So last night I planned out this perfect 11-mile run for this morning! But I ran too slow so it ended up being too long... blah. And I had some running math problems too! Somehow I thought that 8x1:30 (12) plus 7x2:00 (14) was 36 minutes instead of 26, so I started my pushes at an inopportune time instead of waiting until I could do most of them downhill or flat. Unfortunate. Anyway... I did 8x1:30 pushes at 3 w/2:00 recovery in the middle of the run. Felt pretty wiped out from the get-go, so they weren't very fast or good-feeling. Oh well. (GT 168.5)

Great run today. Started off the run with a neighbor who wanted to try his hand at running. He made it almost a mile and was warn out, so he turned back. I continued on the LV/Fields loop, when I came around to the Summit, I went in and did my weight circuit, then finished the run back home. Went pretty well. (GT 176.6)

Slept in way late, so instead of braving the 100 degree weather, I drove over to the Summit and ran 88 minutes on the sweatmill. After I finished, I hopped in the pool, then drove home. (GT 187.6)

Did a version of the Vermillion/LV loop that extended out to the Summit and back so I could do my weight circuit. About 10 minutes in, I started the 8x20 second pushes at 4.5 - forgot that the recovery was supposed to be 1:00, did 40 seconds instead. Randomly, Nikki J drove up next to me in her car as I ran and we talked a bit. Funny stuff. (GT 196.5)

Easy out-and-back on the Virgin trail this morning. Nothing fancy. (GT 202.5)

Got up at some ungodly hour to run down the marathon course with Mike. Went pretty nicely, some slow miles and some fast. I think I'll stick with running with him post-marathon, that way I don't get forced to run sub-7:00's the whole way down! Legs still felt a bit tired out, good thing we took it easy. Had to add on a bit at the end to get to my 2 hours, but Mike was kind enough to help me out. (GT 217.8)
