I thought I would add a little fartlek training in this week. I warmed up about 2.5 miles to Millrace Park. I ran 11 x 1 minute on/off. I planned on ten but I can't count and run at the same time. So, I got an extra one in. I ran home for a cooldown. 7:10 average for the entire workout. It felt strange to move fast.

I took Total Body Conditioning after running.It was tough after the faster workout.

I missed my morning run due to an overflowing toilet and flooding basement. So once I got the mess somewhat under control and eveey towel in the house in the wash, I went to the club to run on the treadmill. I ran an 8 mile progression run. I started at 8 mph and increased the pace every half mile. 55:07 for eight. I felt good but the run was boring. After I ran I did 2x 50 crunches, 1 minute plank, 3x 20pushups and 3x 15 tricep dips. Now I'm back home attacking the mess from this morning.

I don't think there's anything in life that a good run can't make you feel better about

4100 s to the River Trail. I made a pit stop at mile 5, where I found a very nice, black, lace, Victoria's Secret bra hanging in the bathroom stall. This was a bit disturbing as my mind considered all the circumstances of how it ended up there. I might have taken it with me, but not surprisingly it was too large. So, I left it where it was. I hope the owner finds it. Those are expensive bras.

6:58 pace.

2.5 mile warmup. 3 x 10 minutes hard with 5 minutes recovery inbetween. 9.4 miles in 63:30. I'm taking it nice and easy tomorrow before I fly to Portland.

Hot, windy, early run this morning.  I am definitely feeling the last couple of days.  I ran nice and easy.  SLCC loop plus a little extra through the neighborhoods.  Now I am off to Portland to see my sister graduate.  I'm looking forward to a nice cool, probably rainy run tomorrow morning.  Any suggestions on where to run?  My sister lives by the Nike campus in Beaverton, so I may go out there.  But, my hotel is by Portland State University and I'm carless.  Any good runs near the campus that anyone knows about?

Ten miles along the Waterfront Parkway in Portland. The weather was perfect for running this morning. Sea level running is so nice. I always love exploring new places. However, to say Portland has a large homeless population would be an understatement! 7:17 average.
