Kinda fast miles early AM, ran harder than I should, need to stop running thru the miles so hard and let them flow. Ya know better but ya still like to hit them. Ying Yang Twins on the Ipod this am, good running tunes.

Usery Pass loop run - Good stuff, my favorite valley run. Got hot, but it always does. Run felt great with a little overheating and a little dehydration. Next time I bring a bigger water bottle.

Got the week off to a nice start with a smooth 7.5 on the canals, home to Val Vista and back. Neil Diamond on the Ipod.

More canal miles at 0540 am, a little warmer today, no cloud cover. First few miles were slow but finally got going, hit a hard one at mile 6. Hope to do 3 more of these distance this week prior to 5k on Saturday for a week total of 41. No pain anywhere, but a little tired from the new weekday distance, will try to flow tomorrow thru the whole run.

Great easy run on the canals, finally slowed down after my legs felt like they were beat up. I think I crossed a hurdle today in running more miles by finally being forced to let the mileage build up with easy miles instead of trying to push every run.

More Canal miles to Val Vista, my faithful canal friend. Felt like cutting it short but made it to the turn, and obviously had to run home. Good trick.

Little harder to get going this morning, but got it done. 8:30s seems to be my casual pace right now, which is cool. Tomorrow may be a day off, depending on a pinch in my left quad.

After a nice 3 day rest, back to the mileage, aiming for 42-45 this week. Today was a slow start but turned into a nice ramble. Ended up feeling pretty easy.

Canal miles, it is hot, got out at 5:35, was hot by finishing at 6:45. May need to get up earlier to get done earlier for the next month. Good news is the sunrise is getting later again.
