Very tired today, running in my sandals zapped my legs.  I guess that's really a good thing.

5.15 miles, half hour break for an appointment then 5.15 miles home.  I think I averaged 8:30 minute miles.  Only 91° during this run.  After a few runs in the 100s, this felt very cool.

3.5 miles at Liberty Park.  I thought I'd spank out at least 10 miles.  Got started, never felt right so I bagged it.  I can't say I quit because I didn't have anything specific planned, but if I'm going to make the effort to drive to Liberty Park to run, it's never for just 3 miles.  So I got back in the car and got my hair cut,  I look great!  

Enjoying the Tour de France, as I always do, but It might be over.  Chris Froome pretty much knocked everyone out today during the first mountain stage.  Looks like this tour is over after just beginning.  At least the sprint stages were somewhat interesting, but it doesn't look like we are going to get any good, competitive climbing fights.

Up and down City Creek from the Capitol.  I just accidentally erased my splits instead of saving them so this is from memory.  I know from the guard shack to the 4 miles mark my splits were pretty consistent at about 10:10.  Mile four to five was about 11:10, the last half mile was about 6:30.  Coming down I was running about 7:15, the last miles were about 7:25.  From the shack to the Capitol was about 7:49.  I'm a little sore today, (Sunday) this was my first aggressive up/down hill running since the Ogden marathon.

7 miles on the track 1:04:50  this is my longest run so far in my sandals.  Kind of hot today, 95°.  The first three miles were difficult, seriously though about stopping at 4, in fact, I thought I had to push it to get to 4.  Once I hit 4, the other three came easy.  ave 9:16
