Progression Daily

AM- Secret Sauce, Pushing Tin, and Petroglyph route. Ran with Adri, Kate, Brook, and Brianna. Small group but good time. We dropped YaYa off after 60 minutes and continued on with just the 3. We had a really great conversation about the state of the team. My left leg feels strained but loosened up. 11.13 miles 

PM- Late night sluggish. 4.64 miles 

AM- Woke up just to feel crappy with my leg strain. Went back to sleep to rest up. Trying not to panic about taking a break from running.....for a morning.  .67 

PM- Ran over to Bloomington Hills park to meet up with the team. Steamy! 3.43 miles 

PM- Warmed up with the varsity girls with strides. Then did a series of 60 seconds at faster than race pace, 3 minutes at race, 60 seconds at faster than race pace, 5 minutes at cv, 60 seconds faster, 3 minutes at race, and 60 seconds at faster. It was hot and hard but the girls ran well and endured. I did too with some struggles but my leg held up. Watched the JV kids run their 2 mile race. Then I started to run home from the race. I asked Marieta to pick me up at the Dixie Center. Ran into Metler, Noe, Justin, and Ross there. 7.89 miles 

AM- Felt after rolling out of bed and getting some miles. 2.56 miles 

AM2- 25 with the boys then some minutes on the track. 5.21 miles 

PM- Brain melting run. Started with boys down to Sullivan. Branched off to Freshman boys to make sure they didn't die in the heat. From there I just went back for kids that were struggling and walking. Preston was really struggling. After some light jogging and walking with him I added some more on my own. 7.25 miles 

AM- Another struggle to get out of bed and get something. 2.40 miles

AM2- Weights and running with the team. Felt like I ran alot for only getting 6 miles in the morning. 3.64 miles 

PM- Scavenger Hunt with Dave and Jason. It was fun to get out and do something more casual as a team. I added 2 miles with Jason. I am not getting much much from this hot runs so my miles are down a little bit for the week. 4.10 miles 

AM- Warmed with the girls over to do Hill Circuits then switched to the boys. We did 3 without the last downhill on the 3rd one. I pushed well and the boys pushed great! I did better on the short uphills and downhills. I had a hard time staying at it for the long uphill. Got some confidence back after doing a longer run not in extreme heat. 8.27 miles 

PM- Marieta went shopping at Costco and I started a run instead. Ran from Costco to Bloomington Wal-Mart where she picked me up. I went through stretches of feeling great to feeling really tired. Some head wind didn't help. 7.83 miles 

AM- Drove up the course with Aaron, Cody, Noe, Lance, and Reese. I went up 22 miles from the finish line with Aaron and Reese. Plan was to run 10 warm up then 10 at tempo then 2 recovery. I really had a hard time "warming up" for 10 miles (probably should have done like 5 warm). At around 13 miles I got really really thirsty. I drank scratch energy at around 11.5. My thirst could not be quenched no matter how much water I drank. I stopped at some houses by Winchester and got a water refill then I even asked a guy to get me some water. Basically anywhere I could get water I would stop and get water. My only explanation is the hot week wearing me down. Also the hill circuit yesterday was rough. I think I'll bounce back, today was just very inconsistent.
