Gorgeous morning. It is starting to be the perfect time of year to run.

Tired today!  I spent six hours moving my classroom yesterday

I might actually get six days of running this week!  Plan for tomorrow:  12-13 if I don't get a Footloose callback.  7 if I do.  Auditioning is stressful.

Opted for a shorter run so I could get ready and go over callback materials for Footloose. I would sure love to do this show.

It's nice not to have to rush off to work first thing this morning.

Time to start adding some workouts in.  Why?  I don't know.  For fun, I guess. 20 minute warm up.  3 x 3-2-1 minutes with 2 minute recovery.  Cooldown home.  6:53 average.

Definitely a bit sore today.  Mornings sure are perfect right now.

Ugh.  It's getting very warm in the mornings!   Good week this week.  50 miles, a workout, and a 12 mile run.  I will probably try to stay around fifty for the rest of the month.  Maybe add a second workout and some strength work.  See if I can get in decent shape again.

Windy morning.  But, I missed the rain, so that's good.  Ran a little shorter and kept it easy.

Hit the track today for the first time in forever. I had no idea what paces to aim for.  I warmed up three miles and then ran 3x 800-400-400 with 400-200-200 recovery in between.  I conservatively wanted to run 3:10-90-90.

Set 1: 3:04, 85,87

Set 2: 3:01,85,84

Set 3: 2:57, 84, 83

Jogged home for cooldown.  The workout was faster than I anticipated.  My endurance is pretty good after a few weeks building base.  It would be nice to sharpen up again.  For what?  I don't know. I don't have any race plans.  But, it's nice to have some extra time to train.

Super easy pace today.  Ran from Cottonwood High to Wheeler Farm all along the canal road.  All soft surface running except for about a mile.  Felt good on my tired legs.

Oh, I have tired legs.  I did a conditioning class after running yesterday

Planned on going long today, but got back from rehearsal late last night.  Only got 5 hours of sleep.  I will have to get up pretty early tomorrow, but I don't have a late night tonight. Still working toward my 200 miles in June goal.

Should have run long yesterday.  Had to start before five to get a run in.  Plans changed and we are heading to Provo early this morning for state track.  Cons:  I missed hitting fifty this week.  Pros:  I have run six days a week for three weeks straight now.

I haven't run a double digit run in a couple of weeks.  So, I hit an easy 10 this morning.  I'm pacing Lily at a 5k Saturday, so I might have to get creative with a long run.

Darn. I broke my running streak.  My rehearsals are starting to run late every night.  I opted for extra rest yesterday.  I warmed up 20 minutes.  I ran 10 x 2 minutes on/off and jogged about a five minute cooldown.  6:51 average for nine miles.  Not too bad.

Three miles solo.  Three with Lily.  And a little extra

Covid finally caught me.  Been out of commission since Saturday.  Had to get out this morning.  Still didn't feel super great.  Pretty nauseated the entire run.  Felt good to get outside though.  Hopefully I will continue to improve from here.  Covid killed my 200 miles in June goal.  Try again in July.
