AM: 13 miles on the river trail with Ian. Legs felt fairly good for yesterdays long run! felt like I am recovering really well. Probably a quick night run and some shakeout 200s tonight on the track.

 

PM: 5.1 miles around the college with 2 miles of the 5 on the track. Ran 8x200's was going to bump it to 10 but stomach feeling a little uneasy tonight. Did them to shakeout the 24 miler yesterday, ran them in 31-34s, pace is starting to feel more like a comfortable stride. Finished up on the straight with some drills. I miss doing drills and I think I need them atleast 3x weekly for let quickness. Going to try to start incorporating those into my shorter, second runs.

AM: 8 baby jogger miles around edmond with katie. Weather temps near perfect!

 

PM: 12 miles total. Miles at OC trails. Did 2.5 w/u with 6xmiles on a modified course around OC. First bit was nice gradual down, with flat around the pond, then last .3 miles uphill into a slight headwind. Made the finish of the miles tough, went: 5:02, 4:57, 4:58, 5:02, 5:02, 4:59. Was please with how my legs felt, and the turnovers. Overall a pretty tough workout, felt pretty beat towards the end. The uphill finish took a toll on all of us. Still solid effort and good clip.

Am: 8 miles total with Jax around the OC and neighborhood. Humid/muggy morning compared to the other nice mornings we have been having lately. Super sore from last nights workout. Ran a nice easy pace. 

PM: 8 miles after school after a long day on campus. Late night run, with an early morning run on deck. Feeling pretty good though.

PM: 15 miles total. Hefner workout with lots of wind 20-25mph. Hot weather as in 90 degrees. 8 mile tempo at 44:20 with 5:30 pace. Just wanted to pace marathon pace or close too. First four was crosswind and headwind, with next 3 was tailwind which felt more like 100 degrees and last mile in tailwind. 8 miles felt ok, but was pretty rough overall. tired from the day, but overall felt good.

Am: baby is sick, was up almost every hour last night. Convinced myself to get out the door for a quick/light miles before school. See how the rest of the day goes. Hope to get in another 8 tonight.

PM: 8.65 miles to round off to the HUNDO so tomorrow with the long run i should cap another 120 mile week. Then start tapering down for the MCM. Wichita half looks like it will be in the books next weekend.

PM: 20 mile progression run from the draper marina. Weather finally cooled down after a night time thunderstorm followed by a cold front came through. Split duties of running/watching matthew today since he has been sick and went at 1:30 with jason and scott smith. Ran the first 10 fairly conservative with a pretty solid NW wind around 15mph or so. First 10 was around I think 62-63 with first two miles around 7 min pace. Then at the turn around with 6-7 miles of tailwind scott and I picked up the pace. Most of the time just talking through the tailwind miles. Had a solid stretch of miles 12-16 being 5:33, 5:24, 5:15, 5:07, 5:24. Didnt really notice the super increase in speed till my watch beeped off and I decided to look down. Then the last 3-4 miles were turning back into the nasty head wind, really felt these miles. Finished the last 2 miles strong with a 5:33 and 5:32 straight wind and a little hill action. Last 10 had to be around 55mins or so. Nice having the push along. Good things to come. Took half a salty caramel GU and actually felt pretty good with it. Might end up working out for me in 3 weeks.
