Last month I was running every day to trim down for my vacation. Now that's over I'll only be running every 3rd day. I think all that cardio was sapping my strength in the weight room.

Ouch dude. Hopefully you have more energy today. I know the feeling as I fell asleep while stretching last night after running and I woke up with a rumbling stomach. Then it occurred to me that I hadn't eaten dinner yet.

Slept well last night and I think I'm ok again.

Easy 5 miles last night.

6580

Edit: Yesterday I registered for another race. I'm running the Delta Half Marathon on August 9. (Brutal website, I know, but it's a good race. Maybe someone here should re-do the site for them.)

The course is completely flat, so I should be able to rip a really fast time.

4 miles this am + 7 miles this pm - 6591

 

[Capt Caveman]

Easy 3.5 with the new dog.

06/16: 5x400m + 1x400m warm-up = 1.5 miles
06/22: 3x400m + 1x400m warm-up = 1.0 mile
06/30: 3x400m + 1x400m warm-up = 1.0 mile
07/07: 2x1600m + 1x800m warm-up = 2.5 miles
Total = 6.0 miles

I had to run some errands after work so my running time was short, but we did manage to do 10 miles pretty fast. I love seeing my speed improve.

I never realized how addicting running could be.

It is isn't it? I like how I'm always in a good mood after a run. I don't like how I get cranky if I miss a run.

:camera: of your new dog?

That reminds me...last night I ran hill repeats on a nearby trail, and there was a guy out walking his three dogs. As I came down the hill after my first rep, I said hi and let him know I would be coming back up the hill a few more times (so as not to surprise him or his dogs).

On the second rep, I saw the smallest of the three dogs wandering further down the trail, but the dog turned around and started up the hill when I passed it. I saw the guy further up and he asked if I had seen his small dog. I said that the dog was heading up the hill when I saw it.

I came down after the second rep and the guy was calling out for his dog. I didn't see it but I told him I would let him know if I did. As I approached the bottom of the hill, I saw the dog sitting patiently next to the guy's van, across the street.

I charged back up the hill on my third repeat and as I approached the guy, I told him his dog was sitting next to his van. He thanked me and rushed back down the trail to his van.

As I came back down the hill, the guy waved to me and thanked me for helping him find his dog. I told him he was welcome and wished him a good night. Despite the cold rain and my legs feeling like dump, it warmed my heart to see the man and his dogs reunited, and I had a bit of extra jump on that final rep.

The funny thing is, I got home and realized I actually should have done a tempo run, not hill repeats. I misread the training schedule haha. But because of that mistake, I helped a stranger find his dog. Strange, eh?

Here you go

And nice job! When I lived in CA, I once saw a dog run away from the beach. I ran after it for several miles and was able to finally able to tackle him while hiding behind a car. Luckily, he had tags and I was able to call and get the dog owner to come and pick us up.

Beautiful dog you have there! And yes, it's always a great feeling to see an owner reunited with their pet.

They were horrible the other night on the CVTs. I looked over at Adam and there were dozens of the bastards flying around him. I can only assume that there was a similar swarm of them around my head, too. I beat a dozen of them off of his back before it was all said and done.

How long do these monsters last for?

Damn, I keep reading about you guys battling the deerflies - sounds rough. Is it effective to use DEET or do you just swat them away as you encounter them?

Forgot to update my runs yesterday:

AM - 4 miles
PM - 3 miles race pace, warmup, cooldown (6 miles total)
