We had an extremely busy day - hosting senior breakfast for the volleyball team, my two younger daughters both had games, my older daughter had a work out with a new club, dinner with friends and my son had 3 baseball games.  Somewhere in this mess I had to get my last big workout in.   The goal was 15 miles with 9 MP tempo miles.     I ended up on the treadmill at the Y between the two volleyball matches and had to move fast.   Three mile warm up with 4 min on at just under MP and then 1 min recovery, repeated for 9.25 miles.   This actually went by really fast and I felt good the entire time.  I would think I was tired every once in a while, and I had to tell myself I was bored, not tired.   I watched college football and for the second weekend in a row was subjected to watching OU play.  I am not a huge UT fan, but they were a disaster.   I had time to just get in 14 and had to rush to the next game....Next weekend is not any better.

Good girl getting those tempo miles in at a nice incline. It's almost time for you to taper so you can stay busy with all of the teenagers you have to keep up with.

I am getting excited for your marathon, hope you are too! Is it still 90 degrees and summer conditions in Fort Worth? Sure is in Del Rio.
