I was doing a sweat test this morning. I had to weigh myself before and after the run and measure how much fluid i drank and wear this adhesive with gauze on it. I ran for 1 hour at a normal pace which put me at 7.71 miles. I drank 20 oz. of water. I lost 3.5 lbs. It was 84 degrees outside with 10% humidity. 40 minutes into the run I stopped and put the gauze into a sealed vial then finished the run. I am mailing the vial with all the other information to the sweat test company. There they are supposed to analyze the sweat concentration with the rest of the information and give me a hydration plan. Should be interesting.

I did Crossman Peak today like I have a handful of times over the last couple months. I run in uphill for right about 5 miles before I start the serious climb. A lot of people drive in and just do the steep part of the climb. I noticed on Strava I the is a segment that is the steep part of the climb which is 1.6 miles really steep and I was second on it so today I took it mice and easy running in the 5 miles and then pushed hard up the steep climb which has the Strava segment. I crushed the previous record by a few minutes so I now am the owner of the FKT up Crossman Peak. That is the first time I've let Strava influence one of my run. Oh well, I guess sometimes pride wins out. 
 

PM. 5 mile hike with Doone up in the mountains around 7000 feet.

8 miles up in the mountains on trails right after a serious thunderstorm. It was nice and cool so I was able to run faster than usual.

First run on my new Trueform TM. 
 

3 miles. Not easy. Obviously I have some form issues to work on. That's why I got it though. Hopefully I will fix my flaws with it and improve my running.

21 miles.  4800 feet elevation gain. Max elevation 12000 feet. 

I convinced Blake and Mitchell to run the Peaks Loop in Flagstaff with me. It was supposed to be a little over 18 miles but we missed a trail and made it just under 21 miles. Those extra miles we added were tough uphill miles. Everyone had to dig deep just to get out of there on their own 2 feet. Blake was battling a foot issue the whole day and Mitch was battling stomach issues the last 4 miles but both dug deep and got it done. I hope they  don't refuse to go with me on these running adventures in the future.
