First run: I wasn't able to do my long run on Saturday as my baby was born. That put me behind my mileage plan for the month. It was really weird I got this pain in my foot on Saturday even though I didn't go running. I decided it might be a flair of gout. I've never had gout before but the pain was right at my 1st mtp. Hopefully this won't become a problem. The first run was slow because I was pushing my toddler in the stroller in the wind. AP 8:40.

2nd run: ran with my neighbor which also made this run slow. I thing it was good for the toe pain. AP: 8:57.

Ran up wade road again. I felt pretty good. I did the last 5 miles at either 8 min pace or 7:45 pace depending if it was uphill or downhill. AP 8:13.

Did 2.5 laps up beacon hill. It felt really hard today. Maybe because of all the miles earlier this week.

Had to break the run up today because of my sons tball. I ran up Wasson peak for sunrise. Nice run. I did feel a little more tired than usual. I haven't been sleeping as well with the new baby. The time was still about the same as it has been recently. AP 11:32. Distance 7.8.

The 2nd run was in the heat of the day (only 85), the heat really seemed to sap the energy. I'm going to have to get used to the heat or else no sleep. After the run I felt pretty nauseas. I was worried I was coming down with the same thing my family all had. It passed after sleeping though so I'm not sure now. It might have just been exhaustion with dehydration. I did this run on roads. Distance 9.2 AP 8:27.
