I wasn't planning on running today since I am out of town with the family for Labor Day weekend and I figured it would be good to have an extra day of recovery from the 26 miles 4000+ ft climb then descent I did Friday morning.  We have been in Phoenix since Friday and we went to the BYU/UofA football game Saturday. We had a blast! 

Anyways this  morning my boys wanted to go to the resort gym and workout so I went with them.  I decided to stick with not running but instead set the TM to 15% incline and 4.0 mph and walked for 3 miles while they did their thing.  Let me tell you, walking at that incline for that long is tough but I figured it was pretty good training for climbing out of the Grand Canyon.

I felt tired this morning so I dialed it down a bit and did a slower shorter TM run than normal.  7 miles 8:30 pace, max HR 132.

Today was one of those really tough runs that felt hard from the start. It was way hot. I think I was dehydrated from the start. We started abou an hour and a half later than normal and I hadn't fueled well. It was just not a fun run. I don't remember the last time I bonked on a run that hard. Anyways I barely survived a 12 mile trail run. I was very happy Blake was with me to mentally help.

After such a tough run yesterday, I was planning on taking the day off today, but I awoke around 4:45 and felt like going for a run.  It was cooler and less humid this morning than yesterday and I decided to keep my run on the road today.  I ran up Cherry Tree which is a 5 mile run with a little more than an 800 foot climb, then turned around for 5 more miles back down to my house.  The first 5 took 49 minutes, the second 5 took 35 minutes. I felt much better today and am glad I got a run in.
