AM - 21 Wendy's/track/Parkway. Ran over to practice by way of Wendy's and got there just in time ( after stretching the sleeping as long as possible). Then ran on the track while some of the team did mile repeats - sandwiched by Pizza warm/cool. Finished up by running home via the Pakway. Just a lot of easy , slow miles. (Oregon 444.25)

AM - 13 Tempo Loop.  We started off a little slower today (6:20 for 1 and 2), but I seemed to be working a little harder and I wondered how much I was going to get out of the workout.  Then things started to pick up a bit and the workout turned out pretty solid.  The 3rd worked down to 6:00 and then the next 5 at 5:45-5:35 ending with a 5:20.  So in the end I felt good about adding another mile to the tempo and getting a solid pace on a day that I felt very flat.  And I never felt that I was really pushing crazy hard, just rolling and getting in good miles.  Two things learned from today: Clyde will be good for the marathon (no matter what he says!) and Logan should still get in the race and just go do his thing (the guy is always a monster).  (Hyper Speed 252.25)

afternoon - 4 Bloomington Hills. Not sure of a distance, but I ran around setting up and taking down the course. We did a lot of work for a meet that wasn't even ours. (Zero 49)

AM - 10 Mall/AC/DI. Would have liked to run more if I would have had time. Not that I felt good at all, it was just a nice morning to be out running. (Free 684.45)

afternoon - 6 Mall. Felt a bit worn down at the end of the day today, but it was nice to run with the boys even though it wasn't a good run. Ended with 8xbarefoot striders. Wish I didn't have to recover from workouts (like the old days) and could just feel good all the time. (Barefoot '12 84)(Connect 275.75)

AM - 10 Mall/AC/DI.  Switched the direction of the Mall so I don't go insane.  Felt pretty good for 8 miles.  The last couple were a little iffy.  (F50 317)

afternoon - 5 Shoe. The usual pre-race run out in the heat. The pond was super nice. (Ohana 650)

AM - 11.5 Junction. Ran from home since we are headed up to the Murray XC Invite and I needed to go get a suburban. The run was pretty nice even though the temps still aren't really cooling off at all. (Hyper Speed 2 208)

Noon - 21 SGM Course. Got home way late from the race last night, so I had only been asleep barely 2 hours when the alarm went off to go meet Steve to run down the course. There was no way I was going to be able to make it, so I just reset the alarm and fell back asleep. Then when the alarm went off again, I was still way out of it. So I just slept more and whatevered the run. I finally woke up and ate and chilled until Al got home from her run and I decided that I ought to go out. So I drove up the course a bit and dropped some drinks and then started back at the finish and ran up 10 and back. It was super hot and I didn't plant enough drinks, so I was happy for all the litterers who don't go up and pick up their drinks - I stole about 5 of them and dumped them on me at various times (I figured no one else was using the drink since I was the only idiot out there on the course at 2 in the afternoon in the 95+ heat). I originally planned on a progression tempo with 4, 3, 2, and 1 miles with an easier mile between each. But with the up and back I had to do the first four on the way up from miles 6-10. So I kind of put time aside and just tried to push it pretty hard. The sets on the way down were good and it ended up being a good workout. I mixed my gu into some waters and it seemed to sit a lot better. (Kinvara3 80.5)

Not a bad end to the week, especially since I didn't feel like running at all.

Goals for next week: pretty much more of the same. And keep a good attitude while doing it.
