6AM - TM at gym - 6x3:30 @ 10.4mph.  This is about goal 10k pace - give me a sub 36:00.  These were manageable, but, lots of sweat flying TM running is not gonna besame as the race in tis heat/humidity outdoors in 2 weeks.  Still - a good confidence builder.

8pm - Track Tues. - Part 2 of "double" - not sure effective these are as doubles since they are 12 hours apart anyway.  These had 2min. jogs btwn.

AM Relay for Life - Good cause to raise money for cancer at the Brown County High School track in Nashville, IN.  Start the day with a WU and 5k TT.  This was a failure.  It was pretty humid, but, not as hot as it has been.  Really no excuses this morning - I felt great for about 1.5 miles and then the same old stomach issues come back - I feel miserable and sick to my stomach the rest of the way and cannot pull out faster than 5:50 for the third mile.  5:39, 5:41, 5:52, and 1:05 for 0.19 partial.  Recovered from taht, jogged around a bit more and into a 400m TT for S&G.  1:00 flat... no comment.  Recovery for abit and alot of slow jogging around the track for the rest of the 6 hours.  Managed about 34 miles total for the day and pounded some Big Woods pizza afterward.
