Day 154

• 5 miles
• 7:55/mile pace
• 0730
• From/To Home
• Pretty easy cruise run, somewhat surprised that I can cruise at sub 8 minute miles as I had serious doubts as recently as 1 month ago.  (Feel better than I did last night, now thinking my feared illness may have been mostly dehydration as I was too stressed at work yesterday to remember to drink anything at all -- will have to monitor though as I still have white things in the back of my mouth...I hate those things)

Day 153

• 1.7 miles
• 8:08/mile pace
• 1910
• From/To home
• Just an easy jog around the block, tired from the travel and work stress, whatever, hope to run a bit longer tomorrow morning, pending that I feel better.

Day 152

• 2.58 miles
• Cruise speed, whatever that is
• 2230
• From/To Home
• Was alone with Case until sitter arrived, then off to catch plane to LA, returned to PHX at 10, home by 10:30, quick run that may have been longer and or more inspired had I remembered to eat dinner.  ???

Day 151

• 4.03 miles
• 8:27/mile pace
• 1115
• Arrowhead CC
• Another treadmill run, this one short on time due to child care only being offered until noon.   Tried to really simulate some climbing today, so increased .5% incline every .25 of a mile, while maintaining the same speed throughout.   End result was a feeling of having done a pretty hard effort and believing I maximized my 30+ minutes -- treadmill gave me credit for climbing 910 feet, for whatever that's worth.

Day 150

• 5 miles
• 8:24/mile pace
• 0950
• Arrowhead CC
• Treadmill run with increasing incline as I continually felt the affects of the realization that a treadmill run is not exactly a run.   Anyway, decent effort, substituted speed for what I felt would require a power stride. 

Day 149

• 3.48 miles
• 7:20/mile pace
• 0510
• From/To Home
• Strange right hip tightness/discomfort that I'm blaming on the guy that bent my ear for the entire CLT/PHX flight last night as I felt I had to angle my body towards him or he would be insulted...nice guy though and may give the company I work for some business, but whatever, not worth it if the discomfort lasts more than just another few hours.   Felt pretty good running, didn't push, but wasn't totally lazy about it either, pace was good.   Becca and Finn are on their way to Mobile/New Orleans for her marathon on Sunday, which is very cool, but also means I have to figure out some way to get my runs in for the next three days....options are:   Treadmill at the club, pending that I show up when day care is available.   Ask Laura to hang with Case while I go for a run, ideally with Craig.   Ask Catie to watch her two girls and Case while Chad and I go for a run.   Convince Case that he wants to sit in the jogging stroller for a while.   Each may require bribery, but I'm in no way opposed to that.

Day 148

• 5 miles
• 7:44/mile
• 0630
• Miami, FL
• Treadmill run at Doral Intercontinental hotel, felt good actually, just cruised, but happy that a cruise could be sub 8 minute miles...well, except that I can never know if treadmills are calibrated correctly, but mentally it was good for me.
