Pipeline with Fritz at 8:15 am. Pretty warm but pleasant on the trail. We didn't talk the entire way. I had to speed up to beat the 9 minute guy at the end. It was an easy enough pace that the run was very easy. I will try again to become more consistent.

Emigration out and back at 11:40 am. It was 75ish on the way out but heated up quickly to low 80s by the end. I went more moderate for my current fitness doing the uphill in sub 8 and the total run at a 7:34 average. Legs died a bit in the 7th mile. Feeling pretty ok.

We went to LA for a vacation and stayed with some old SF friends.They lived up in the hills and we ran to Runyon Canyon all the way down and back up (1.3 miles 640 ft down and then up). No celebrity sightings. 53:40 with 1000 ft of hills.

Didn't run for the last seven days of vacation but got back to it today. From the office down lower fed heights and 3rd ave and back up. 62 minutes. No hot water in the work shower felt good on my sunburn.

Another lunch run around 12:15. It was cooler in the mid 70s today. I did an emigration out and back and again had the desire to run sub 8:00 up the hill (not steep). This resulted in tired legs after five miles and a slow slog back up to the office. 54 minutes total. Another cold shower. I hear they are replacing the heater!

Another emigration out and back. My legs weren't as spry so I ran slower. The 40 second slower pace allowed my legs not to die during the run. 59 minutes total. Smokey.

Another lunch run at about 11:30. Temperature still nice in the 70s but the smoke. I drove down the hill and did a wasatch out and back. Legs were about like yesterday so I kept the pace nice and easy. 59 minutes again.

I went to The Gym today for one of my three hour workouts. I did 3x4 miles on the treadmill taking four minutes in between to do an adjustment. It worked really well and I was able to do a 5:40 mile from 10.75 to 11.75.

At 7am, I ran with Fritz, Nate and a new guy Andrew from Memory Grove up to the U down Sunnyside and back. Nice and cool and the guys weren't spry so that was good. Biggest mileage week this year.

At 11:45, I ran from work up emigration and back. It was warm in the mid 80s and I kept it nice and slow. 7mph on average.

Lunch run at around 12:15. Low 70s with light intermittent rain. I ran down through the U to check things out. There is always something I've never seen before with all the construction and the new law school looks great. I felt good today but still kept it to a slow pace to manage the higher mileage. 1:07:43 total time.

Early lunch run at 11 when the temperature was still low to mid 70s. I drove down to sunnyside and did an emigration out and back. 8:25 pace out and then two miles down at 6:02 and 6:00 (130 ft per mile) then finished out in about an hour. The faster miles caused my heart rate to accelerate a bit but they didn't feel that hard. Nice to bust some rust.

At 12:15 when the temp was low 80s, I did a BST out and back including Red Butte road. Felt pretty good with the (relatively) higher mileage the last two weeks but I did a shorter run in anticipation of bigger weekend runs.

I met Adam at 8am for a city creek trail run. We decided to enjoy it more and went north on BST for nearly a mile. Nice morning. About 89 minutes.

Did some warm up and cool down around HHS and Sugar House Park with Fritz for a '5k' put on by REI in various cities. It was only $15 and we thought REI might give decent stuff. The race started at 10 and it was warm and strangely humid. My phone said something like 46% humidity later. With two higher mileage weeks (50) and the 90 minute run yesterday, my legs had no pop. It is one of those days when I would have run 8:30-9 minute pace. 19:56 was my time consisting of one faster mile (6:19 with 44 ft down so not that fast) and then a slog in.

Fritz announcing it on Strava put one fast guy in and Albert Wint showed up hoping to win without trying so I was 4th and out of the tin cup podium.
