9 miles up and down a running path near Cortina, Italy.  Pretty incredible spot.

Quick run in Cortina before heading to the mountains and Merano. Sad to leave.

PM: hiking around Tre Cime di Lavaredo. This is what we were supposed to see but it was too cloudy. :( Instead of hiking around in the clouds we hung out at the Refugio on top of the mountain and watched crazy mountain bikers descend down the mountain with no visibility.

7 miles straight up the mountain in Merano (almost 3,000 ft) then back on the dirt road. The trails systems in Italy are absolutely unreal. They go FOREVER and there are roads and trams to the peaks of every mountain. I could get used to this place.

8 miles up and down a bike path near Merano. The bike paths are also amazing in this city.

PM: used the city bikes in Verona to zip around the city for a couple of hours. Lots is shopping and gelato in this town plus Juliet's balcony.

AM: 6.5 miles weaving through the streets and alleys and over bridges in Venice. I had no idea where I was going when I set out so it became mentally taxing trying to find a route to run that didn't end in a crowd or a dead end.

AM2: walked 5.5 miles around Venice. Lots of fancy shops, gelato, street vendors selling selfie sticks, rickety looking buildings, gondolas, water taxis and pizzerias at every corner.

10.5 miles (first 2 with Amiee) around Venice. I didn't get as creative with my route this time because I didn't want to get lost. I left my shoes in the trash can in the hotel. They are too stinky for my bag and they have over 1,000 miles on them.

Now off to the Marco Polo Aeroporto for a 16 hour trek back to SLC! I will find a way to do push ups on the plane.

Solid STG workout with the Utah Country Crew (Scott, Matt, Mike, Reed, Taylor, and Jon). We did the standard 10 up Provo/Southfork Canyons then 10 miles of tempo back to the soccer field with a 3 mile cool down.

All of us basically stayed in a pack to mile 8 then Taylor, Scott, and Mike pulled away a bit. Not many races have that many guys running at that pace for 10 miles. It's always woth the drive.

I am down in Phoenix for work for a few days so I met up with my long lost running pal JP for a workout on the ASU track. Workout was 3 x (1600/800/400). Mile splits were around 5:15, 800s@2:35 and 400s@72,72,71. Can't say it was a great workout but at least I got it done in the heat. I was a sweaty mess by the end.

21 miles up and down Emigration with Jon.  Perfect weather for running. We ran a few marathon pace miles on the way down and then kept it just under a 6 min pace. 6:28 average for the run.

Pipeline with Josh, Adam, Nate and Dan then 1.5 easy on the TM at the gym. Broke out the Altra Lone Peaks for the first time. They feel like bedroom slippers, not trail running shoes. We'll see how long they last.
