6.5 miles around the Promenade deck of the Ruby Princess cruise liner somewhere off the western coast of Vancouver Island.  2.5 laps around the ship was supposed to be 1 mile, but I just went off the distance calculated by the cadence on my watch.  Probably not very accurate.

Heels were hurting more than usually. Possibly because I ran in Altras.

8 x 800m (400m)

3:11 min average

I wanted to make sure I could do 8 reps so I targeted 3:12 instead of 3:05 like I normally target for 800s. My heels were tender going into this workout and they hurt after. Took some ibuprofen. I've really got to figure out how to manage these heels.

I decided to try for a half marathon sometime in October instead of a full marathon. I don't feel like I have enough time to really train for the longer distance and I'm worried my heels won't make it on the longer runs.

Had an enjoyable long run up Dimple Dell and then south on Wasatch Blvd. My heels hurt afterwards so I took some ibuprofen. They seem fine now.

I tried to do a Fartlek. 8 intervals at paces between 4:58 and 6:52. Each lasted between 6:51 and 0:36. Felt like a good workout and seemed interesting. I'll have to try it again.
