| After 3 rest days, (I did work yesterday but I pretty much slept all weekend.) I felt good enough to run again this morning. I was not 100%. I had to walk some of the hills that I usually run, but I got in 8 slow miles on the trails.

TM 1 mile warm up, 5 at 6:35 pace, 2 cool down
Obviously I am still not 100% because that was a long as I could hold that pace. I did feel a little more energetic this morning though. And I was a big sweaty mess when I was done. Gross!

| 6 on the trails. No energy today. I'm going to be se happy when I get back to feeling like my normal self. If running always felt like it has the last couple weeks, I'd give it up.

| I ran to the track this morning and found the gate locked, so when Blake showed up, he drove us down to the island (the only flat place to run in Havasu), and we ran on the bike path. We did some warm up and then 3 x 1 mile and then coool down. I was way slower today than I have been lately doing mile repeats on the track. I was in the low 6:20s. I definitely prefer doing my speed work on the track where I can guage my time and distance better.
Total run: 8 miles

| Chase is a Cubs fan and they were playing the Diamondbacks last night so we went to the game. We live 3 hours from Phoenix. Of course he wanted to stay till the end. Since it was late and I wanted to stay awake I took a 5 Hour Energy as we were about to head home. Let me tell you, it worked. We got home at 1:30 and I was wide awake. I layed in bed and read until I got drowsy and fell asleep about 2:30. Then I woke back up at 4:30 feeling completely awake. I layed there and tried to go back to sleep, but gave up at 5:15 and headed to the gym for a run.
TM- 5 miles at 7mph then got bored with that and started a progression run over the next 5 miles, ending at 10mph.
Now I'm home and showered and still feeling wired. I'm sure I will crash soon and get a few hour nap.
Oh and the Cubs won.

| Blake had to be at work early this morning so I was on my own for speed work. After running to the track, I did 4 x 1 mile with half mile recovery jog. My legs didn't have the turnover it did before I went on vacation a few weeks ago, so I was disappointingly slow especially after the first one. Anyways I stuck with it and did all 4, then ran home easy for a total of 10 miles.

| Today was the first morning since May that the temperature was below 90! And, it was all the way down at 84 with only 5% humidity. It was so nice. We're even supposed to have a few more days with temps in the 80s for our low. I'm pumped.
Anyways, I celebrated with 10 easy on the trails.

| I had an early work meeting in Kingman this morning which is a little over an hour from my house, so I got up at 4:00 to get my run in.
TM
1 mile warm up
9 miles at 6:35 pace
1 mile cool down
It felt good to be able to do that run at that pace again for the first time in about a month. Maybe my legs are coming back.

Wih the weather being back in the 80s in the early morning, Blake and I decided to take our long run outside for the first time in a while. I got in 21 miles nice and easy. By the end of the run it was up in the 90s and it wore on Blake some so he cut his run a little shorter

10 nice and slow on the trails. Legs were tired from yesterday's run but not sore at all.

| 5 am, 92 degrees and the humidity was back :(
I ran to the track and met up with Blake.
5 x 1600 m with 800 m recovery jog.
I did my first 4 all sub 6, averaging 5:56 and then my legs tied up on me during the last half of the fifth one and I ran a 6:10.
Then I ran home nice and easy for a total of 12 miles.

I was surprised how good I felt all the way through the run. I was expecting to hurt at the end but I was feeling good enough to crank it up to a 6:20 mile on the 9th mile of the fast part of the run.

| Dang it! My right calf tightened up on me a few miles into a nice slow run this morning. Looks like I will be forced into some recovery time over the next week. Hopefully I'll then be able to get in a few quality runs before I need to move into tapering. I'm only 3 weeks and 2 days out from race day.
6 miles. 3 of them were walking though.

| 60 minutes on elliptical again this morning.
I had some extra time at lunch today so I went on a walk in the 112 degree heat. I decided to test the calf a bit and did some light jogging intermittently. It didn't hurt at all. I ended up doing 2 miles. I think I am going to try a really slow easy run tomorrow morning if it still feels good.

Calf felt perfect, no pain and no tightness. I'll go farther tomorrow.
