16 mile long run starting with a 12 mile progression and then a 4 mile cool down. 12 mile progression started at 7:02 and ended with a 5:31. Averaged 6:12 for that and was pretty much done. I couldn't have gone much further. Durin the 4 mile cooldown I could tell I was wasted. It was a warm morning which helped with the suffering. Too bad its only going to get worse. Splits for the progression were 7:02, 6:46, 6:38, 6:33, 6:24, 6:17, 6:08, 6:00, 5:50, 5:44, 5:37, 5:31. Although I was wiped out I feel pretty good about this run. Right now my running is going pretty well but I'm just not motivated enought to completely lock in to all the other stuff.

3.75 mile warm up then into a 4 mile tempo with splits of 5:42, 5:33, 5:28, 5:20. 2.25 cool down. Tempo was tough towards the end. I didn't look at my watch once during the 4 miles. It was kind of fun to check to see what the splits were . Maybe I should do this more often. Our trip to Duluth for the Gary Bjorkland is off so I'm not training for anything at the moment.

14 miles: 3+ mile warm up then into 3 x 2 mile repetitions with 3:30 jogging between. Splits were 11:05 (5:31, 5:34), 10:56 (5:29, 5:27), 10:56 (5:28, 5:28). This was pretty hard. I couldn't have done another set at that pace today. I didn't have a plan when I walked out the door so I'm really happy with this workout. 4 miles cool down after. For the time being I'm enjoying not being on a schedule and just making up things as I go.

8 easy miles. I actually saw other human beings out this morning. Boy Scouts moving things from a house was an interesting 3 am sighting.

8 miles including strides: Decided to sleep in this morning which meant if I was going to run it was going to be on my way home. Since it was 108 degrees I was going to be happy with four miles. Fortunately I felt good enough to get eight miles and some strides in. I really didn't think I could make it that far so I was really happy to get this one in. It's super dry here right now or esle this wouldn't be possible for me.

10 miles with some random attempted workouts. Started a slower 5 mile tempo with a sluggish 6:11 and called it off. After a 1/2 mile of jogging I decided to do something faster so I ran a 5:21 mile and that was enough so I finished with some easy running.

Ran some trails in Pine, Arizona. They were pretty hard. I average 9:30 pace or so for about 45 minutes of running.

Nice little run on some small back roads in Strawberry, AZ. I saw a family of Elk which was cool.

8 miles or so on the way home from work at Freestone Park. Just a Timex today but I know some of the mile points  so I can take a pretty solid guess on the mileage. It was 105 degrees but felt fine with the wind.

10 miles at 7:09 pace. Seemed long. Up at 2:30 is harder than it used to be.

In Tahoe. Out early and found some trail running along the lake for a mile or so. So peaceful.
