| | Late night with fireworks, cousins, grilling and swimming! So I slept in til 8, rolled out of bed and into my running clothes so I wouldn't have time to talk myself out of the run :) Windy out in the country - went south so I only had the one larger hill to work out on! Was amazed at how good I felt, started out slow then was able to kick it in to an 8:48 pace. Getting a little nervous for all the travel and car time will will have over the next week and half; between Spokane, Canada and back through again ....

| | Woke to 63 degree/overcast skies with a nice breeze. Rex and I ran from home to Skyline track 1.75 then warmed up for another quarter around the track. Was able to complete 6 - 800's with 400's in between. For the speed work out I held a 7:34 average pace. It was tough on the last two, but I dug deep (which felt really good to push myself hard). Cooled down for a bit at the track and then ran/jogged home at a 9:38 pace for a cool down. Total today I got 8 miles. Feeling good so far - have a lot to get done this week - what a great way to start it out!

| | Warmed up for 2 miles (9:10, 8:50) then picked up the pace for 5 miles at 8:32 average pace then jogged home for the last mile as a cool down. Nice summer rain this morning with cooler temps - so good to be out and about before my full day. Still doing yoga every day and my body feels the difference. I.Love.Yoga. After our two weeks of travel I would like to start hill training again so I'm ready for whatever comes my way!

| | Raining, hills, and mentally hard however- along the Centineal trail in Spokane along the river was beautiful! God sent his angels in pink shirts to stave me off from a creeper that had been following me back and forth on the trail & hiding in wait under an upcoming bridge - ah, Rex was out there with me too! |
