This was a tempo run did a 1 mile warm up then did 4 miles trying for 7:50 pace. then last 0.5 miles was cooldown. Initially felt pretty good. I was able to do the run at the pace I wanted but the foot started to get pretty tight towards the end. I didn't get to ice it afterwards which made it worse all day as well. Here are my mile splits: 7:47, 7:55, 7:41 and 7:50.

Nice bike ride. First time on the new roadbike since I bought it. the handlebars came loose towards the end which made the last 7 miles interesting and certainly slower than I would have liked. the bike rides nice though and look forward to more rides. Ave speed: 15.5 mph.

Ran up Wasson again. It was a great day for it. It is nice and cool down here now. It was a bit windy today but felt really good. It was kind of fun today i started with some hikers and they asked how long it takes to do the hike I told them I was hoping for about 1:40, then told them i was running it though. On the way down I saw them about 1.75 miles into the hike. That felt really good. I walked a touch more then I felt like I did last week, maybe because of the longer bike ride yesterday. My time is back down to my July time though I am happy with that. I'm excited for the half this weekend.
