Did 8 X half mile repeats (in the heat). Was starting to feel a bit tired by the end, but kept a good pace and stayed with Shayna every step of the way. This was a great workout.

Did two mile interval at noon with Shayna and Shawn. It was very warm with temps in the upper 80's and a breeze out of the south southwest. Heading out we averaged 7:35 to 7:40. I'm not sure what we did on the way back.

Ran the extended Highland Glen loop. The sun hit just as I was past the high school. There were lots of people fishing at the pond. On the the way back out I heard some guys behind me, so naturally I picked up the pace to stay ahead of them. That got me to push the pace for a while as they were all young (or younger) guys. Coming back along the creek trail I saw some wet footprints so I knew someone was ahead of me. I picked up the pace a bit and caught up with Stephen Buchanan and chatted with him for a bit.

The rain stopped around 7:30 so I decided to head out for a run up AF canyon. I wasn't intending to do more than five or six, but it was such a nice morning and I was feeling good so I just kept going. There were a number of other runners going up and coming down. As I got within a mile or so of the cave, it started raining lightly. It felt great and I didn't worry about it too much, but by the time I got to the visitor's center, it was coming down harder. I wasn't all that thirsty, but I still tried to find a drinking fountain that was working and a place to dry off my glasses so I could see. I then headed back down the canyon without any letup in the rain. The miles went by quickly, but I was soaked by the time I reached the golf course trail. There were a few people out for a walk in the rain. As I came down the park trail, I passed a woman and we chatted a little bit and then I slowed up to talk with her as I had seen her earlier in the canyon. She was just finishing up a 20 miler before Utah Valley, so we talked about that and the upcoming Ragnar for a few minutes.

Kind of a warmer morning, upper 50's or low 60's on the Highland Glen loop. Slept through the first couple of miles, but started to wake up when I encountered other runners. Saw one guy ahead of me with about two miles to go, so I started to pick up the pace to catch up with him. Had to turn when I was just on his heels, but I kept up the momentum the rest of the way home. Felt pretty good over all.

Early morning run. Highland Glen loop. Perfect temps (low 50's). Clear and no wind. Felt a little stiffness starting out, but felt great after a mile or so.

Early run. Highland Glen loop. I don't know the actual temperature was, but it was just about perfect. Slightly chilly starting out and then comfortable after a couple of miles. Pushed it a bit on the last half mile or so along the creek path.

Still have some congestion in my chest, but it was such a beautiful day and I was feeling so much better than I did earlier in the week that instead of the four miles that I had planned, I went six.

Took it easy as I wasn't feeling well. Throat was quite sore.
