AZ Run Dad

5.75 Miles @ 7:13 pace.  Felt good today.  I felt like a runner again (just a heavier one).  Legs felt completely light and bouncy for the first time since marathon.  We've really been enjoying the Olympic Trials.  It will be interesting to see if they end up letting Allyson Felix in.  I'm not sure how it works with a tie but I do know that Felix is one of the most popular athletes and NBC pays a ton for the coverage.  I hope nothing weird happens behind the scenes that causes the other woman to miss out.

6 easy miles. Effort seemed a little harder because of the heat (90 at 3:30 am). I'll have to adjust my paces accordingly. I did enjoy being back in my routine of waking up early and running before work. This is going to be a great sports week with the track trials, swimming trials, and Wimbledon.

6 early morning miles. I felt great this morning. Effort/body felt great. 6:56 pace.

8 easy miles. Was planning on off or 4 miles but a trip to the brewery and three pieces of cake for Allison's birthday made it easy to go longer today.

Easy 6.25 miles. Up at 6000 ft with the family in Showlow, AZ for a great weekend in the cooler weather. Ventured out and found some trails and ended up on a great trail around a lake. Pretty cool run and the weather was great!

8 moderate miles. 7:13 pace. Even on vacation I like to get up at the crack of dawn to run. It was worth it as I had an awesome sunrise run along the trails around Fools Hollow Lake in Showlow. It's still warm here but the mornings are nice and cool. It beats Phoenix running that's for sure.
