I went on a 5 mile bike ride with Nicole this morning just to loosen the legs up.  It was already getting hot around 9:00am so we did not go farther.

It was 57 degrees with a light breeze this morning.  I ran 13.27 miles and once my quads warmed up I was feeling really good.  I finished strong with 3 sub-7 miles.

It was a nice cool 48 degrees when I left.......70 when I got back.  The high desert air heats up quick.  I ran 23.15 miles in a nice, steady pace.  I almost had to back track after I turned at Indian Hills.  There was an electronic sign that said the Cheyenne crossing would be closed from 7:00am to 6:00pm on July 21.  I looked at my watch....yup it's the 21st.....and it's 7:30.  Luckily they were just getting set-up and I snuck through while they were not paying attention.  This happened to me on Memorial Day and I had to run back around the way I came.

It was 51 degrees and calm this morning.  My legs were kind of dead after yesterday so I took it easy.  I ran 13.61 miles and did not push it at all.

It was 52 degrees this morning.  I ran 15.21 miles on my ISU loop.  I kind of feel like I have been dragging this week.  We have a lot going on getting ready for my daughters wedding in 16 days and stay up later at night getting stuff done.  I am glad I do not have a marathon until mid August.

It was 71 degrees this morning and overcast.  It drizzled a little rain on me at the end of my run but nothing serious.  I ran 14.34 miles.  The first half I ran most of them with Bob, so they were slower (around 8:30).  I like to run with him periodically as we have great conversations about running.  He has run EVERY day for over 30 years.  He is 56 now but has a 2:34 marathon PR in his past and is moving towards 100,000 lifetime miles!

After Bob finished I stepped on the gas and ran some good tempo miles (sub 7) to finish out the day.

It was 62 degrees and cloudy this morning.  I ran 15.44 miles with 10 really nice miles after I was warmed up.  I am getting more spring in my step every day and it feels great.
