AM - Another hot morning.   I wasn't able to get out early due to helping get my Mom's house ready for the renters moving in today.  So, it was a bit warmer than I would have liked. Stopped for water a few times - nothing fast. My achilles is acting up a bit still and I'm getting pretty tired of it. 14.5 total.

AM - Tempo workout with the club.  50% humidity this morning - wasn't to excited about how everything was feeling during the warm-up.  I was planning on just easing into to see how everything was feeling. Aaron took off really fast the first mile and it helped pull me along even though he was way faster. Here's how the spilts worked out: 6:00, 6:00, 5:55, 5:55, 5:55, 5:53 - the last 2 miles were pretty tough on me.  I was soaking wet with sweat and felt like I was having to work way to hard to maintain.  Overall I was happy to pull off the 6 miles and get it done in the heat and humidity. Ran home the long way.  14 miles total.

 

PM - Went out this evening with Aaron - Mayor's Loop extended. Talked Aaron into a nice easy pace. By the end of the run my whole body was covered in small black bugs. Not too hot but, humid. 6 miles

AM - Up to the Dino park and back.  Really easy on the way up a bit more steady on the way back.  Still really humid. Temps weren't too bad.  I'm feeling pretty good considering the miles bump last week.  Planning on just playing it smart as I increase these miles.  I was surprised to wake up with my Achilles feeling the best it has in a while.  Hopefully I'm done messing with it.  15 miles.

 

PM - Went out this evening and did another 5 miles - legs felt pretty good.  Temps still a lot better than the evenings last week. 5 miles

AM - Running Club at the DSU Track.  1200x4-5.  Ended up getting there a little early to get some extra miles in before everyone arrived.  Ran a bit and chatted with Craig C. I planned to just cruise the intervals and not really push too hard.  Ended up averaging about 3:57 - 4:02, about 5:20 pace for all of them.  Cooled down a bit with Aaron and Derek then ran home. 16 total miles.

PM - Went out for 6 this pm with Aaron M. from the DC.  Nice easy steady pace. 6 miles.

PM - Went out this evening with Kendra and got in an easy 4 miles.  Came home from the store this evening and just crashed into a deep sleep - crazzy dreams and all. I haven't slept like that during the day for a while. I think I should take more 2 hr evening naps. 4 miles.

PM - Did it for the number. Wanted to hit 100 miles this week and got it done. Long day at Bryce Canyon Half, drove out to Boulder, then back to St. George.  After getting the kids settled went out and loosened up the legs a bit for a steady 4 miles with 6x100M strides.

AM -Track workout.  Woke up feeling like I wasn't doing too hot but managed to get myself going. Got to the track a little earlier to get a bit more of a warm-up than everyone else. I could tell I was a little off but didn't think it was going to matter.  Started the first 800m and felt really smooth but by the end I was feeling dizzy and really strange. Took a slow recovery and tried again - same but worse.  Tried one more time and decided to just shut it down and go home.  I just felt so fatigued and dizzy. Ended laying down and sleeping for 3 hours and couldn't get going the rest of the day. 

Kendra had been feeling sick the day before and decided I had some kind of bug.

3x800M - 2:29, 2:32, 2:34

AM - Tempo run with the club. Warm-up, 6 Mile Tempo at DC - 5:59, 5:59, 5:47, 5:46, 5:50, 5:40. Pretty happy with the tempo - however, I didn't run much yesterday so I'm sure that helped a bit. Just happy to get out and push a bit. Cool down run. 15 total.

AM - I was planning on going out to the Hurricane 4 mile trail run/race this morning but didn't end up getting to be early and was feeling wiped out from my tempo early in the day so I decided to just get up and do my 15 miler out and back to the Dino Park.  Took it pretty easy - hips are acting a little tight and robotic.  I think it's just left over from pushing a little yesterday.  Great morning - I'm loving these mild summer mornings. 15 miles.

AM - 20 miles from Tonaquint Park.  Ended up thowing in 2 x 2 mile intervals at about mile 13. 5:37 pace, 5:38 pace.  Hips were still pretty tight towards the end of the run - I don't think the intervals helped.  Really nice morning.

AM - Track workout with the running club 5x800M - 2:34, 2:31, 2:29, 2:31, 2:40 - On the 5th interval I was so fatigued.  I mostly felt it in my my arms, shoulder were tensing up and felt like my form just went to pot.  Like a bad dream. I've waiting for my body to catch up to bumping my miles up this month, but it still hasn't happened yet. Warm-up, Cooled down then came home and did another 3.5 - 14 miles.

PM - Was planning on meeting Aaron this evening but my Achillies was pretty jacked from speed this morning. Decided to play it cool and shut it down for the night.

AM - Club Tempo.  Arrived early and was able to get in 3'ish+ miles with Craig C before everyone else showed up. Not a very big group this morning. I think a lot of people are out of town or doing the Parowan Half this weekend.  I woke up in a bad mood so I really wasn't too excited about the tempo but was able to somehow get myself going.  Ended up cooling down with Aaron. Then came home and did another mile with Kendra. Here's how it went:  

5:51, 5:49, 5:41, 5:42, 5:48, 5:51, 5:56

5:59, 5:59, 5:47, 5:46, 5:50, 5:40 - Last week

5:41, 5:39, 5:35, 5:43, 5:28 - Last year same day

The good new with this year's training is my tempo's are longer - the bad news is my speed is down a bit. I think the main reason is my weight is up about 8-10 lbs.  If I can get that down in the next little while I think I will be doing well.

PM - Met-up with Aaron M. at the DC and did an easy 6 miles.  Luckly it was a little overcast and the temps dropped right before we started.
