Ran the running leg of a team tri today. Lots of fun. I had the 15th best 10k time out of the 490 total participants. Felt pretty good and ran even splits. Not as fast as I was hoping, but still a PR for a 10k, because I havent ran many at this distance.

Not my best today. I really was hoping to win this race, and if that didnt happen to break 17. I could blame the intense heat and humidity, but I think I just didn't have it for some reason. I am still happy to have ran what i did given the adverse weather, but I just wish I could get off this mid-17 minute hump that I've been stuck on lately.

fartlek today. 5,4,3 on followed by 2 min off and a 3 minute set break. did two sets. It was scorching hot and humid out, just about sweated out all the water in me. Definitely shouldnt have slept in today. Anyways, the 4 miles of threshold is an estimate as during a fartlek I am not sure how much ground I covered during the on and off portions.

hot and humid continued today, 4 miles felt like 1000. Swam around 750 yards at work including 2 full 100s. So I am getting stronger in the water. Got my bike yesterday.

2 miles today. was going to run a race tomorrow, but decided against it. Too expensive and its not big enough. I was really looking for a big race and this one is just not gonna do it for me. Plus, im kind of worn out, so itd be a waste of money. Might just do a long easy run tomorrow night just to refresh the legs.

hard long run tonight. ran 11 miles in 1:16:41, which is just about 6:58 min.mile pace. I ran my 10th mile in around 6:20, so that was the threshold mile. i wanted to get a fast mile in late in the run and i did so. Overall, a good run and I was happy with the result and hopefully it will boost my training.

mile warmup with 5 mile tempo run. hit the first mile in 5:57, but the humidity just zapped me and i finished at 31:27, or 6:17 pace. Was shooting for 6:10-6:15, 6:20 was on the high end, but overall a good day with the high humidity and dew point. on the 2 mile cooldown, i did an 800 in 2:50, it was all i had left just to test my tired legs.

if there was a column for super easy miles thats what todays were. 4.5 at around 7:35 pace. really made a conscious effort to go around 8's but just couldnt slow down that much. Ill keep working because my legs do recover faster going slow i think.

fartlek today, so my mileage is an estimate. did 4,3,2,1 on's with 1 min off, and a 2 min set break, did 3 sets, then finished with a 5 min on 5 min off. Because of the short off's i think i got quite a bit of fast mileage in because i felt good and i was pushing it. First day in vermillion was a good one for running!

Nice long saturday morning run. 12 miles in 7:26 avg pace, so nice and comfortable. 1:29:14 total time. The weather was just gorgeous for this run. around 65 and breezy out of the north so almost a little cool. Definitely a tiring run as I have been feeling a sore throat coming on, but a good workout all the same.

no running today, but did do cross training on the bike. Road out across the missouri river into nebraska and back, pretty cool stuff, about 14-15 miles in total, didnt ride super hard, just nice and steady, felt good to work some kinks out of the legs, maybe making my first fall assault on a sub 1:20 13.1 miles in two weeks (sept. 12)

felt good with great weather this morning. Wrapping up the month with 6 in 43:22 or around 7:14 per mile. trying to get a fall race calendar hammered out. thinking 5k on Sept. 12, 15k on the 19th, and 5k on the 26th, followed by a capstone half mary in sioux city on the 17th of october. Then in november probably a thanksgiving race and living history farms.
