awoke at 5 am to go for my long run, lighting was flashing everywhere so I went back to bed for a bit and let it pass over. Finally got out at 6:30 and it was nice, a bit muggy after the rain but not bad. met my brother Clay at the base of Harrys Hill and tried to run with him for a bit. My legs could not keep up, by the time I made my way back up power house road another round of rain and lighting from there home, needless to say I was soaked.

My last long run today before SGM, foe some reason this training cycle has been difficult to keep up with. I don't feel as though I'm prepared I should be, my longs runs which is my favorite during the week was difficult. each one seemed like a pain and just hard to get in a good frame of mind. I will go and do my best in two weeks.
