Trying to improve my running

Ran up artesiano and back home on wade.

Ran up to Romero Pass out of Catalina State park with John. It was a very steep trail and the last couple of miles were just hiking actually it was pretty tough even to run down. We did see a rattlesnake on the trail shortly after I told John I thought there aren't rattlesnakes up as high as we were. It wasn't acting very aggressive. We also ran out of water. John ran out with 2.5 miles to go and I ran out with 1 mile to go, Luckily it wasn't very hot. It was very humid though and we were soaking wet for almost the whole run.

Ran from the house out to beacon hill and up it then back home. I was trying to go a little bit fast but still never broke 8 minute miles. and after going up Beacon hill couldn't even break 8:30/mile.

Ran up Wasson Peak this morning. It was a nice morning to run it fairly cook at least for AZ. There was a nother runner out on the trail. I felt pretty good because I was able to pass him.

Did Wade road today. Wasn't feeling very good when I left and turned out there was a good reason. At the half way point had diarrhea barely got squatted behind a cactus off the side of the road before I exploded. Not a great experience need to start bringing TP of the runs.

Ran overnight around the hospital for about 4 miles. After getting home went with my wife ond kids for a couple miles and then continued on to get a total of 6 miles. It was super hot for the daytime run 90+ to start.

Ran with John this AM. Wanted to do 2 trips up Wasson. I felt really pretty good the first time up and down. The second time up it was getting hot still not too bad but I think I was wiped out from my overnight shift 2 days ago and from not eating too well the day before i bonked pretty hard and had to hike even the easier parts the second time up. If it hadn't been for John i wouldn't have made it as far as I did. I had to turn back just before getting to the top because I was going to be late to go to the temple with my wife.

We ended up seeing 4 snakes on the run only 1 was a rattler.

Ran up wade road in the AM.

First attempt at speedwork since my appendectomy. Nothing too spectacular just did 10 min tempo runs with 3 min AR. Was going for a pace of 8 min/mile and got pretty close. 7:50, 7:55 and 8:05 for the three tempo runs.

Ran up Kitt Peak. It was a great run I felt really good going up the back dirt road. It was steep in places but not too terrible. I decided to run back down the paved road and pick up the downhill pace to strengthen the downhill legs. I was a little surprised how fast it was going down. I was pretty sore after it was over i think the downhill legs really neede the speed workout.

Wade road.

Ran the loop around beacon hill. Didn't feel up to going up the hill.

Biked over to Beacon hill and then home. I only made one trip up in the middle.

Wanted to go up Wasson Peak, unfortunately the road is closed because of flooding. I ran up the road and a trail aways before going home to take the kids to school.

Wade road

Ran up Wrightson Peak with John. It was a good run we did the super trail up and down made it longer but it was much more runnable. I was able to run about 75% of the uphill.
