It's way easier to keep the HR down running on the roads than it is on the trails...not nearly as fun though.

| MAF Test #3
It's been 6 weeks since I started training at Maximum Aerobic Function Heart Rate. I did my 3rd test today and was actually slower than my initial 2 tests. I was hotter and windier out today than the last 2 tests. Maybe I need to start doing my tests on the TM so I can be sure I am comparing apples to apples.

| I have decided to run to seminary each morning and then run back home afterwards. I have to get up around 4:30 to make that happen, but I tried it this morning and enjoyed it. It is 7 miles round trip.
After getting home I still had a little time so I threw on my trail shoes and got in 3 trail miles also.

| Did my normal run to seminary this morning. On the run home I stopped at the gym and did 3 miles on the TM before finishing my run home. I wanted to set a baseline MAF Test on the TM so that I can better follow my improvement in a more controlled setting than outside on the track where temps and wind play a factor.
MAF Test: Mile 1-7:54, 2-8:02, 3-8:07
Total run today 10 miles

I took a longer way home from seminary today down by the lake so I could see if I have time to squeeze in a swim on the way home. Looks like I should be able to do about a 25 minute swim and still get back early enough to make it to work on time. I'll probably start doing that a couple days per week.

| Another hot morning and a bit humid (for us) also. I headed out around 6 am and ran a bit over 13 miles on the trails this morning. It felt good to get back out on the trails.

\I ran down to the lake after seminary this morning and swam for about 20 minutes then finished running home. I have a ways to go till I'm ready to swim 1.2 miles for my half IM in November. Good thing I still have 2 1/2 months.

| 13 mile trail run with Blake this morning. We are trying to get our legs ready for our Grand Canyon Rim to Rim run. It's definitely a different running experience on the trails as opposed to the roads. It was really hot as usual, but a lot of fun.

| I woke up at 4am so I would have time to stop at the gym on my run to seminary this morning and do a MAF test. I improved a lot on my MAF since my last one:
TM miles: 1- 7:35, 2- 7:52, 3- 7:59 all keeping the HR under 141
Total run- 10 miles
Avg HR 136
Then I headed out for a bike ride, but got a flat 2 miles in. No biggie...so I thought. I quickly changed the tire and then went to fill it and realized that my valve that conects to the CO2 cartridge was missing. I had to call Doone and get her to come rescue me. End of bike ride.
