 | Walking 1:00:00 [0] | |

| walked around in Sabino Canyon looking for critters. Saw lots of rabbits, birds and two road runners. Walked extremely slow so not to be tired for the next day. Just to perfect of a day to stay indoors. Sat and rested a couple of times in the shade and drank plenty of water. Also went on the tram that took you around the park-it was full of old people. |
Friday Dec 8 |
| Running 32:00 [1]4.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran easy to stretch out my legs. Ran a couple of strides. Picked up my number for the race. There is a marathon and relay race starting at the same time. It has been windy for the last couple of days, but the forecast is for sun, no wind and mid 40's when the race starts. |
Wednesday Dec 6 |
| Running 50:00 [1] | |
| |
| Ran easy on the trails. In places that climbed a lot just walked these parts so not sure of the distance. Very pretty area watched the sun set and ran back. At times this area has big horn sheep, but no luck today. Plenty of big eared rabbits. |
Tuesday Dec 5 |
| Running 32:00 [1]4.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Just ran this morning to keep my legs loose. Not enough time for the jacuzzi in the AM will have to wait for the night. |
Monday Dec 4 |
| Running tempo 19:00 [4]3.0 mi (6:19 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran at marathon pace. Had the bus driver use the odometer to measure three miles plus used the marathon map also. Still not sure how accurate the distance is since the road was recently resurfaced so all of the mile markers are covered. Thought I was moving somewhat easy just did not know my speed until I finished. This was not a continous effort since I had to pause in two intersections for about 15 seconds before crossing. The road is very busy so only one lane will be for the runners and you will have to contend with traffic in the neighboring lanes. Only had to jump over one small snake in the road. |
| Running 27:00 [1]3.5 mi (7:43 / mi) | |
| |
| ran back easy. Had a slight amount of climb but the wind was pushing me along also. Had the wind to deal with on the way out at about 10mph hopefully this late in the race I can run behind someone. Plan to go to the jacuzzi again. Temps in the low 70's with full sun. |
Sunday Dec 3 |
| Running 1:35:00 [1]12.0 mi (7:54 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran on the latter part of the marathon course. It is a high speed road with a large shoulder. Somewhat windy plus the sun here is strong. Temps only in the low 70's seems like the whole USA is on the cold side. It is funny to listen to the locals talk about how "cold" it is today. Plan to go in the jacuzzi afterwards. Back feels unusually good even with all of the traveling yesterday and waiting around. My legs feel only OK hope they feel fresher by next week. Took a catnap since no way I could stay awake during the evening session. |
