4.5 easy miles on the Dove Mountain Trail. What a pretty area! It's a new community on the West side, in the Totolina Mountains. Even Tiger Woods has a house there. The lowest cost lot sells for the upper 700s so it looks like we won't move in any time soon.

I have to spend some quality time with the dogs because they really miss Lauren. Chloe won't even play, she's been looking at the front door since Friday noon. Frank doesn't really care...

Short run before bed bacause I feel burned out and tired. My entire life revolves around running and races and I feel like there is time to pick up another sport... And it's getting so hot that you can't run after 6AM and before 8PM.

7.5 miles this morning and I felt great. I had to bad days but I feel better now. Tonight is my first aquathlon, I hope I can still swim:)

2.5 miles from the bank to our house. Almost 100 degrees but I felt okay and strong. I've found a really cool trail right next to our home as well.

Really easy 3ish miles with Lauren. XC race at Fort Lowell Park. I felt great, I ran the 2K in 7:02 and the 5K in 20:22. No too bad for an old guy.

10 miles on the Dove Mountain Trail. It was great and a ton of fun. 5 miles uphill and 5 miles downhill on a wide and well maintained dirt trail. It's really far from our house but it was a great morning. And I saw a javelina family crossing the trail. The pace was around 7 going out and 6:30 coming back.

9 miles of climbing from Tuba City to Tonalea. My calfs and shins are killing me from the uphill. 4.5 miles at night with the entire team from Monument Valley to KAyenta. It was slow and painful.

5 horrible miles. I think I have a stress-fracture because my shin really hurts. I had to walk for a mile, even Marty passed me:) Last day of running with the RFTF guys. Here are some pictures from the event: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/563949180kMcnQO
