After two days off taking care of my infected foot with antibiotics and rest I ran this morning. I do have a doctor's appointment at 4pm today to do a re-check on my toe. There's still a little infection left, but I had no pain running this morning.

I ran 10.22 miles today at a overall pace of 6:48 in 1:09. After the two days off my legs felt fresh, but I didn't want to push the pace in the beginning so I did some faster miles at the end of the run (6:41, 6:28, 6:10, 5:57). I really need to get back on the track for speed work . I haven't done any speed work for three weeks, but I've done a lot of tempo runs in my runs to keep my speed up. I really need to start pressing harder in my tempo runs to drop the mile average down to at least a 5:40 I think that really needs to be my main focus to get faster, and accompany this with long endurance runs with tempo miles in them too.

 PM. two miles tonight downhill.  My wife let me out of the car about to 2 miles from our Dog's obedience class and I ran the rest home.  I wanted to get a taste of running in the 90 degree heat which I really did feel.  Probably because I only ran two miles.

Today I ran my standard Satterfield hilly loop 11.1 miles at a 6:39 pace in 1:14. Into the 6th mile I was caught into a thunderstorm that made me do a mini tempo towards the end (6:17, 5:55,6:06,6:01) cool-down 6:25.  I can't remember the last time I was this soaked, but it was a good soak because of the warm temperatures.  My big toe is looking great with no more infection even after the rain soaking my feet. 

I like this course because it's a challenge to get up the hill every week, and then you know how good your fitness is after you get up the to see how well your legs handle the flat part and the downhill part.

AM: Easy run for 7 miles with the dog than I picked it up for the last three miles (6:48, 6:22, 5:57). Total 10.5 miles at a 7:02 pace in 1:14. The run felt easy I had to push my dog over a couple hills. I've sort of done a mini tempo run on the last three runs. I'm just trying to mix the training up a bit. I feel my fitness is there for a good marathon time

Lunch: 3.5 miles (6:53, 6:34,6:10).

This morning I ran an easy 12.31 at a 7:02 pace.  I picked  it up the last four miles (6:34, 6:31,6:12, 6:19). Eight of the miles I ran with the dog.  Probably starting next week the dog is going to have to stay home so I can get serious running in before the Sept. 1st Poky Marathon.  The weather was overcast today so I wasn't burning up like yesterday.  But it was my own fault for getting hot yesterday, I picked the wrong type of clothes to wear. 

 
Tomorrow I plan on doing my long run of 18 to 20 miles, because I can't do it Saturday, because were having a church yard sale to raise money for kids to go to church camp, and that is way more important than my running.

Lunch:   6.2 miles at a 6:49 pace, and most of it in a nice drizzling rain. I ran a couple rolling hills which was good conditioning for the run.

Today I ran 22.80 miles of the Pocatello Marathon course at a 6:44 pace,  just trying to keep it easy no fast miles.  I started running at 4:50am, and WOW! it's dark when your up at a 6100 altitude.  Every curve in the road seemed different and I definitely didn't follow the correct running Tangent for the course.  I felt really good, and new that I could really pick it up towards the end if I wanted too.  It took me 2:32 to finish which is great being on my feet that long, because I really wanted to test my Asics Ohana Racer shoes.   The course is a lot like Des News  except you have a decent hill at mile 20 that's less than half a mile long.  Now a nice recovery run tomorrow.

Morning run:

6.6 miles today with the dog at an easy pace. I ran late in the day in the 90 degree weather, and

I could tell my dog was feeling it. This was a recovery run from the 22 miles yesterday, and I just ran around our neighborhood.

Tonight at 10pm I went to the track and did some warm-up miles then ran 10 x 100m strides. Total mileage 5.1 at an overall pace of 6:44.
