10.0-- Finally made it out for a run at 9:30pm.  I ran my "dark" route down mainstreet and up into fiddlers canyon.  It was a nice run.  body felt good and rested. Took me 1:09:22.  Effort was for the most part easy except i pushed it up fiddlers canyon road and then back down Nichols canyon road.  I like this route, it gives me a good mile of sustained climbing followed by about a mile of down hill. it is good practice.

 Saw Greg Harris out running early this morning.

8.5 before supper. Towards end of run the run started to have some heart burn issues again. not sure what it is but it didn't bother me last night at all.  might have to quit eating doritos or something like that.

3 this morning with the dog.  Legs feel pretty thrashed but they really shouldn't.  today was supposed to be a tempo/speed day but it may not happen.

8.5 total. Went to the track for a 10X800m workout.  I almost talked myself out of doing it.  Yesterday my left hammy was a little sore and i couldn't figure out why because i only ran 3 easy miles yesterday and the hammy hurt later in the day.  I had to give myself a pep talk and then after a 1.5 mile warmup i started the 800's goal was 2:40 and to start an 800m every 5 minutes.  

well the work out went great and no problems with the hammy.  times were as follows:

 2:40, 2:37, 2:38, 2:39, 2:39, 2:39, 2:41, 2:40, 2:40, 2:36

 The first lap of the final 800m felt really herky jerky but i was get my form back and ran a pretty strong.  overall this is probably the one of the best 800m workouts ever for me.

5.5 miles with the dog.

18.1 down in Las Vegas.  Ran on a walking path from henderson area out to the lake las vegas area.  ran 1 mile towards the end in 5:35.  Overall i just kept the pace nice and slow. 8:40 ave pace.
