One more day

Oh yeah, August has 31 days. 5.5 mile Gilman loop today in 45:49; 156 miles for the month.

Weekend runs

Saturday am, 15.6 miles, 2:09:36
Sunday am, 6.8 miles, 59:24

It hit 95 degrees on Saturday, so I'm glad I got out early. I finished fast, with 2.6 miles at 6:22 pace.

Weather was back to normal this morning with fog and a cool breeze. It was a slog, but I was gratified to find that I hit 150 miles for August today

Aquatic Park run

Friday am, 5.6 mile loop through Aquatic Park; 45:24.

4 days, 3 runs

Sunday, 5.5 mile bagel run with Silas
Monday, 8.5 miles in the morning, 1:09
Wednesday, 6x800(400), 2:58-3:03-3:02-3:02-2:57-2:53-2:54, 7.6 miles total

Added another rep on the track and held a pretty steady pace. I also registered for the Cowtown half marathon; 5 weeks to go!

Two-track mind

Forgot to hit "post" on Saturday...

Friday, 8.6 total with 5x800 (400) in 2:44-2:51-3:01-3:00-2:58
Saturday, 12.7 in 1:42

I slept through Friday's tempo run and instead squoze in a trip to the track at lunchtime. I actually had a two mile recovery after the first rep since Edwards track closed early and I had to find my way to the Berkeley High track. First rep was way too fast, but the last three were on target.

Double Dip

Wednesday am, 4.8 miles in 38:38; pm, 8.5 miles in 1:09. Tomorrow's run isn't happening, so pushed Thursday's tempo to Friday and ran Friday's recovery tonight. Got that?

Neun achtundfünfzig!

DNR today; instead spent time looking for this and this. Yow!

Run to the Lake

6.8 miles, more or less, to a birthday party Lake Anza in 1:00. A scramble around the lake at the end, and 1000 feet of climbing. Got a ride home.

Ketchup

Friday 8/7: 4.5 mile errand run, untimed
DNRDNRDNRDNRDNRDNR
Friday 8/14: 5.7 tempo (2+ miles in 7:01-6:36)
Saturday 8/15: 15.5 miles, half with Blake and Michelle on the Strawberry Canyon trail. Another timing malfunction.

Getting a jump on things

8.4 miles this morning in 1:08. Stopped by the lab at 6:45 to get the fermenter started; grew 70 g of E. coli by 4:00. Yay!

Blankie Delivery Service

Mon, Tues - DNR (I think I sprained my wake-up muscle)
Weds - Planned a quick run at lunchtime, but forgot to bring Si's blankie to school with him this morning. 6.6 mile delivery in 47:57 instead.

Bagel Run

Really easy 4.6 mile bagel run with Silas in about 40 minutes. Stopped by the cow sculpture to eat a bagel together and watch the BART trains, but I told Silas after 10 minutes that I had to get moving again. Moving a little gingerly after yesterday's fall.

Seven Up, Seven Down

Thursday, 6.1 miles on a Milvia-Gilman-San Pablo loop in 50:05, makes 126 miles for July.

Saturday, 14 miles in ?? on the Strawberry Canyon Trail. I took a spill on the way up; Silas is impressed.
