| Finally got over to the new place and got the internet up and running (no pun intended). Explored some new trails and ended up at the intersection of 580 and 680. | | Add Comment |

| There are a lot of trails around here! Its mostly loose gravel, but usually there is a path of more worn dirt so its not too bad actually. Its going to take a few weeks to get all the paths explored but I do know that Amador Valley has an awesome track less than a quarter mile away ... I feel some speed work on the horizon. | | Add Comment |

| More running in Phoenix. The rocky trails and heat are fine for ling miles but it would be really hard on your speed. | | Add Comment |

| Nice slow mileage and I found a way up Croak road from the new place. Nice flat run to start and then good hill up Croak. Then back home and I felt really pretty good. | | Add Comment |

| Over 100 degrees and it was tough going. First 40 minutes with Cara and then finished off on my own. Felt pretty good after a relatively high mileage week and I feel like the training is coming to a point where speed might be effective. | | Add Comment |

| Relaxed day. We had to go pick up packets for Bay to Breakers tomorrow and ran a few to keep the blood pumping. Should be a really fun race tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

| AM: Bay to breakers 12K. Anyone who lives in the Bay area and runs should try this race at least once. It was kind of hard to go for a fast time because even if you had a seeded bib you still had to compete with the thousands of people who jump in after the start and clog up the road. However, it was a blast and I highly recommend it! The costumes alone are really fun to watch and the course is pretty nice. The actual race was almost exactly as I planned. 6:30 first mile, 6:15 second, whatever happens to the top of Hayes hill (a short climb at 11%) and then sub-6 pace for the rest of the way. Also it was nice to run negative splits because there are always more people to pass. After a week of pretty high mileage for me, I felt really good about that especially because I felt AWESOME the last few miles. That tells me I need to start hitting the speed because the conditioning is finally there. PM: Ran eight more because I had the time and felt good. Nice slow pace just making sure to clear out the lactic acid from the morning. | | Add Comment |

| Slow loop around Pleasanton. I'm settling into a few favored routes now so perhaps its time to force myself to explore more. | | Add Comment |

| Perhaps my last run in Albuquerque ... sad but happy at the same time. The altitude is definitely noticeable coming from ~400 and running at ~5500 feet. | | Add Comment |

| Trying to make up for lost mileage and so I went for a nice long slow run. St. George is a pretty nice place to run, but the biking would be MUCH better. | | Add Comment |

| Found my way down to the Pleasanton Ridge trails and ran to the first crest. Fooled around a bit on the trails and by the time I got home I was really ragged! Now my whole body is completely spent and I'm going to spend the evening recovering. | | Add Comment |

| Foothill loop. My quad felt really really tight, but loosened up slightly near the end. Hopefully this is just some kind of residual soreness from being cramped in the car for 2 days. | | Add Comment |
