On the sixth grade trip with Dylan's class so too early for a run. Grabbed a few rough miles on the hotel TM while the kids swam/splashed all the water from the pool.

Legs felt rough so I walked a lot. That stunk.

Chaperoning a 6th grade overnight trip, and I planned to wake up at 5:45 and go run 6. I looked at the alarm, turned it off, and slept until 7.

Too tired to wake up early (a trend) so I ran at lunch. It takes a while, but nice to get some sun and heat(ish) training. Ran the same route, up the rims and back to the Y.

6, maybe a bit more. Watch died at 4.25. Ran the same route as yesterday, really helping with the Bighorn run I'll pace in a couple weeks. Warmish for here, 74F 25% humidity (tee hee).

16 miles this morning at 7:45. A really good run, once I got past 4 miles (took me that long to warm up the legs). I planned to do 12 but last week I did 14, so I figured I might as well keep running to the 8 mile turn around spot. After struggling through the first few miles, after warming up I just ran. I was doing a 9:25 pace which isn't fast, but I realized I could probably run that pace forever.

In two weeks I'm pacing a 100 miler for 18 miles, so I considered going 18 today but glad I chose not to as I didn't quite have enough liquids for the 16 miles (ran out of water with 2.5 to go but I knew it wouldn't kill me - or I hoped not anyhow). I forgot to bring salt tablets and those would've helped. I did have Gatorade with me instead of water so that helped a bit. The weather was fantastic, 60F 55% humidity, and a breeze in my face coming and going. Amazing.

After the run we went boating as a family for the first time this year and had a great time.
