PM: 18 miles easy
After surfing in the morning, I went out in the heat of the day for my long run around the back bay in Newport Beach. I came back with dry mouth and sunburn for my efforts in the first run where I've really felt the heat here in California.

Following an easy morning run on the creek path, I had to bag my race in San Francisco this weekend because Wilson got pretty sick. I'm going to shoot for a 15k trail race in San Diego in two weeks instead.

I ran this workout on the creek trail, using the Garmin to take splits. I'd say I felt good enough, trying to hit half-marathon pace on the long reps and 5k pace on the short reps.
Splits: 10:48, 2:30, 10:49, 2:28

AM: 15 miles moderate
I ventured out again for an out-and-back on the creek trail for my long run this morning. Obviously, I haven't really grown tired of this run yet. There's all of one stoplight with constantly changing scenery, so it's difficult to get too boring or monotonous.
This morning was one of the best runs of the summer: my legs felt fantastic. I floated the last 6.5 miles in 40 minutes without trying to pick up the pace at all or really pushing too much. I hope I can carry these loose legs and positive feelings into the half marathon in San Francisco next weekend.
