| After church- Sugarcreek trails. Lots of challenging hills and nice wide trails that go down by the river. I was suprised my legs showed so much life after my yesterday, but it was a most welcome surprise.

| AM- Wonderful 48º 8.25 recovery. Big block through shull gate. Pretty quiet morning.
PM- 76º 6 easy on the bike path. A handful of deer as the sun was setting helped keep the pace. A few bikers with annoying flashing lights.

| AM- 67º Humid, which is OK to run in, but I really got spoiled with those low 50 degree runs. Ran the classic - 10 Miles (w/ 2.5 miles @ HMP in the middle) and then intervals. 6x3 Mins w/ 2 min active recoveries. They turns out to be just shy of 1/2 mile intervals, about 725+ meters. These are always tough to pull after after 10 miles, but I hit my goal times all 6 of the intervals.. If I had to describe how I feel after in one word... J-E-L-L-O

Afternoon- 76° 6 more easy, then back to the grind.

| AM- 72° and went from cloudy to sunny half way through. The humidity and dew point were not very oppressive so that was in my favor despite it being too warm and wet for me. Lots of bikers out today as I did a different route today.
20 Miles. Underpass to county line to Kyle Park to Troy to the golf course and back. 2 Mile warm up and then 7 miles subMP, 2 mile cool down and then intervals. 11x 540m (roughly 1/3 of a mile) with 60 second active recoveries. Woof. That was challenging. That left me with a little under 4 mile cool down to wrap things up. If you want to see something really impressive, check Rhetts blog.

| AM- 59º cooler weather is back for a day and I like it! 8.25 around the big block through shullgate. A few friendly dog walkers. 11x30 striders in the middle.
PM- 77º Sugarcreek trails. Some of my favorite to run. Challenging loops, but took them kinda slow. 6.5 miles.

| AM- 66º 100% humidity. 8 Hours of 100% humid and no rain is heavy air. Don't get me wrong - you guys in FL, GA & TX have it worse I am sure - but it's heavy.
6x1 5x1 Mile repeats. Very tired/sore legs this morning, maybe I went to fast on the trails last night or its just the trials of miles.... miles of trials... I dunno. First 3 miles on rolling hills were hitting pace (6:55, 6:54, 6:56) despite not being flat so that was a mental boost. Mile 4 was 85% uphill and gut check, it was all I could do to hold a MP mile. Mile 5 was trashed legs after that hill. I got under MP and just over 1/2 MP but thats it so I scrapped repeat 6. Overall satisfied with the run and back to work.

| AM- Cooler 8.25 Miles through shullgate around big block. Suprisingly my legs felt 'OK' which I of course was happy about.
PM- Sunny and nice, but warm. 6 easy. Some punk kids wanted to race me. I kept my pace slow and they gave up quick enough. Amazing how fast they are for 50 meters and then give up. :p

| AM- Started cool, ended a little warm. Lots of people out walking dogs, biking, running. Ran from Fishburg over the dam in Taylorsville, to tadmor, to underpass to Kyle park. 3 Mile warmup then 16 MP Miles. As a reference for me BQ pace is 7:49. To actually get in pace is around 7:40. So my 16 miles were at 7:35 AP. Then 1 mile cool down. The encouraging part is I still had gas in the tank at the end of 20. I am tired sure, but knowing I had more in me was a mental boost. Race is 4 weeks from today. I have lots of travel starting Monday for about 12 days. I will have to be very creative the keep my miles up.

| On the road for work in Henderson, KY. Found a gem of a bike path... that doesn't allow bikes! KY hills and curves abound. Part of it was along the Ohio river so nice scenery. Ran the classic. 10 Mile warm and then intervals. 6x3 min with 2 min active recoveries. Despite the hills I hit pace (Sub10k) all 6 intervals.

| AM- 21 days until Virginia. Ran the bike path and went the way of rolling hills. Lots of people out. There were quite a few people walking 22 miles for the military to end suicide. With us being so close to Wright Patt AF base it makes sense that there was a decent size group walking. Very nice people and great cause.
2 Mile warm up and then18 miles a little bit faster than MP. 7:35 AP.

| AM- 34º Snow early. Bike path was still clear but wet. Tempo run. 3 Mile warm up and then 10 miles @ 10k-HMP on rolling hills. Those later miles up the dam hill were gut checks. 3 Mile cool down. A few other people out that surpised me with the cold. About 8 deer about and 1 that was fearless and stood by the bike path as I went by and never moved. 14 Days to race.

| AM- 32º crisp. Yet a skunk was out. Somehow that does not make sense.
PM- 40º 15+ deer at the park. For a minute I thought I might get run over.
Easy runs today that felt easier than normal. I'll take it!
