Ran end of leg 8 to a good chunk of Leg 9. Started with top boys and rolled my ankle just before mile 2. Fell behind the top guys on the first hill. Ran with Parker R and Jaxon L for a minute. Then saw Dave flipping so I figured I’d try to run with the big dogs. Lasted a mile and a half on the return trip. Tried to keep a good pace going on my own. Got to the turn to the park then went back to check on Kyle and Ian. All in all a good Monday run for me. 10 miles
AM- Washington Steps. Hit a new PR (7:31). Pushed with T Madison. Ran with Dave up to catch up with Liv and Samantha. Hit 4 uphill strides (because that’s the way it is) and down to the boilers with the boys. Took a dip and ran back to school with the girls. Added a little on my own to hit 6. 6.01 miles
PM- Went for 20 minutes, maybe a new record on heat that I’ve run in? Took a completely frozen water bottle to watch it melt. 2.28 miles
AM- Out past the Turf Farm with the boys. Flipped with Silvers and hit stride progression. Added on my own and hit some weird Washington areas I’ve never seen. Weights after. 6.25 miles
PM- Got out later than I wanted but felt more nice. 2.23 miles
AM- Pushing T (not that T). Pushing Trey around the Bloomington Hills Park while the team did their progression workout. 3.34 miles
AM2- Workout and cool. Mixed in with some groups without a stroller. Just caught the very end of the workout then hit some cool. 2.17 miles
PM- DT without Tall T. The warm up was basically my workout. Hit the 5x90s. 1 with the boys and 4 with Em and Mama W. Cooled afterwards with Giant Otter Pop for the win. 3.40 miles
Marathon & Spartan Training. Was gonna run part of the marathon course then home. My downhill miles weren’t that fast so I figured “if you’re not running fast, might as well run slow”. Decided to run the roller coaster trail to work on my uphill endurance. Goal was to not walk on those tall boys. 11.10 miles
