Hit 10.0 incline on the treadmill at the gym. Trying to hit the hills really hard to get my legs used to big climbing. I was pretty impressed with the fact that I could run a little over 9 minute mile at such a high incline. Hopefully I can stay healthy enough to continue.

Jaunt around the concrete path encircling the townhomes. It was hot as hell but I got through in sub eight minute miles.

Today was a train wreck out on the dirt of South Mountain. I knew I would probably be a little tired from little sleep and also the fact that I had run 4.4 miles at 7:50 pace late the night before but little could of prepared me for how drained I became on my run back from the water towers at the park. I started with the intention of running 11 miles, what a joke that was, and ended up scratching and clawing my way to only 7.2, to the water tower and back, but it wasnt just that it was cut short I mean I was physically spent which just shows that I need to get into better shape both physically and mentally as well as bring my nutrition levels up immensely. I cant keep putting myself into positions that I know I can prevent. I know that it has been a long week this week but it is still no excuse for me not eating right, hydrating right and getting enough rest. I need to get my shit together, period.

Today was a somewhat surprisingly good day, running wise. I was able to PR my mile time with a 5:54 mile. I know, not very impressive considering right? I was mainly surprised because of how much I beat my prior PR(6:10) by and by the fact that I have been in a funk running wise ever since I had the hip and ankle problems these last few months. So in that aspect I was definitely caught off guard. Ill take it though. I got some insoles from RoadRunner Sports that are supposed to correct my ankle problem but as of this first run it did not correct it. I am thinking of returning them and just getting ankle supports for runners as a preventer, I think that will fix my problem. Moving on, hopefully it cools down a bit and I may run tonight also just to catch up, we'll see.

Legs are really starting to feel good. If I can only get my right ankle fixed I will be perfect.

This morning was a perfect day for hitting the trails so I suited up and headed out to the park. It was indeed ideal for running with many mountain bikers also carving up dirt. I ran into a head wind for what seemed like the majority of the run which was not my ideal conditions but overall I had a decent run that came in six minutes faster than my time I had set as a goal. A brisk wind kept it pretty cool throughout and the terrain heading up to the water tanks on the south side of the mountain was pretty soft as I got further out. Overall a good run.

So today I made the mistake of thinking that I could run 8 miles at South Mountain with only a 20oz bottle of Gatorade. I should probably be taken to an institution right? Correct. What was I thinking considering I had not run in the heat in quite some time let alone up the jagged trails of South Mountain. So throwing in the fact that it was 112 degrees is just an afterthought. So I made it just under five miles before I realized that not only was I completely out of water but I also was extremely dehydrated and tired, and there was no shelter from the 112 heat. I decided to head back to the truck and hit up the mountain another time which was a good thing considering I could barely run more than 2 minutes at a time on the trails coming back without stopping for a breather. It was brutal, and it is just another testament to the Arizona elements which are always in play.
