yesterday: 6.5 mile tempo run, first half in light rain. felt solid for the entirety.

catching a bit of the schiavone/dokic match at wimbledon before class.

6/17/11

early morning run. 8.5 miles, roads, relatively easy pace. thank god for the ability to get out there.

6/16/11

ran 4.3 miles (approx) on paved trail and grass around lake. a few hills thrown in. easy pace. and why not?

6/15/11

serious storms last night/early morning. still got workout in this morning on grass soccer fields and paved trail. 7:00 warmup, 4x 1:00 at 85-100% effort, 3x 1:30 at 70-80% effort. 7:00 cool down. went fairly well, cool temps and only slight mud and standing water in the low spots on the bike trail.

6/14/11

another livable, cool morning conducive to running. run we must. 5 miles on dirt trails and paved/road trail along the north side of lake and lower lake park. felt ok.

6/13/11

run 5.5 miles trails and grass around lake. nice easy run.

mavs win! diiiiiiiiiiirk!

6/12/11

beautiful morning for a run. some days are blessed. run 10 miles in low humidity. felt good.

6/10/11

today: run 5.5 miles. 62 degrees, lower humidity. felt average, got it done.

last night: mavs beat heat, i promise have been a huge dirk fan prior to this series! have the shirt to prove it.

fire draw sporting kc nil-nil. did not look offensively at all. narrowly missed a goal off the top of the post, but honestly didn't deserve the win.

6/8/11

a.m. steambath. 5 miles or so w/ 9 1:00 sprints, 2:00 recovery between each interval. done on grass soccer field and a couple on paved trail. solid workout.

6/6/2011

this morning: 5 miles. first 5k was a tempo run on a measured course through town. tired legs, managed a 24:12 3.1 mile and two mile "cooldown." dog butt tired afterward.

6/5/11

5:30 a.m. run 4 miles plus on roads. held up ok. storms looming on western horizon.

6/4/11

today: run 7 on roads, wanted 10. used new ultimate direction handheld bottle. wasn't enough. just didn't have it today, way hot, legs betrayed mind, tough run.

watched germany take a 2-1 win over austria. really a sloppy game from die mannschaft, only a gomez goal in the 90th minute salvaged the win. didn't need, handily controlling their euro qualifying division, but still could have shown more sharpness. schweisteiger and klose out didn't help.

usa trails right now in the 40th minute 3-0. it is spain, so no shame.

li na v. schiavone started badly, second set was entertaining tennis, na wins it.

i'll take rafa over federer tomorrow in four sets. paris belongs to nadal.

6/3/2011

yesterday: walk a bunch in heat, up and down stairs, etc. getting too old for coasters?

today: run 4.5 miles around lake. when is that first frost again?

john wesley harding, anyone?
