| Nice easy run with Ash on her bike. It was a blue shirt day. The last two times we've gone running, we ended up with the same color shirts, and then the other runners we've seen also had on the same color...so I've got her convinced that runners plan out what color shirts to wear, and everyone knows which color it is each day. We stopped at her school to see her teacher; school starts next week, and she is very excited. No pain in the tibia today, but I know it's lingering there right under the surface. I need to get some of the miles in on the grass or trails just to soften things up. Does anyone have recommendations on compression sleeves? My legs are tiny... |

Jack was fussing around 5:30. I thought milady could use a break so I got up, changed his pants, ate some oatmeal, swaddled him, pumped up the tire in the stroller, and headed out. We ran on quiet, dark streets to Lund Ln and frontage, slowly, then returned home. Best of all, we traveled in safety. He always stays awake for the first 2 miles, looking around. By 2.5, he's asleep. He's so small, I'm surprised how much I slow down, but I guess being careful to find the less bumpy way cuts the pace. Ugh. Someone just turned on the creepy music in his swing. I better go fix that...

| I started around 8 p.m. on the soccer field. I want to baby my legs a little bit during this ramp up. For some reason I got it into my head I needed to run faster. I blame Trap, for posting all his super-fast splits. So the idea was 2 miles "fast" then 2 recovery then 2 "fast and 1 cooldown. Running .53 mile loops around a soccer field is kinda boring, but not at this time of the evening. Enough clouds had rolled in that the sky was an ever-changing tapestry of color while the sun sunk low and finally set. I brought an iPod and some water, which also helped, as did occasional sprays by the huge sprinklers. There was also a nice pile of crushed ice someone dumped from their cooler that I used to my advantage. I had a massage earlier in the day, so my whole body felt weird and relaxed. 7:10, 7:00, 8:04, 7:26, 6:49, 6:41, 8:06. 7:20 overall pace. |

| Tonight I did a mile with my 5 year old so she could practice riding her bike to school. After I got her home, NEGAJ all came on bikes and in the stroller. The road to legacy was closed, so we ended up in the bike lane to the baseball complex. It was dark and slow, which was just what I needed. I beat myself up a little bit yesterday between the hard workout and massage. Nothing feels right today. An off day tomorrow should help, if I don't get carried away with 2nd job yard work. |

I've been looking ahead to this run for months. It's been rattling in my head for quite a while, and today I finally undertook the challenge. I started at the B, and ran up Skyline Drive for 9.3 miles, turned around and came back to my car. If I had to pick a single word to describe this route, it's RELENTLESS. Most runs present varied terrain with ups and downs of varying grades for recovery. Until mile 9 there wasn't a discernible break in the climb. For most of it, I only held out for a couple songs before walking and drinking. The road is dirt, and despite it being quite early, rednecks were in a hurry to get to some convention up at the top of the mountain. The run was very reminicent of Avon Pass, with billowing clouds of dust. I hoped it would be 10 degrees cooler, but for the first time this week, temps didn't drop much overnight. I needed all 2.5 liters of water I carried, plus one Gu and some caffeine gum. By the time I reached my turnaround mile, I had climbed to 8400'. Between the heat, grade, altitude and views, I was feeling pretty heady. Coming back down was a pleasure for the first 5 miles. Then the run began to catch up to me. I hit 18 in a switchback with the "headwaters" of Stone Creek passing under the road. I went right in and soaked for 10-15 minutes. Ice baths aren't that bad when they don't involve ice. This run was beyond anything I could write about it. There's something about the high places. I can't wait to run this in the fall after a bit of rain has knocked down the dirt. Also, I want to drive up, and enjoy the traverse miles over to Francis peak and Farmington Canyon without all the climbing. I could really break myself against this mountain. :) 3000+' of climb http://connect.garmin.com/activity/108114357
