| I've decided that if I ever want to run a fast marathon again, I've got to start doing some speed work again. So, I got started with some 400m repeats this morning. I ran to the middle school track then did 10 x 400m repeats with 400 m recovery jogs in between. I averaged 1:25 for the repeats. Then, I ran home easy.
Total run 9 miles

| It was a nice cool morning around 69 degrees and I enjoyed a nice easy trail run for 7 miles. Soon it is going to be really hot around here. I'm not looking forward to that.

| I ran easy a couple miles to the gym then hopped on the TM and ran 6 miles at 6:40 pace, then ran back home easy for a total of 10 miles.
We're supposed to get over 100 degrees today and up to 105 by Friday. I figure if I want to do a nice paced tempo run throughout the summer, I should do them on the TM. It gets way to hot to keep up that kind of pace for very long.

| 16 slow miles but not easy because of the heat. I took 3 20 oz bottles and drained them all with a few miles still to go. Guess it is time to start taking the bladder with me. It gets a bit scary out there in the desert when the water runs low. I did run into my first rattle snake of the summer. It was nice enough to give me a welcome rattle when I was still about 10 yards away. It was up in strike pose and did not stop rattling until I was around it and gone. Did I mention, I hate snakes.

| Wow! It got cold. It was 60 degrees with a strong breeze and trying to rain when I ran this morning. I enjoyed 7 trail miles on a nice cool morning in May. That is unheard of around here.

| Ran to the track, then did 4 x 1200 m averaging 4:25 with 400 m slow recovery jogs, then ran home nice and easy. This workout had me intimidated before I did it, but it ended up not being as bad as I thought it would be.

| I woke up feeling sluggish and still felt that way as I ran a couple miles to the gym. When I started running at 6:40 pace on the TM it felt pretty comfortable though and I kept running that pace for a full hour which is 9 miles. It actually felt pretty good even at the end. I then ran home which felt really tough even though I was going slow.
Total run- 13 miles

I saw the coolest thing when I was out running this morning. I heard this noise like a jet engine coming up over the crest and I looked up as saw this guy flying about 30 to 40 feet above the ground on a Fly Board. It's a little bigge than a skate board with jets. He flew over the crest slowed down, waved at me then took off again. I bet he was doing 50 to 60 mph. It was really cool to see. He made it look easy too.

| I didn't have a lot of time this morning. I had to drop of Cade, my 12 year old, for a dive. He is getting scuba certified. Then I did a quick 6 mile trail run before going back to pick him up. I ran a little faster than I should have on an easy day. HR was up to 145 for too much of the run.

| Ran to the track and met Blake there. We started 400 m repeats with 400 m jog recoveries. The plan was to do 12, but after the 8th some school guy came out and said they were closing up the track for the morning, so I took the long way home to get my total miles up to 9 for the morning.
8 x 400 m averaging 1:22

| I took a rare mid week rest day yesterday just because I didn't feel like running and I kinda liked it.
Today I ran easy to the track and met up with Blake there. I did 8x800 m repeats with 400 m recovery jogs. I averaged 2:57 for my 800s. Then I took the long way home running nice and easy.
Total run: 12 miles
