Got up early to do my last long run for a while.  I was kind of dreading it in a way because I knew I would be solo again.  I packed 12ozs of Heed and wore a long sleeve shirt because it was 45 degrees when I left.

I ran out around the Cove pond, down 6400 W., and up Main and Butterfield Canyon.  Butterfield gets pretty tough after 10 miles.  I tried to push it back, but the head wind that started up slowed me up a bit, especially on the uphill miles.  I was trying to break 2:20:00, but even with my last 3 miles in 18:10 I was a little short.  My first mile was 8:26 and my last mile was 5:48.  I averaged 7:43 for the first 10 miles and ran 1:03:15 back.   Felt fine other than some tightness in the right hammy.  I am still congested and coughed up a lot of junk along the way.  Hopefully I will get over all of that in the next two weeks.  Glad to get this one done.  I probably won't do another 20 miler until August now.  I need to work on some shorter faster stuff this summer.  2:20:31 for the run.

Long day today at work.  I am also a little tight from yesterday.  It took me a while to get going today.  I went out on Leila and onto Prospero and up on to Emeline.  Came back on Rosecrest and then took the little trail back down to Leila, then home.  30:30 for the 4 miles.

Ran up to Butterfield Park and back.  Nice weather, and it felt good to run off some of today's stress.  Hammy felt better.  29:01

I got up early because I have graduation today and figured I wouldn't have time to get a run in later.  I went out to Butterfield Park nice and easy and then did tempo home.  I went 2:50 for the .5 then 5:58 (uphill), and 5:37.  Felt decent.  7:06 pace for the run.  I will try to get a good tempo in on Saturday.

Got up and drove up Butterfield Canyon a couple of miles for a big workout, at least big for me.  I wanted to hit 10 miles at 6 min. pace or better.  My first 10 was great, 5:50 pace around 36:10.  Then I hit some good uphill and a stiff South wind in the next few miles that slowed me down a little.  My first mile was 6:02, Mile 7 was 6:08, and mile 9-10 were 6:16 and 6:30, the other 6 were under 6 min pace.  I ended up with a 59:42 for the 10 miles.  Felt pretty good, still a touch congested though, and it got warm quick.  The wind the last 2 miles kicked my butt!  This was a great run for me overall though.
