AM - Big Workout #13 9TM.  Still a bit flat today.  Warmed up in Dogtown and up to Zion's Bank, so I could make sure I was back in time for practice cutting the cool down if necessary.  This made it so that my Tinman miles were in a different location than usual in the Fields - started at bridge, so basically everything was moved up 2 'ish miles.  Lost focus a few times, had a hard time getting going, yelled at myself numerous times, had some good miles/sections, had to work pretty hard on tired legs.  A bit frustrating.  There are plenty of excuses, but these are important workouts and I would like to be nailing these workouts and today I bairly made it through (times were between on and 15 seconds slow).  I think next week very easy will good for my body and mind, but I need to hit this week.  Got to practice and decided to run with the boys since they were all sore and tired from Wasatch Back and would be going slow anyway.  Molly's mile at the end.  (Triumph 143.8)

afternoon - 8 City Wells.  A definite water bottle day; summer is now here.  (Cumulus white 715.85)

Man your hard on yourself. Thats why your a champion! Today on my run, my neighbor turned at 5.5 to head back. I was thinking, nothing wrong with an 11 mile day and avoid climbing Snow Canyon. I could hear you, your only cheating yourself. Just like on club runs, lol! Hey, thanks for keeping all of us going.

What are you training for now?

Those kind of workouts are hard with someone else yet almost too much alone. Wish I could come tag along for the ride. Good start to the week.

Your endurance is pretty much at an untouchable level. The only thing I'd maybe try is dropping my mileage to no more than a 100 per week and do some quicker stuff to get the legs to turn over. I think it's pretty much impossible to go fast with that kind of continuous mileage. Plus we are in summer and the heat doesn't help. But with Bryce coming up for you I'd try dropping the mileage a little each week leading up to it and your legs will come back.

Just my weak two cents.

Great day. Quality workouts can be tough on your own. That's a weakness for me. It'll just rile you up though. Maybe next time you should strap on the five fingers and show that workout who's boss.
