| | Today did the Bubble Run in Austin as a workout. It was supposed to be a 5K, but was likely .05 or so short. I got 15:24. The run was not timed - hence it does not qualify as a race. Noah ran it as well and got 16:04. The course was hilly - more so than the soccer loop I normally train on. Part of the course goes on a Formula-1 track, which was cool.

| | Today did 12x400. The course was slightly inclined, and there was wind. Consequently, one direction was about 4 seconds faster than the other. Got 73, 67, 71, 64, 67, 63, 67, 63, 67, 63, 68, 60. Felt pretty tired afterwards and when doing my second run in the evening.

| | Did a 10K workout again - this time I had serious spasm troubles after the first two laps. Ended up with 35:05 (17:01 and 18:04).

| | Tried to do a 10K workout today - did a 5K in 17:01 at which point the heat and humidity had significantly slowed me down. Stopped the workout there and fnished Noah's workout with him - he was doing 1K repeats. I did 3.5 of them with him at about 5:10 pace.

| | Today was less hot and humid, so I decided to try the 10K workout again. The first 5K was better - 16:32, but then I fell apart on the next lap and was barely doing sub-6. Ended up cutting it short after 3 laps (4.5K).

| | Was tired from the two 10K attempts this week and so just did a 5.5 mile tempo at 5:50ish pace with Noah.
