Ankle felt much better today. Still swollen though.

| My ankle was a bit tight and sore when I first started this morning but it quickly loosened up as I ran to the track. I met up with Blake and we did 6 x 1200 m with 1/4 mile slow recovery. I averaged 4:26 for my first 5 and then on number 6 my legs turned to jello and I only ran a 4:40. I then ran home nice and easy.
Total run: 12 miles
I'm now icing my ankle as I post this. It's a bit sore, but I think it will be fine to run on again tomorrow.

| I was dreading this run this morning knowing how painful it can feel for the last few miles at tempo effort. I did a mile warm up nice and easy then started my 9 mile run on the TM @ 9 mph (6:40 pace). The first 10 minutes or so seemed fast, then I started to settle in and find a nice rhythm. I ended up finishing the 9 miles in one hour feeling pretty good like I could keep going for a while. That's a first on that run for me. Then I did a mile cool down.
11 total miles.

| I didn't realize how sore my ankle still was till I went out on the trails for the first time since spraining it. The first couple miles hurt, but then it loosened up and I was fine for the rest of the run. I did step very carefully over the rocky technical parts.
9 miles, 92 degrees, sunny

| There is something wrong with me. I ran on the TM for 4 hours this morning...and I liked it.
It was way too hot to run outside this morning, 97 at 4:30, so I went to the gym, set the TM to 7 mph and ran 28 miles. The first 3 hours I listened to pod casts and the last hour music.

| I had to work today and by the time I was done it was over 120 outside, so I just did some deep water running for about 30 minutes while swimming with the family.

| It was 94 degrees at 5:00 this morning and muggy out. Yuck.
I ran to the track and met up with Blake for some mile repeats. I haven't done mile repeats in years so I wasn't sure what to expect. We did 4 x 1 mile with half mile slow jog recovery. I ended up doing 5:57, 5:54, 5:56, 5:59. I wasn't expecting to do them all under six but I was excited that I did. Then I ran home.
Total run 11 miles.

| 4 easy trail miles before heading out for a well earned recovery week in San Diego.
I was surprised how good my legs felt after yesterday's 28 miler.

| 4 easy miles with my brother along the beach this morning.
And I'm giving myself 2 miles of speed work for all the sprinting I did playing football and ultimate frisbee on the beach. I'm sure it was actually more, but I didn't think to start my watch to see just how far.

| 6 miles solo on the bike path that follows the shoreline.
I played a lot of spike ball with my nephews today. Lots of diving in the sand.

| After a recovery week with lots of beach activities, I was excited to get up and run in my new Saucony Kinavara 8s I picked up while in San Diego. Unfortunately I started with a fever Saturday night and spent yesterday not feeling well. I slept better last night and didn't feel too bad this morning so I tried my planned 10 x 800 m speed work.
I ran to the track and then started. I could not keep up my normal pace for the first 2 800s and then fell way off normal on my third and was feeling lightheaded, so I called it a day and ran home slowly for a total run of 6 miles.
Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow. Now I have to go survive work after being gone for a week.

| I still feel terrible. I did attempt a run though. 4 miles on the trails. I was VERY weak and tired though. Hopefully I kick this thing quickly.

| Still not feeling great.
Ran on the TM: 1 warm up, 5 @ 6:35 pace, 2 cool down
Usually I do 9 at tempo pace but feeling ill still 5 was all I could handle today.

| Actually felt worse today. Now it's in my lungs and I'm coughing and feeling weak and light headed.
I did manage to run 10 really easy miles in the TM though.
