my makeup may be flaking

Ran the "waterwheel" loop with Allie to begin with, then struck out on my own. I wanted to get in a good long run prior to Ragnar just to make sure my foot can handle it. Everything seems fine, again, but I'm still just waiting for the next thing to break.

First 4 miles in about 35:00 (8:45 pace). Last 12.6 at just under 7 min average.

AM Plan was to do a fartlek but I just felt awful. Ended up just doing 8.5 miles at 6:40 pace. Ran last mile in sub 6 to get myself going.

PM Much cooler in the evening (weirdly) and so I decided to do my campus tempo run.  5:57 avg, 5:40 adjusted.

May 2nd (6:54,5:57,5:34,6:02,3:06)

Today(6:54,5:58,5:34,5:53,3:03)

AM Waterwheel loop+detour to bathroom (hence extra .1). I felt really terrible to begin with but I wanted to get some faster miles in as a confidence booster prior to Ragnar.

First couple of miles were 8:30-9 flat pace and my legs were feeling awful. Seven miles in I saw that Allie and I were now running sub 8 pace and I was feeling OK. I dropped Allie on the big Climb up 3900S dropping my pace to about 7:30. Then I stopped to go to the bathroom (we started running about 5 minutes after I got out of bed) and Allie caught back up.

Anyway, after the bathroom stop, my legs started feeling much better and I averaged about 6:15 pace from there on out. I ended up completing the loop in 2:03:59 (7:15 pace).

10.6

Yay! Now I'm sick

Such as miserable run. Too soon to attempt a long run.

Triple!

AM FRAJKAJ run.  I actually felt decent today. The cooler weather definitely has helped.

I was curious to see if we can spell a word yet, so I used the internet anagram solve (I, rearrangement servant)

No matches yet, BUT James Richard Moore=Semi Major Hardcore or A Jihad Sorcerer Mom or His Radar Creme Mojo

AM 7 Miles, ran to meet allie during her long run then ran around campus when I got to school.

PM 8.1 Miles, tried to do a tempo run but my shin started to hurt at about the halfway point. I had to limp home for 4 miles

Up Sunnyside to research park along the shoreline trail to popperton park. Then along 11th avenue to city creek. Up to the waterstation and back.

The idea was to avoid my disaster from my last long run by sticking close to home and drinking fountains. I actually averaged 7:20 pace for the run but that doesn't really tell the story. I lost my hearing about 8 miles into the run and figured it was just altitude, but then I couldn't get my ears to pop. I started dousing myself with water at every opportunity but it wasn't much help. My breathing was pretty ragged for the last few miles and I was pretty sure I was suffering from heat stroke. I eventually had to start sitting down at the intersections while I waited for the lights to change, but I made it back and immediately took a cold shower.

I'm not too concerned about the outcome today, I think I just got severely dehydrated. 

AM KAJJA run 9 miles. We all seemed to be dragging this morning. I personally felt terrible and was definitely glad for the company.

PM 4 miles running home. 

AM 10 miles, 2700S loop with allie. My legs are way too tight at the moment, but it was actually nice weather this morning.

PM Shoreline trial 

AM 10 

PM 6.2 miles in 38:15 (6:10 pace)

Brutal 20-miler in 100 degree heat. Ran with Allie for about 15 miles and then ran 6:43,6:27,6:36,6:45,6:30 for the last 5 miles. Not bad considering the hot weather.
