4th of July
Yesterday was the 4th of July, so I wasn't able to run sadly. The good news though was I had a great time with my family and we had some good food! And somehow my family managed to grow some pretty big and juicy watermelons!

Today's Training
So I took a day off from running, which turned out to be needed after running 4 strait days ending with a 5 miler. Today I was able to get out and run again though, so I did a two mile speed training run. By speed training I mean I just increased my speed from start to finish, which I seem to like to do. I was sprinting the last 800m which felt horrible while doing it, but excellent once I finished to see that I had a really great 2 mile time! (13:49) It was a cool 85 outside as well so that probably helped a little as well.
In Other News
I am going to start looking for trails to run around here as well. I have a feeling there wont be many, but it would be a nice change of pace to run a trail rather than always a road. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE running on the road, but someday I want to run an ultra(and by someday I mean like 5 years from now) and most of them take place on trails.
I am also looking into running a 4 miler next Saturday, the only problem is I am scheduled to run an 8 mile long run, so should I do it and run two separate 4 miles, or is there a better way to do that? I would like to get another race under my belt, and it benefits the local fire department so I am sure the T-Shirt will be cool!
