Another slug fest. I always know when I am kind of out shape when my calves get super tight on any uphill longer than 10 feet. Ran out Navajo Road. Started with Coleman and Evan. Then they passed me on a long uphill stretch. Then the girls caught up with me so I ran with them until another steep uphill. I noticed Holt didn't keep coming up so I figured he turned around with the lower minute kids. Jason was with the girls. So I decided I would try to catch the upper level boys. I put in a good effort to stay up with them. They had great energy and were singing songs. Allen was trailing the crew so I kept one eye on him and tried keeping up with the others during tempos. Eventually I started to fade so I went back for Allen. I wasn't sure if he was going to reject me or let me run with him. He was feeling neasous and we just casually ran together and talked about music. 9.22 miles
AM- Weights and loop. Dork kids ran with a broken plastic basketball hoop for 2 miles.
PM- Setting up the Dixie-All Comers course then some miles with the varsity boys. That golf course water was my saving grace. I turned back early with Porter because he was feeling sick. 4.88 miles
AM- Race pace intervals this morning. I jumped in for porttions of the interval, couldn't keep the pace for 4:30. I ran 3 with Adri, Brinley, and Katie. Then I ran 1 with Brooklyn as she led the group. Cooled with girls. 6 miles
PM- Ran in the heat with the boys. Had a great conversation with Carson Horspool. 5.56 miles
No AM run because Marieta and I don't get any sleep anymore. Got out and did kick it with the boys. The lack of sleep amd heat got to me but my Rincons were sexy and felt great. Striders after until lightning made us stop practice. 6.13 miles
