AM Long Run - Grandview loop +Sawmill (hill) and some add on back in the neighborhood to get 3 hours.  Super slow, and struggling badly with the heat.  Ate 3 gels and a handheld of water.  Felt mini-bonks 3 times.  Think it got up to 80 deg.  Sun ate me up when not in the cover and the trees around the lake.  3 hours - 20.81mi.  Long road of 100M training started this week - the formula to success:  lots of double long runs, and some stregth and conditioning addressing hip flexors and general leg strength to prepare for a long flat compacted agg. course.

AM - easy 10 miles - 90:25.  SR 11, People Trail (lots of bikes today), Goeller, Terrace Lake. Summer is here!  Memorial Day weather - sunny and 75 degrees.  Wonderful.  Legs feel pretty terrible (tired and sore), but, shuffled 9 minute pace consistently (Is that good? )

PM: Hoka demo at White River Run Shop in town at 6:15.  Pretty cool - ran 4 miles in some Hokas.  A bunch of cusion, but, those things are pretty expensive.

8am - Series 5k in Mill Race Park - hung with the guy who's been whooping me for about 2miles.  5:57, 5:49, 6:00 pace for partial (short course).  2nd Place and still struggling with 5k

9am - DINO Trail Race in Brown Co. State Park.  8.62 miles GPS, and about 1000' of elevation gain.  Pretty tough course, and I struggled.  Coming down one of the big decents I fell pretty hard and landed on shoulder, elbow, face.  Other than that, quite an enjoyable race in the woods.  8.62 miles in 1:07:24 for about 8th place.

Feeling tired and very sore.  Tough week.
