6 miles along the Providence bench before heading into court.

 

10 miles at night in the river bottoms of Minneapolis.  Amazingly beautiful night with a bajillion fireflies

10.5 miles in the morning in Minneapolis, Tempo run but pretty sore.  Ran mostly around 6:15 pace.

10 miles in the evening, 1 mile repeats with 7:45 pace rest in between.  Pretty sluggish and painful at first and then it all shook out.  Great workout day sandwiched around 10 hours of work.

17 hour day at work today battling thunderstorms and a new copilot.  Tried to get into Denver and had to hold for an hour and divert for fuel to Fort Collins, CO.  Couldn't get in there because of low level wind shear and diverted again to Colorado Springs.  Had to wait 2 hours for the storms to blow through Denver before I felt comfortable enough to try another approach in.  Finally landed in Denver and loaded up for San Fransico.

I headed out to the Bay Trail for a run, but no kidding, I fell asleep in the elevator on the way down to the lobby, so embarrassing.  So I ran an easy 5.3 and called it a day.

Totally missed the scheduled workout.

A beautiful trail run in Costa Rica!  Get home tonight at 12am and have the longest trail run I will have ever attempted to do from Logan Peak to Bear Lake.  That should cement in the "marathon shuffle" I'm working on in my gait..

Got into Salt Lake last night at 2am and hit a 3 miler with Jessie since I was so tired of traveling

Since Utah Running Guide had the Freedom Run listed as this morning I had thought I was going to run that, even registered for it, but when I was driving home last night I googled it and saw that it was Monday.  Oh well, that means a gym workout with some speed today before heading to the lake and then getting in my trail run over to Bear Lake tonight.  Need to shake out the sluggishness that has been stalking me for a month.  Schedule shows some speed work so I gave it a good effort..Lol!  3 miles at 6 minute pace followed by 3, 1 mile repeats at 5 min pace with 1/2 mile cooldown runs in between.  It feels like the distance training has cost me about 15% in speed right now, but I feel it's a necessary trade for the intervals that are coming up..

 

Off to sit on the boat for the afternoon and then hit the trail this evening..

Got in 24.6 tonight heading over to Bear Lake straight up from Mt. Logan above my home.  Just got in at 11pm. I didn't make it all the way before my ride showed up, but still a great day of training!
