88 Days To Glory

How does my Post Title strike you for being positive? I have been away from the blog and over 5,000 miles from home so I have a bit of catching up to do.

Thursday 7/26 After flying all night and 4 hours nap in my hotel room I walked down to this really fantastic park and ran for 50 minutes and 5.18 miles at a 9:39 pace.

Friday 7/27 Forced rest as I didn't have enough time in Rio to get a run in.

Saturday 7/28 a one hour run on the treadmill at the hotel in Sao Paulo. I was attempting to duplicate the Striders workout for that day. The TM was metric so I had to listen to my body to figure out my tempo pace. After looking at my downloaded workout I found that I came very close to the correct pace. 6.22miles/10K in 1:00:43 including 6 x 5 min tempos

Sunday 7/29 Jet Lag Induced day of rest! I was wasted more from flying all night as Brazil is only three time zones east of here.

Monday 7/30 LSD west on the Dry Creek trail to Wadsworth. 12.0 miles in 1:56 at a 9:42 pace. I felt really good except on the climb up Cotton Creek during mile 11.

Dad-
I don't know how your body can adjust to all those time zone changes. You must feel like you are in a fog sometimes.
Good job converting metric on the treadmill.
