"In truth, runners don't race other runners. They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares. And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better." Running for His Life by Michael Hall.

| | 9PM: Easy run over to the Church and back. I've been put in charge of making sure the building is secure every evening this week. No big deal, just doing the Lord's work. | |

| | 630AM: Easy run on a pleasantly cool morning, high 60's. Still have very poor air quality, orange alert, from the fires and dust blowing around. More hip and hamstring/glute pain. Not an intense pain but more of a radiating pain. I've gone through this before and it got better after a few weeks of doing some strengthening exercises. Hoping for the same this time around. 930PM: Another easy run. Looking into going gluten free. It was my wifes idea but I thought what the heck, maybe it will help me with my GI issues? |

Noon: Easy progression run- Muni Park & BC River Trail. 85 degrees and the air quality is still on orange alert due to the fires. Felt like I was breathing through a straw. We need a nice rain storm to move all of this smoke out but the long range forecast doesn't look promising. 930PM: Easy.

| | 9PM: 88 degrees and less smoky. 2M warm; 45 min. @ tempo effort; cool. Couldn't run this at a strict tempo pace so I focused on effort, i.e. comfortably hard. Legs just wouldn't go any faster than 7:20 to 7:30 mi pace. Nevertheless, it felt good to do some non-easy running. |

| | Noon: 84 degrees. Easy recovery run on GB from FF Memorial to Willow Lane. Left hammie/piriformis really acting up. I could feel twinges of pain on even the slightest incline. I'm going to lay off the trail running for a while. I think the uneven surface (sand) I ran on at Lake Powell brought it back with a vengeance and it just got progressively worse since. | |

| | 630AM: Easy run. Cool temps, upper 60's. Piriformis/hips felt a little better this morning after a hardcore stretching and strengthening session last night before bed. I've also tried to concentrate on staying in the road or path v. running on the sidewalk. Asphalt is a little more forgiving than the concrete sidewalks. I think there's a cumulative impact to running so many miles on concrete that should be avoided if at all possible. Going long, 20-22 mi, tomorrow! |

| | 930am: Easy long run on GB from Glenwood to almost Barber Park and back. Wish I would have gotten out of bed earlier. It was 90 degrees by the time I finished. Smoke was thick and the whole valley smells like a campfire. Hips and left hammie still barking. Scared myself a couple of times pushing off on a couple of small inclines. Had to make a conscious effort to shift my weight to rt side and not push off hard. Not exactly conducive to running hard but at least I'm running. |
