| Evening run with the local group. This workout fit better into my summer plans.
Met at the Lakefront to do hills. 3 sets of 4 x bridge with about 2:1 rests between reps, and about a mile between sets at 6:20-6:30. I'm guessing the bridge was ~300m. It rained today and knocked down the heat a little and made things bearable.
6:53 average for the run.

| Moderate run with 3 in 6:06, 6:03, 5:57. I tried for 4, but the first mile of the pickup I must have still been warming up and only came through in 6:24. The effort was equivalent to the last 3.
Added 4 strides.

| Flew into Spokane last night. Ran the Liberty Lake loop from my bro's house. It's a big climb that beats me up. Love it. Only 13 on the watch, but it's a 1:48:00 death loop.

| 12 easy. Took more time off than intended from being sick and traveling back to New Orleans. The heat/humidity was a brutal shock this morning after Washington, and I slogged through this one in 7:32 avg.

| 2 WU, 6 x 200m levee sprints, 2 miles steady, 6 x 200m levee sprints, steady cooldown. It was about 80F with 76F dew points this morning. The sprints felt great and I ran the steady miles in ~6:30 avg. 6:56 avg for the run.

| I wanted to cruise this one on the faster side of things, and maybe finish up with a few miles around marathon pace. I didn't feel great so it ended up being a middle-ish effort. 6:59 avg with the last 4 around 6:50.
Added weights in the PM.

| 2 sets of 6 x 200m at City Park. 200m jogs between reps, 600m jog between sets. Swampy conditions with 80F air temp and 76F dew point.
32.9, 33.2, 32.6, 32.3, 32.8, 33.0
32.5, 32.1, 32.2, 32.5, 32.8, 31.3
Avg = 32.5
Not an overly stressful workout, but I was pleased with how it went. I was expecting about a second slower per rep.

| City loop with some of the local guys. 7:07 avg, dropping to 6:35 avg for the final 4.6. It was outrageously swampy, even by New Orleans standards. I normally make it to mile 9 or 10 before my shoes go squishy, but I didn't even make 5.

| Skipped my morning run because I'm in the middle of a head cold. It will hurt the mileage this week, but I really needed the rest.
The local track club has a 4-part 2-mile race series alternating between road and XC courses. I missed the first one. Had a lot of fun with this one tonight. It was 89°F with a 77°F dew point coupled with poor footing and a poorly marked hilly course. Time is meaningless. I had low expectations due to the cold and general lack of sharpness from base building.
The usual suspects were there. The guy I respectfully refer to as "local hero" (LH) predictably took it out hard and I hung back with a small pack of HS students. Hit the 1/2 mile mark in 2:22 and was 5 or more seconds back of LH. After a bit I passed the guys in my pack and started working up to LH.
2 seconds back at the mile (4:56). The course was only marked by a painted line. White for the first mile, bronze for the second. Very poor choice of color for the second mile as it is the color of dead grass and was practically invisible. Literally invisible for my colorblind training partner. 2nd mile used the hills in the park (woohoo!) and I moved up to LH's shoulder. Around 1.5 miles we lost the bronze line and wandered around for a bit trying to find it. Resumed chasing LH. Tried to get around him but the course was too tight. Finally got by him before the final turn and opened up full throttle. I got a jump on the sprint and thought I had him. But he creeped past my right shoulder about 30m out and took the win.
Quick takes:
- Lots of fun in this low-key race. I was happy to hang with LH since he's in decent shape and I'm in base building mode, though he clearly has a gear that I can't quite match. Will have to try to gain control of the race for the next one before we hit the hills.
- I was really pleased with my kick. I lose a lot of places in the final kick, but this was one of my better sprints. It was nice to find my top gear and see what it could do.
- I never felt terribly uncomfortable. I thought a short race like this in the heat would be brutal, but I felt strong all the way. There's more in there. I think the increased strength from weight lifting is peeking through.

| AM - 12 recovery. 7:53 avg. Was hoping to push the pace a little this morning, but I felt terrible after the first 2 miles and only managed 8:00+ from there. Likely a dehydration issue from last night's race.
PM - 4 very easy. Likely 8:00 avg. Still not feeling good.

| Still wasn't feeling well and skipped the morning run. I was feeling good by evening and snuck out for a decent effort. 2 miles easy, 8 miles averaging ~6:00 (6:14, 6:01, 6:00, 6:07, 6:09, 5:51, 5:54, 5:46), + 5 x strides. Felt great. 6:24 avg for the run. 80F air, 77F dew point.
