AM- Ok,  I've got my 15 miler done today, my 5000 calories of Cafe Rio is down the hatch and beginning it's recovery job.  I'm now ready to blog and take a nap since it's my day off.  Started late this morning after getting much needed sleep last night and it made all the difference.  Finally a good solid 8 hours only interrupted once by a two year old rolling off the bed onto the floor.  Jeez.. our kids sleep like gorillas I swear!

Anyway, I have 15 miles with a progressive run at sub six  pace and then opening up again on the last 3 miles coming home between 5:06, 5:10, and then again for the last one in 5:10 also.  Had some tail wind there..   My fitness level seems to be really coming up on a endurance level now.  I don't feel as much fatigue and stiffness on these now and the heat does not bother me too much anymore.  A few more more weeks and then hopefully I'll start to peak by dropping the mileage and doing some short and fast VO2 work.

PM-5 miles easy on the recovery loop by trax and old Midvale.  No time, just went slow and easy to get some recirculation and aerobic backfill.

Yeah, Like I said I had some help there.

Nice to hear from you. Looks like things are well for you and training is going really well. You have had a lot of good mileage weeks strung together this year. It will pay off well.

Paul, Thanks. I am redlining things a bit I admit.. Was that you out running on 13th east late this morning by chance?

Definite recovery day tomorrow.

Steve, No, I was running early at the gym.
