So that's what a tempo run feels like huh?  Decided to go out of my comfort zone today, I ran the first 6 miles just to the point where I was breathing harder than normal and I had to concentrate more than normal, at the turn around I stopped for a quick drink and stretch and then pushed myself as much as I could handle.  It was hot and humid again but I'm just going to have to come to the realization that my marathon pace is between 6:40 and 6:50. the sooner I come to grips with it the sooner I can start getting faster again.  If I can actually hold a 6:40 for 2 hours 55 minutes that's good enough for now.  Anyway, I tried to hold at 6:40ish some of the uphills I had to really push it to just stay below 7:00 but the downhills I was pushing 6:00 so it evened out.  At mile 11 I slowed down and took it easy the last mile back to the house.

There was a crop duster spraying mosquito repellent out Big Goose road this morning,  made it less buggy, but more chemically.  I'm kind of done with vacation and ready to get back home.

14 nice comfortable mile in perfect running conditions.  A huge thunder storm came through last night dropping the temperatures to a perfect 60 degrees.  Lots of Deer out this morning.  This is the kind of running I expected to have the entire vacation.

4 awful miles in Cowly Wyoming before heading home.  I was getting eaten alive by mosquitoes so I turned around and called it quits.

I've been really wanting to ride my bike lately watching the Tour so I made plans to meet my friend at work this morning for a ride.  We rode from the office out around the Zoo and back on Wasatch.  I saw Jake running up the Wasatch by the Zoo, I yelled "Hey Jake"  I could tell he was thinking "Oh great, another one of those doper cyclists,  Maybe if I just wave and smile he'll leave me alone" :)

Another bike ride up American Fork Canyon this morning.  I passed Scott Keate and Dan Varga on my way up, they were running up Timp Highway, I then passed them again 1/2 way up the Canyon on my way back down.  Those guys are animals.  

I then came back and played soccer with my wife and kids and some other neighborhood folks.  I really suck at soccer, I'll stick to running in a straight line.
