Sunday Long Run Out the door at 5 AM. Perfect SoCal weather. Focused on a 90 steps/min cadence during the first two hours of a 3:15 run. Met my running buddy Ted at the end of the 2nd hour, changed running shoes and hit the trails for the last hour. No problems, all went well. Felt relaxed and strong. Plenty of hills in the mix. Only the slightest fasciia pain.

| Ran 8 miles at noon. Felt comfortable and relaxed. No soreness from yesterdays 18+ miles. Ran tempo just because I felt like it. Followed workout with core strength and stretching for about 30 mins. I feel like I'm recovering well from the long miles this weekend. I still consider sleep a critical component of my workouts. Running at a 90 steps/min turnover rate regardless of speed is working really well. |

Crosstraining
Intense 50 min endurance spin followed by a short abs workout then in the car for a 4 hour trip to the high desert. Hoped to run in the PM but decided to get into bed early instead. |

On the road at 5AM in the high desert. Warm temps and could field the altitude. No tightness or fatique from previous workouts. Good sign.
3 mile afternoon run upon return to San Diego. Had to do the superman trip changing in a public bathroom and taking a "birdbath" on return. Sometimes you have to be creative to get your miles.
Off diet today. Tomorrow is rest day. |

| Running rest Day today. Didn't get as much sleep as I wanted or needed last night, but that is life in the real world. I did an easy core strength and stretching workout. Looking forward to getting some miles this weekend. |

| Caught up on sleep last night but still wished I could have slept a little longer. Ran 2 1/4 mi warm up, 10K at pace and a 3 mile warm down. Temps got a little warm towhtards the end and I felt tired. Although tomorrows long run will be shorter than last week, I'm wondering if I'll be ready. MUST get in bed early again tonight. So much for watching the Olympics. |
