AM - 15.5 Tempo Loop. So hot and humid. And I really didn't feel like being there. But did it anyway. Started off better than the last few times and tried to just hang in there. I never felt to bad, just a lack of confidence added in with the tremendous loss of water had the times just slip throughout the 7 miles of tempo. Hit a little more warming and cooling with the team.

Chelsi's Run 16:24

PM - 6 St. James. Got over to the race just a touch later than planned, but still bumped into the guys from the team that were running and did a 1 lap warm up (the course is two laps around a neighborhood). Although I actually really like this course (other than being short) and it is kind of fun to race later in the night (even though it makes it tough next morning), I really didn't feel like running. On the way over, I had to convince myself to not go home. Even while warming (interesting to say when it is 95 degrees), I wanted to just stop. Since there wasn't any competition, I decided to use it as an opportunity to run with some of my middle/lower Varsity-upper JV guys who were there and try and teach them to race a little better. So I didn't go out nearly as hard as in the past and went though the lap in 8:13. Then the guys had kind of fallen off, so I pushed a little more. Instead of fighting the crowds, I just stayed to the outside and didn't hit any tangents (which made for the extra .05, since the lap is 1.5). Ran decent and hit a 8:11 2nd lap even with kind of chilling in to the finish. Okay race for how I was feeling about running and life. I really wish they would treat this run more like a race and then maybe some competition would show and I could run a fast time. It was basically a 3 mile tempo - never left a comfort zone and didn't strain at all, which is bad because I need to start daring to go more, but good because I have been struggling so much lately on tempos.

Good push in crappy conditions.

Way to push through in the heat on Chelsi's Run!

Good grief your hammering it this week. Lots of miles and a double a.m-p.m tempo/race day- in the heat nonetheless.

Good job!
