 8 miles at a 7:13 pace then I slowed down for the last little bit. 9.53 miles 

AM- Ran the Capstone 50k course with my Dad and George. My Dad is pretty sure he has the course down. It took me a while to warm up. I slowed Ross and George down (which meant more recovery time for them). After the hard steep miles I warmed up. I wanted to do the loop twice (like the race will be). I even stored a kickstart energy drink at the start line to drink in between laps, to see if my stomach could handle it. Some jagoff stole it! I was pretty bummed. I went and bought a new one and ran a little extra just to do the experiment. Stomach was fine. 8.06 miles

I know I can run better in actual race environment. 
 

PM- Ran over to play football at Gubler Park. Wish I could've run more. .63 

I wanted to hit some mileage with minimal effort so I threw on the Carbons. Bloomington Hills loop. 10.01 miles 

AM- Ran the reverse loop of Capstone with Ross. I almost called the run off because of severe chafing yesterday. I took some preventative measures and survived today. I ran pretty well. The climbs and rocks still slowed me down but I ran the time I expected. I should be looking at a 1:52-1:55 for next week's race. 7.31 miles

PM- Hanging out with in laws and cousins forced me out for a second run. Ran Upper Graveyard to Cholla. It was getting dark and I only saw private property in front of me so I turned around. I had to cut through the desert and bush whack through some rough terrain. I barely made it through in the darkness. 4.02 miles
