AM- Snuck a little run before the team showed up. Nothing special. 1.45
AM2- Day 1 of xc and marathon training. Ran with the girls out towards Maverick. Added a little with Jason and Kaelynn. Kids Club after. Triple Decker assembled and dominated. 5.6 miles
PM- Needed this one to break up the day. Despite the warmth I still felt better than this morning. 3.05 miles
AM- Ran with the younger crew and got strides rolling. I didn’t last too long doing barefoot running. Felt much better after putting shoes on. 4.01 miles
PM- Fueled by movie theater popcorn and zeppes I embarked on a gut wrenching run in Bloomington. Came around a random corner and had a Pit Bull sprinting at me. I yelled and braced myself to throw hands only to have some lady yelling from a RV. Luckily cooler heads prevailed and I didn’t have to murder that dog. Ran into the desert and navigated my way home with a tummy ache. 5.5 miles
Wanted to run with the younger boys but they were spread all over the place. Flipped with Bennett and Joseph and picked up Liam. Ran 3 sets of 2 minutes on and 3 minutes steady. Joseph stayed with me and did really well. Added looking for kids. 7.05 miles
AM- Got to the school with 20 minutes to spare so went for a little loop. 2.2 miles
AM2- Into Washington with the girls. After getting back to the school I went back for Terry, Allen, and Langston. Then additional out and back with Elin and Sariah. Added even more after stretches. 5.82 miles
PM- 103. Getting used to those high temps. Enjoyable run around Bloomington. 3.1 miles
One of those mornings where I found every reason to stop. Adjusted my shoes, took off calf sleeves, looked at a snake, etc. Decided to hit some desert since I was running slow. My last couple of miles is where I felt the best. I’ll bounce back and I’m super excited for next weekend! 8.53 miles
