Don't Sacrifice the Gift.

6.5, Foremaster- We were planning on taking it a bit slower today but someone decided they like to go fast. So it was a little faster than I would have liked to go but it still felt alright. 

AM: 3.5, DHS- Barefoot ultimate again. Supa fun but my team got owned.

PM: 8.5, AZ boarder- Met at DHHS and did a tempo run. My legs hurt so bad, I really need to ice, stretch and roll more.  New shoes were awesome though!

6, neighborhood-  Made a route as I went.  Not bad, probably one of the best runs in awhile, although I did happen to step in a pothole in the sidewalk and twisted my ankle.  That was the highlight of my run.  I probably looked great to anyone that saw me nearly land on my face but avoid falling by my amazing hopping and spinning acrobats.

AM: 3, DHS-  nice and easy, barefoot ult.

PM: 9, Trail-  18 x 60 sec. intervals.  Nick and I started at the college and ran to the trail as a warm up where we met with sean to do our workout.  Super hot outside. For about the first half I felt really heavy and tired with a minor side ache.  I had major RAD-G but I couldn't ever tell if it was real RAD-G or Murrey Trevor. Toward the last half I finally was starting to feel warmed up and ready to run fast.  Took an Ice Baath afterward, felt amazing!

Ran a mile with my mom in the evening.

I was a little worried about doing this Fun Run when I only got maybe 1/2 hour of sleep last night. But I wasn't as tired as I thought I would be.   Was only able to get around a mile warm up.  Kept it at around 5:20 pace for most of it.  The whole last half mile of the course is uphill so it has a terrible ending.  Did about a two mile cool down. 

Right after the race I went to practice at Sienna Hills park in Washington. Not many people could make it this morning so it was only Mike, Iel, Lucy, Coach Ross and I.  We ended up doing Dino Tracks, one of my favorites.  I felt pretty good today.  Not terribly sore or tired.  After the run my calves were pretty tight but I stretched and they feel better.
