Lazy week, allergies seem to be killing me.  Never had this much of a problem before, the late wet spring did me in.

Got out early this morning, very windy from the south.  The wind is so dry it was sucking all the moisture out of my shirt, it was hardly wet from sweat today and my mouth was very dry.

Headed up to Island Park for the weekend for some fishing, atv riding, and laziness.

Run at altitude, 2000 ft. above Ogden, in Island Park.  Got off and did a little trail running, which was great running in the trees.

Back and hip have been sore the last couple of days so I decided not to push it.  A little cooler this morning felt pretty good.  Back and hip felt ok today probably a good idea to take a few days off.

Good run this morning, a little warm though.  It was 71 when I got home, it seems around 70 is my getting too hot area.  Great morning though, good tunes.  38 Special today, reminded me that we have tickets for the end of August in Wendover.  They put on a great show.

Good run again today, although I got a little tired with about 1 mile to go.  I think when it starts to get warmer and the sun is up higher in the sky that it affects me.  Anyway was only planning on 7.5 but I added on a loop through Rhomer Park.  My daughter is going through conditioning for Bonneville High soccer team at the park so I thought I'd run through to see how that was going.

Another warm one this morning temp was a little over 70.  I was ok, running into the wind, for the first half but the second half was tougher running with the wind.  My wind and legs felt ok I just feel like I'm overheating.  Pretty uneventful run otherwise, at least there were no dogs today.

Just a nice easy run in the heat this morning.  Washington Terrace loop again, just nice to be outside in the summer time.

No run this morning.  Went to the Paul McCartney concert last night and didn't get home until about 1:30am.  I don't remeber turning my alarm off at 5:00AM.

It was all worth it though, that was the Best concert I have ever been to, just great.  Paul sounded great, and how many times do you get to see a Beatle in SLC.

A cooler morning today, around 60 at the start.  That really felt great.  I got out about 30 minutes early to get in the longer run while it was cooler.  Started to get a little warmer with about 1 mile to go.  Great run this morning, only 1 dog today running out in the road barking not really a threat.

Easy run today, tried not to push it too hard.  Got out a little early again to try and beat the sun.  I made it until about 3.25 miles before the sun hit me coming over the mountain.  Had some great Rolling Stones songs for the run today, Start me up, Beast of Burden, and *itch.  I think Beast of Burden is probably my favorite Stones song, makes the run better.

Good run this morning, got out a little late due to some work problems so I had to cut it a little shorter.  Just trying to find the shade today.

Miserably hot this morning.  Pushing 80 to start before the sun came up, humid with a warm south wind.  Yuck!  Somehow found the motivation to get a run in.  The sunrise was pretty cool coming over the mountain with rays of light coming through some clouds.

Last mile was a killer with the sun beating down on me, glad I got out though.

Good run this morning, got out early because it felt hot today.  Got halfway through my run before the sun rose over the mountain so that helped.  Felt good to get out after being a little lazy last week.

A little cooler this morning but humid.  Overall felt good.  Just took it easy today, had a twinge in my right hamstring so I didn't push it.  I think the twinge started yesterday when I streched my step out to miss a manhole cover.  Ran the Washington Terrace loop with a detour around through Rhomer park to add .5

Here I go again, hot and humid this morning.  I got out a little early to try and get most of my run done before the sun came over the mountain.  I was able to get just over half way through, I didn't start feeling the heat from the sun until about 1.5 to go.  Good run today although my stomach was a little upset.   I think if I could run as fast as I was sweating today I'd be an elite runner I was soaked after today's run.

Got out early again to avoid the direct sunlight.  Warm and a little humid again, just that time of year.  Got about 4 miles before the sun hit me.  I was only going to go 7.5 but I added .5 through Rohmer park again.
