| Missed long mileage day due to travel away from home. Just too tired and unmotivated from activities. I will chock it up to the body needing rest. I did manage a short period of exercise in the hotel fitness room. |

| I was able to double up on my workouts today. A good quality tempo run at lunch for 8.5 miles and another short relaxing run before dinner. I will try to chock up days like this to make up for lost mileage and comply with Sasha's recommendation of a minimum 8 mile workout. To the track tomorrow. |

Heartbreak Ridge Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:45:02 | | Running Miles | Swimming Yards | Bike Miles | | 19.50 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Ran Heartbreak Ridge Half Marathon, Camp Pendleton, CA as a time trial gauge of conditioning for upcoming marathons. The course was familiar from past runs, but very challenging due to dirt track and moderate hills. Fortunately, sky was overcast which kept heat from being a factor. Felt strong but a near maximum effort. PR for this race which I ran in 2004 and 2005. The race validates the value of Tues track workouts. Did additional miles before and after the race. Used Sportsquest products.
