Mon, Jun 23, 2008 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 3.40 | 0.00 | 3.40 | Quads and calves still extremely sore from my run down Millcreek Canyon from the cabin. In fact, not only sore, but they felt stiff and heavy. Turned back before going very far, 3.4 miles total at an 8:29 pace. The only reason I ran even that fast is that I was trying to keep up with A'Lissa. | | Add Comment |

Easy 4.3 miles at 8:26 pace. Ran south on 2700 East to the Peach St. house. P.M.
Timed Thatcher in 90 flys. I did a couple myself. I would have done
more, but it aggravated my shoulder stinger. Ouch.

Wed, Jun 25, 2008 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | I was up too late last night and slept in a bit to maintain my sleep. Planned on running at night, but the strength training session with the Skyline team when longer than planned, so it didn't happen. | | Add Comment |

Sat, Jun 28, 2008 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 5.03 | 0.00 | 5.03 | Today was the annual work day at Porter Fork, so A'Lissa decided to first start the day by running above the gate to take advantage of one of the last days the upper canyon is closed to cars. I don't know what the deal was, but I just didn't have it today. A'Lissa had to keep stopping to let me catch up. Part of the problem was continued breathing trouble--I need to start taking an inhaler again before runs--but that wasn't everything. I also just felt sort of sluggish. Anyway, extremely slow on the way up, faster, but still not very fast on the way down, for a total average pace of 9:15. We also cut it shorter than planned, only 5.03 miles. Then off to help clean up Porter Fork.

Mon, Jun 30, 2008 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 4.08 | 0.00 | 4.08 | I was a little short on time this morning because I got a late start and Thatcher asked me to be home in time to help him drive a second car up the canyon for him to drive down after his run (we ended up having Taylor pick him up). 4.08 miles in an easy, consistent effort, 8:40 pace. My exercised induced asthma has really been acting up lately, for the first time since I started taking Singular. | | Add Comment |
