Felt good to get out and run this morning.  I'm terribly jet lagged and not sleeping well, but hopefully that will change soon.  Did a 6 mile loop first 2.92 miles AP was 9:50 and the next 3.05 miles AP was 9:25.

Felt great to smell the Arizona desert.

Well, I know it's very hot there, but I suppose the dry air feels pretty good after Africa!

Nice pace this morning! I'm guessing you will be tapering this week to be fresh for your marathon. Enjoy those Arizona desert smells!

PS: I think you must be the most worldly traveled runner on this blog!
