Total of 18 miles today. 

Took James to the BYU track meet in the morning and did 1.3 miles of warm-up and cool-down with James. He ran the 1500 in 5:39. He was not really feeling that great today but still gave it what he had.

I then met with Sasha and headed out on the Provo River Trail. Sasha did his normal 10 mile tempo where as I just wanted an easy long run. Joined Sasha again after his tempo and added more miles. Ended up running 15.9 miles on the river at an average of 6:53 per mile. Felt ok and was starting to really feel the heat by the end. My car said it was 79'F at the end of the run.  

Ran .8 more miles with James as his warm-up and cool-down for an 800 meter race this afternoon. It was 86'F! James won his age group and was 2nd overall in the 800 with a 2:43. He was tired again and said he just couldn't get moving.

I only had about 65 miles planned this week but ended up with 81.75 miles this week (6 days) which is the most in a week for me since I started running again.

Great job on the mileage this week. I totally agree with you on the heat. It was really hot today! Keep up the great work!
