Ran 3.5 miles with the some of the team and then a couple hours later stopped in Ahwatukee and ran 6.5 miles at 6:45 pace average. It was windy out but still a nice run due to the cooler weather.

5 miles up and the did a fartlek that progressed faster each time frame. Did 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min and then back down. I figure I started at under 5:30 pace and went under 5 at the end. Then did a mile down.

Met up with my buddy Trevino and helped pace him for his last major workout before Boston. His goal is to run sub 2:30 so the plan was 15 miles at 5:43 pace. The plan was I was going to run mile 6-12 with him while Kevin K would do the first 1-6. When it was my turn to pace him our splits were 5:40, 5:36, 5:42, 5:29 (This mile I stopped to fix my shoe and hustled up to catch back up.5:37, 5:45. Josh averaged 5:42 for the entire 15 so it was a good workout for him.

 I stayed over at the in-laws last night which was nice to get up at a reasonable morning time and still be able to get in 8 miles at 6:42 pace and then drive to work which was a nice 10 minute drive. Did a fun loop that went down 55th street to McDowell to the Red Mountain 202 and down to Higley and back to the house. I also did some 4x15 second accelerations at the end for some leg turnover.

Met up with a couple buddies and did a 4 mile up and then 2x2mile with 3 min jog in between. It was really hot out and my mouth was dry from the start. Our goal was just to run 5:30-35 pace we were out a little fast so eased back and were 5:34 and 5:38 for the first 2 miles. The next set we were out fast again and hit the mile at 5:22 and came back with a 5:27 for the second run. Overall pleased with the effort but didn't feel the best.

Ran from the high school, warm up of 3 miles then did 16x30 seconds with 1 min recovery at around sub 4:40 pace, just based it off of feel and focused on being quick on turnover and pumping my arms.

Got a late start so suffered  little towards the end.  Avg 7:01 pace for the run and a good mixture of trails and roads.

Ran 2 miles at practice then drove to Kiwanis Park, I was lucky to bump into Sara Slattery, so we ran about 6 miles together which was nice to catch up and talk about life. She was an alternate for the 2008 Olympic team in the 5000 meters and her husband Steve was a great Steepler as well. After that I ran additional 1.5.

2.5 up and 1.5 down. Then did a LT workout at 5:24 average. A little windy out, but did 3x1.5miles with 3 min active recovery in between. The first one felt a little off but then warmed up nicely for the last two 1.5 LT's. Overall, glad how this went!

Nice weather this morning, was a little nervous about this run because I have been feeling my achilles tendon. Been icing, stretching and rolling the past day. Surprisngly I did 15 miles today for my planned long run. Started at 7:30 and gradually progressed faster each mile. Avg: 6:50 for the run today and felt good aerobically....
