My legs were still a little sore this morning from my last run so I didn't dare risk an injury by going out for another run. Instead I went to the gym and did 40 min of cross training. Intervals on the bike for 25 minutes and then intervals on the elliptical for 15. I love that elliptical! It is the kind where you can vary your stride all the way from a stair stepping motion up to a full out sprint all while it is in motion. It cranks my heart rate up and is very kind on my legs. I just hope the fitness it develops will transfer to my runs.

| Ran in the evening with my daughter after watching the Oregon Ducks receive an old fashioned whuppin from LSU. We ran from Grandhaven around the steel mill and up by the Gillas' to the Pardee's. Nice run. Not quite as sweet as last weeks long run, but still good. It was a clear starry sky night with a beautiful half moon. Great conversation with my daughter who will be turning 14 this month. I'm glad we have running in common as it will help keep us close through the turbulent teens.

| 11 pm forty min cross train at the gym. 30 min hard tempo ride on bike then 10 min of intervals on elliptical.Only three people at the gym tonight, two sullen looking muscular guys lifting weights and one pleasant looking lady working out on the elliptical.
Took the family to the Oregon State fair today. Ate too much junky food hence the need to wait until late to workout. Had to let it digest a bit.

| Evening run. Same route and time as last week, just an extra mile tacked on the end. Had a barking dog dart out of a driveway right before the gillas' house. I had my pepper spray and was ready to light him up, but when I turned to face him he put his tail down and ran back home. Coward. I don't like those dog encounters, but the extra epinephrine and cortisol my adrenal glands dumped into my blood stream did make the next mile or so a little easier.
This was a very difficult run and I'm not sure why. My breathing felt labored and my legs heavy the entire run. I guess some runs just feel this way. All I can do to fight back is get better quality workouts during the week, plenty of rest and better nutrition. Losing about ten pounds would make a huge difference too.

| Sweet evening run. 2 laps around stake center and duniway (our old bike route). Cool comfortable run. Nothing too eventful, just the usual somewhat strange people that are out walking the sidewalks late at night. Cant believe I felt so good running 8 after not a single bit of exercise all week. I guess it was just a looong taper. I know I can't get away with that on a regular basis. |

| 35 Min Stationary Bike at Gym. Listened to Jeffrey Holland talk "Remember Lot's Wife." from 2009 BYU Devotional. My legs are still very sore from Saturdays run. Not sure why they take so long to heal.

| Morning run from Chamber of Commerce around hill road and back to Birch. Beautiful sunny weather. Cool at the start of the run and pretty warm at the end.

| Nice soothing, relaxing 5 miler. Ran the church, chamber, wallace, bike path route in the dark at about 8pm.
I have been reading George Sheehan lately. Tonight I followed one of his recommendations regarding perceived effort. He said to have a very relaxing run, try running at about an effort of 6 on a scale of 1-10. I did and found that I had to constantly slow myself down. I think I usually try to push an 8.5 or 9 which is kind of stressful if done every workout. This is probably all pretty basic stuff for most people, but it is a new concept for me. Pretty cool!
