| 8:30 pm. There are only a couple of times a year where an opportunity like last night presents itself. The clouds were blowing in from the south, threatening, just as we finished helping a neighbor load the U-haul. I came home with my son, checked the baseball scores, and the rain started, intensified, and persisted. After wasting 10 minutes of the hardest downpour, I got into an older pair of shoes, and headed out. By 3 miles, the rain stopped, but it picked up again in earnest for the final mile. Great run.
Marathon training plan for the next three weeks:
8, 9, 8, 20 (find some downhill)
8, 9, 8, 9, 14 (find some downhill)
8, 9, 8, 9, 20 (try to finish fast)
That should get me to a taper window.

| 4 with Tami, and Jack in the stroller. He was in a bad mood, but the run sorted him out. We started out with clouds and a bit of rain, and ended with muggy, steamy, sunny conditions.
Days like this in August are a treat.

| 2 mile warmup, then 8x800 with 1 minute recoveries. Goal pace was 3:00. Well, Jasmine and Cynthia are in a different class than me. I held on for the first one, then lagged 5-15 seconds behind their breakneck speed. After 4, I desperately wanted to play the old man card, and take one off, but I couldn't wimp out. I started keeping my own time at this point, and was gratified to find we were well under 3:00, so I relaxed a little bit and let them run away. I finished out the set, and kept them around 2:55, +/- 4 seconds.
Sprinklers on the 3rd turn of each lap kept us nice and cool/soaked.
What a killer workout. 2 mile cooldown.
Afterward I was so wiped out/lazy, I didn't make it to work till 9. It was nice to be home in the morning to feed and bathe some kids.

| Farmington and back with a lap around the park. Baby Gaby was fussing, so he came along for the ride. I inadvertently left Anna behind. She was so eager to come along she talked Tami into bringing her to meet me, hence the park lap. Lucky I brought my phone. Usually it stays home. Hot out.

| Long run. Met Jasmine and Cynthia 4 miles in. We ran on Legacy to Shepherd land, then back on Main Street. They dropped off at Glover, I continued solo home, then back to Smoot Park for tennis practice and a soak in the creek. Garmin died, so I had to map this one. Overall pace was under 8 minutes, including stops. Last couple miles I timed, and was at 7:20 pace, working very hard. I am tentatively encouraged by this run. One more 20 miler in this truncated training cycle...
