AM- Got out for my 2 mile morning run and and bumped into Jayne Stringfellow so I walked with her for a little bit. She is enjoying retirement. 1.52 miles
PM: 4ish with the boys then 3ish on my own in Bloomington. 6.86 miles
Hiked around White Rocks with some family members. Then I had Marieta drop me off after Winchester Hills. I ran almost all the way home. Ran 8 miles at a 7:13 pace then I slowed down for the last little bit. 9.53 miles
AM- Ran the Capstone 50k course with my Dad and George. My Dad is pretty sure he has the course down. It took me a while to warm up. I slowed Ross and George down (which meant more recovery time for them). After the hard steep miles I warmed up. I wanted to do the loop twice (like the race will be). I even stored a kickstart energy drink at the start line to drink in between laps, to see if my stomach could handle it. Some jagoff stole it! I was pretty bummed. I went and bought a new one and ran a little extra just to do the experiment. Stomach was fine. 8.06 miles
Loop 1
1. 7:47
2. 11:10
3. 10:22
4. 9:15
5. 9:39
6. 7:09
56:31/9:11 mi
I know I can run better in actual race environment.
PM- Ran over to play football at Gubler Park. Wish I could've run more. .63
AM- Ran the reverse loop of Capstone with Ross. I almost called the run off because of severe chafing yesterday. I took some preventative measures and survived today. I ran pretty well. The climbs and rocks still slowed me down but I ran the time I expected. I should be looking at a 1:52-1:55 for next week's race. 7.31 miles
Reverse Loop:
1. 9:22
2. 11:26
3. 10:53
4. 8:12
5. 7:56
6. 7:24
56:02/9:08 mi
PM- Hanging out with in laws and cousins forced me out for a second run. Ran Upper Graveyard to Cholla. It was getting dark and I only saw private property in front of me so I turned around. I had to cut through the desert and bush whack through some rough terrain. I barely made it through in the darkness. 4.02 miles
