Clyde's Comeback!

DC loop. Out early. Mik'L and I had to switch running times. Now I'll go before her the rest of the summer. Which means I need to be home by 6:30-7. Not too bad of a run for a Monday. However after not running since Thursday it took most of the run to find any kind of stride and I had a lot of junk in the system. 

Poured the other side of the driveway today. Temps said it hit 106 F at the Little Valley weather station one mile from my house. But aside from the heat the job went great. Steve Hatch (Shatch) is a super craftsman and managed the project like a pro. I'm very thankful for all his help. 

4 miles on the treadmill this evening. 

DC then Stone Cliff back up to River Road and home. 7:15 avg. I wore the gps today to see just how slow the pace was. I don't care but needed a visual to clarify. Not as slow as if feels like I'm going right now. I think I'm still a couple weeks out from really feeling like rolling again. 

More work today on the driveway. Cut the lines in the second side. Lots of landscape projects around the whole area. And spent some time working on the rubble and ditch project. That one will take a while but a little work a day will start to show some progress. Felt dehydrated and kind of sick just after noon. Came in and showered off me and Myler then we both had a solid hour nap. 

4.9 out and around Silkwood this afternoon. It was sunny and very hot. I hated it.

Boys run at my house. Did .7 with Logan (who I found a sleep in his truck) before Dave and Hoopy showed up. Then the regular DC loop at so so pace. Not fast but not super slow either. Then when I got home I took Ears around the park loop for 2.4 more. 

It was hot this morning and started out at 77 F at 5:30 a.m and just got warmer. I was pretty dehydrated at then end and in need of some salt. 

4.9 out around Silkwood again. 103 F when I went out... you can visualize just how awesome that must have been.

DC loop then around Stonecliff back to River Road and home for 13.3. Then I picked up Ears and did the 2.4 mile park loop. Felt so so most of the run but started to get hot by the end as the sun came up. Once I got Ears the pace really slowed as neither one of us wanted to push it. 

2.7 miles on the treadmill. It was 107 F outside and on the street I'm sure it was much hotter. I couldn't go out anyways because Mik'L had a meeting. So while Myler played I logged some super EZ miles in the garage. 

DC loop early. Only needed 10 this morning and had sooo much to do in the yard. So I got up early and pushed through it. Temps were hot and dry. I normally don't get cotton mouth but today I had it pretty bad. Stopped for a drink at the DC and slugged the rest of it out. 

Driveway project is basically all done. New drive is all done- colored, cut, cleaned and just needs to be sealed. All the rubble and mess from the old drive is just about done in my ditch project. I built some big retaining walls out of them and then back filled to add about 10 extra feet to that side of the lot. Another couple hours and it'll be done. I just couldn't lift one more chunk today and got cooked up by the heat. It's been a long long week for Superfly. I can't remember when I've worked so hard physically before accompanied by a 100 mile week of running... when it's 100+ outside. I'm taking the boat to the lake everyday next week if the wind dies down...

20 mile run down the STG course from around 17 miles up the course down to the finish then back up the last 3. Hit a 6:07 avg for the run. Didn't feel like hammering anything today but hit some faster times. Got out fast as Steve and Aaron pushed the pace from the second we got out of the vehicles. So no real warm up just right into it. Only really happy that the week is over and I got my 100 mile week in for June. Now I just hope my quads handle this (the first real downhill training) good and that I can run regular next week.
