| Lunch- did a few laps by myself. Hot, hot, felt terrible. Then ran the new GE trail we are building to check the planned locations for mileage and directional signs. We added a few more. I'm worn out. Did an hour but probably only ran 5 or 6 miles.

| Lunch- wanted to run, but yesterday was the first day my knee started feeling a bit better, so I didn't want to immediately aggravate it again. Did some XT instead. Might run tomorrow.

Moonshiner Night Trail Race 5k (3.11 Miles) 00:18:50, Place overall: 1 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Crosstraining miles | Total Miles | | 5.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 3.00 | 0.00 | 8.00 |
| PM- Time for the annual Moonshiner 5k, a night 5k on trails, which makes it a very unique and fun race (plus they give $200+ swag to the winner). I won the past 2 years in 18:45 and 17:58. I wasn't too sure how it would go this year on account of only running 3 days out of the past 9, plus my injury, but I would go try. Warmed up 4 or so miles, said Hi to a few friends, then waited while the ranger tried to clear a new downfall tree on the trail at the .5 mile mark (he never got it off). The thunderstorms that threatened to cancel the race ended just in time but the trails were all muddy, which I love. We started and I led from the gun, except when someone passed me right at the tree, leaving me in 2nd for half a mile. Passed him back and got a bit of a gap on the small road section (I could tell I was working as hard as I could as my hands and arms were going tingly), then steadily pulled away on the downhill trail. The headlights were close enough that I had to keep pushing, but I ended up winning by 24 seconds. Half Moon Outfitters always does a great job, and running this race is a fun tradition. Cooled down with the Honnette's and Brandon Arquette, an ex-GE guy who finished 2nd. Saw a huge frog on the trail, too.
Knee felt ok. We'll see how it is tomorrow.

| Ward camp out with 3 of the kids, then a birthday party, mow the lawn, then Kinley's 8th birthday party. No run. Knee needs the break, anyways. They say it's better to be healthy and undertrained than injured at a race. I'm going to be injured and undertrained. | |

| Training all day at work and I'm sick. Snuck in 8 miles before going to Boy Scouts. Two night in a row of being gone from 7 am till 9:30 pm. Long days make for tired Jon. Plus I don't see my kids at all. | |

| Stubbed my middle toe real bad last night- it's all swollen and purple today, very painful. No run. I'm just hoping it is stubbed and not broken. Figures this happen one week before my big 100 miler of the year.

| Walking to check on my kids Wed night, I didn't turn on the light in the hallway and ran into some furniture, toe first. Yes, it hurt.
Went to the doc Fri morning for an X-ray.
The yellow arrow is pointing to the bone that broke off my toe when I stubbed it. That chunk also happens to attach to the tendon that flexes the toe. Not something you want to run 2.5 million steps with at Grindstone 100 next week.
Anyways, I'm pretty bummed about this. I'm going to an Orthopedic specialist Monday morning, but I'm likely done running for at least a month or two, which means my racing season is over. Bummer. I was very excited for the next two races.
