AM - Club run. Ended up running up over the top of Webb hill - (Ben K, Ben F, Richard W). I saw Bill's car but couldn't find him.  We ended up getting in 6 miles - steady pace.  Came back and we extended with Kendra another 2 miles, then I ran home another 3. 11 miles total.

AM - Track work with the club this morning. 3-5 mile repeats.  My hip was really acting up so I had to shut it down again this week. That's two weeks in a row that I've had to cut the track workout short due to this hip.  I've been working it every night - I'm starting to get kinda bugged by it again. The repeats just felt like I was working like a horse - I just didn't feel good this morning. 5:19, 5:18, 5:19  - much slower than my last miles earlier in the year. Oh, well - last week I hit my 400's faster than I have all year. 8.5 miles

 Got home, changed my shoes and did a slow run to the store - the long way. It was a really nice morning. It's already cooling a bit, which is nice. 10 miles

AM - I've really been struggling to stay motivated the last while. I just keep having days that I'm really not motivated to get going. I really wanted to get up and run with the guys, but I just couldn't seem to get myself going. I ended up finally getting out of bed when Kendra was getting ready for her run at 5:30am.  I don't know what an extra half an hour did for me.

Anyways, went out and did a sleep-run with Kendra (The run wasn't too slow, I was just tired) for 6 miles. Came home did some work and ran to the store the long way for another 10 miles late morning. I finally started having a bit of a better attitude by about mile 8 on the way to the store. I have no idea what's going on in my head - It was like 90F+. Actually felt happy and feeling a bit more motivated. Weird.

PM - Came home from the store. Watched the SWAT team go into the house down the street. I guess somebody had escaped from the jail and his parents lived there. Went out with Isaac into the hills for another 3 miles.  Really nice night.

AM - Really happy with my tempo on my tempo loop this morning. I think it's the fastest ever on the river loop. 5 miles of tempo:

5:49, 5:38, 5:42, 5:43, 5:27    

It felt good to be able to keep it steady and push it at the end for a good finish.  

It always amazes me how different I feel from one day to the next.  Yesterday I would have never guessed I could have pulled this off.  I felt like staying in bed the whole day.

AM2 - Ran again around 9:30am from an appt I had to the store.  Just took it easy - a little tired from my tempo. 6 miles.

AM - 20+ miler from Coral Canyon to Bloomington.  Nice solid run with a great group.  It was fun chatting with everyone and shooting the bull.  Run with Dustin, James h., Justin S. who I hadn't run with for some time. Also, ran with Craig C., John B., Richard W. and Ben K.  It was fun having a good size group.  The temps were a little warm towards the end and I was happy to be done.
