| You squeeze them in when you can. En route from Denver to Nauvoo, IL we stopped for lunch in North Platte, Nebraska. I got in a quick run while the kids ate lunch. Hot, sunny, humid. OK. (6:44) | |

| Didn't get to Fort Madison until 2am. Slept until 8 and then headed out. My family was driving from the Hotel to Nauvoo, which as about 15 miles so I decided to run it. I found out, when I got to the bridge crossing the Mississippi that they didn't allow pedestrians. I had to hitch hike across. It was already pretty hot. The run went ok, all rolling hills. Kept it easy. I was drained and dehydrated by the end. Spent the rest of the day touring. My legs were not happy to be walking all day. (7:04) |

This race is a pretty big deal. People come from all over the country to run it. Well, 1 did. I couldn't fine a race today so I decided to hold my own 5K on the track. Conditions: 78 degrees, slight wind on the back stretch, sunny. Competition: An older woman doing 10 minute pace in lane 5. Splits: 5:11, 5:08, 5:10, :30 - 15:59 It wasn't quite race effort. Hard to push at the end on my own. I think this is my un-aided PR. Sure is easy to breathe down here!

| Last night was my FIRST Wisconsin fish fry. All you can eat fried fish buffet. My plan this morning was to run 8-10 mile @ MP. I had 4 pit stops during the warm up. I felt pretty ill. I knew this was going to go badly but I thought I'd try, just in case things woke up. They didn't. I made it 2.8 miles at 5:40 pace through some gentle rolling hills before being forced back to the trees. I gave up and crawled home. Last night was my LAST Wisconsin fish fry. |

Met a large group of masochists at the Lehi High track this morning at 5am.
Scott, Matt, Reed, Karl, Zack and Toni joined in for the fun. 3 mile warm up. 1 lap of strides. 7x800m, 1x400m Splits: (2:29, 2:28, 2:28, 2:27, 2:21, 2:26, 2:20, 1:03) We took turns leading. It was great to have a big group, it's amazing how much that helps in a workout. Mile cool down on the squishy turf.

| Ugh. Everything about this day, excepting the race part, were great. Matt and I drove to Springville at 4:20 am. Hopped the bus. Ran into Dave, Bill and Justin at the start. 1.5m warm up. I was feeling a little tight and my stomach was slightly unsettled but I still thought I could run well. The first 5 went well enough. Rolling hills, mostly down. Averaged 5:20s. I could tell after the 2nd mile that it was not going to end well. The wheels started to come off around 7. Legs were dead, stomach was raging. I took a 50 sec potty break at 8. Couldn't get back on pace. Mentally threw in the towel and cruised in at 6:00-ish. By the time I saw Spencer I was really hoping he had my roller skates ready but he didn't come through for me. I'm not sure what happened. My legs feel like I ran a marathon. |

| Big group for the provo river trail run. Karl and Zac were set on doing a 2x3m set, one up, one down. I knew I was still pretty hammered but decided to try anyway. I made it 1.75m @ ~5:40 on the way up before I decided to call it. I'm starting to feel a little better but not back in the saddle yet. |

| Met Matt, Toni, Ty and Brandon in Orem for a jaunt up Provo canyon. 8 up, 7:30ish. Decided last minute to throw in a little speed around mile 10. Ran 1.5m with Matt @ ~5:20 pace and then 1m in 4:50. Felt pretty good considering a rough week. Hopefully next Wednesday won't be a huge disaster. |

I always love this race. Stacked field, great weather, fast course. This year didn't disappoint. I caravanned up with Matt and his family. We got to the starting line at 5. Warmed up for 2.5 miles. I was feeling OK, but not great. I could tell my stomach was still upset but the legs felt good. It was humbling to line up with so many talented runners. I knew the race was going to get off crazy fast and my plan was to hold back quite a bit. I decided to not where a watch and just run by feel, so I don't have any splits. I stayed about 5 seconds behind Matt for the first 3 and then he slowly pulled away the rest of the race. The last 3 my stomach really flared up. Legs felt pretty good but I couldn't push through the stomach pain. I wish I would have worn my watch, knowing how slow I was going that last mile would have provided some needed motivation as there wasn't anyone around me. I was hoping for 31ish but it wasn't happening. I'm happy with the effort. It was great to see so many outstanding performances. Cooled down with Matt, Brandon, Fritz, Kevin and Colin.

| Matt and I braved the PRT alone today. 10 up, 10 down. Wanted to do some tempo miles but I wasn't sure how far I'd get. I made it 6. Splits: (5:24, 5:26, 5:27, 5:37, 5:28, 5:34). Felt OK but definitely felt the race in the legs. |

| Scott's loop but without Scott! Spencer tried to hop on one foot after loosing 1/2 of his heel to a blister in Saturday's race, he wisely went back early. Finished up with Matt and Toni. |

| Lehi track with Matt, Reed and Toni. 4 mile warm up. 3x1600m repeats w/800m jog: (4:59, 4:55. 4:53) . Matt and I ran together taking turns leading. I felt good. Matt looked great. Could have done more but didn't want to over do it. |
