AM - 8 Twix/Sunrise. I should start trying to get up just a touch earlier and getting my morning to double digits. (Kinvara grey 111.5)

afternoon - 6.5 Fields. The struggle was real today with temps over 110. I actually felt fine, but hot. However a few of the kids hit some walls. Luckily, there were no major incidents. But it made for a long afternoon. Ended with 8xbarefoot striders. (Barefoot '15 60)(Peg 567.75)

AM - 12.5 Fields.  Seven mile tempo today.  I knew it wasn't going to be great because I was still a bit sore from the downhill on Saturday (as well as tired from it) and also a bit worn from yesterday afternoon's run on the sun.  Took Twix for just a couple and it was so slow.  Could tell as James and I got started that it wasn't going to be good.  First mile was over 6:00 (6:10 I think, as I write this days later).  Then started to scratch out something and dropped them to high 5:50's for the next four.  Mile 6 was tiring and I didn't really push the 2nd half and saw the time go back over 6:00, and then mile 7 was super weak.  Shouldn't even call it part of the tempo.  Drained.  Have got to get tougher mentally when the tiredness and weakness hits.  (Pace 44)

Nothing this afternoon as we were having the Desert Relays (a relay practice with the Hells; it was a lot of fun and the kids ran great).

AM - 10 Twix/Sunrise.  Still super hot out.  It shouldn't be over 80 at 5:30am.  (Kinvara silver 511.5)

afternoon - 4 Sandstone.  Ran over to the elementary and did some barefooting there.  The grass was quite accomodating.  (Ronin 529.5)(Barefoot '15 63.25)

AM - 8 Twix/Sunrise.  My morning runs have really pushed the limit on slowness lately.  Resting Heart Rate was pretty low this morning, though, and lower than the last couple days during the run.  I thought it would have been way high with all the heat and tiredness.  (Roning 415.25)

afternoon - 4.75 Sand Hills. Ran over to the Sand Hill to yell as the team worked out. Followed up by 20 mins of elliptical. (Kinvara blue 261)

RHR: 38

AM - 14.25 Parkway/Washington/Sunrise. Did a little workout today with 3x10 mins at MP. Twix was a trooper and did a pretty good job, but the pace was a little tough for her on the second one and by the third she was tired. Luckily we ran into Al and she took her the rest of her run. Times and effort were solid. Still a touch of fatigue by the end, but glad I did something a little harder today. (Peg Black 283.5)

afternoon - 4 Shoe Run. Pretty tired this afternoon. A think a lot of us are pretty worn down this current heat wave.

AM - 10 Parkway/BV. Same route as yesterday with just a few small changes. Took the dog with me and we just put in a decent run to get the miles in before heading up to the meet. Girls ran very well at the meet (especially for the end of a long HOT week), the boys had some positives and some struggles - looking for some consistency from them. (Peg31 577.75)

Long first full week of school. Pretty glad it is over.

Goals for next week: get a couple good runs in on the tempo and big Saturday.
