| Morning run was all at easy, miles ranging from 8:42 - 9:19. I followed it up with yoga class, which I have been neglecting lately, because of summer and travel. Felt good to be back in class; I never work as hard on my own. My shoulder/arm was really sore during class, still is kind of. PM run was about the same length, with easy miles plus a few strides at the end. |

| Track workout this morning. I think sometimes that if I have to do one more 200m workout, I will just fall down and not do it! I am truly tired of 200m hills and flats. I want 800s, 1600s, anything but 200s! The hill ones were .54, .55, .53, .53, .53, .53. Flat ones were .43, .44, .45, .43.

| Easy miles, with long uphills in there, because I am doing a long uphill race, and I believe that it has been neglected in my training plan! Bike ride to rest the legs. Its MUCH cooler here today, only about 67 - BRRR! An adjustment after the little heat wave we just had. I did a yoga class again today! Back to two a week, and it feels really good. |

| Tempo run this morning. I am really tired today; I got 22 minutes at 7:50, kind of short and kind of slow. Spent most of the cool down focusing on form and thinking about food and sleep. |

| This was our group time trial day! About 20 of us showed up, because everyone loves a mile time trial. Warm up on the track, then dynamic stretching, then 200m strides. And, 3,2,1, we're off! I don't know why, but I love the mile. I recorded 200m auto laps on my garmin, so I could see just how fast I went out. Yep, I did. 200m splits are: .44, .44, .49 (slowing already), .52, .52, .53, .52, .50, and .32 (this one was not full 200m for some reason). So, I really have to ask myself: If I had accomplished the first two splits (one lap) at 1:35 as planned, could I have gone faster? Three miles moderately easy to cool down, and home for some coffee. |
