The Mongoose

Had to drive up north for a funeral last night so I was pretty tired and slept through my alarm. Didn't have time for the workout so I just did 5 around my grandma's neighborhood in Sandy. I will do the workout later today.

Got back from Sandy at around 7ish and my legs were pretty flat from the ride so I waited a couple hours to do the workout, that way it'd cool down a little bit too. Warmed up 2 and did 8x45 sec hill repeats at Webb Hill. I felt pretty good, but I couldn't see much for the last half of the workout. Finished with 2 to cool down.

8.5 easy this morning out in the desert. Kinda sucked. I think I just felt flat from the workout last night and I felt dehydrated. 8x100m barefoot strides afterwards. 

More in the evening to break out the new shoes. I decided to get the new Nike Pegasus shoes because my Kinvaras are starting to wear out. They are pretty sweet. It was a little cooler outside during my run and there was a little lightning storm out in the distance so it was a good run.

Tempo run again today out in Warner Valley. Warmed up 3.5 miles out on the dirt road and did the tempo back. We went 18 minutes this time so 3 minutes longer than last week. Averaged 5:47 for the 18 minutes while staying pretty relaxed. Good run from the guys today. Short cool down afterwards. 

3 before work in the afternoon. Very hot, 104 according to my iPod.

7 miles out on the Zen trail with Riley and Darian this morning. Felt pretty good, but I have some blisters that formed on Monday's tempo that were sort of bugging me a bit. Nothing bad. 

3 more later when I got off work. Some of my neighbors were lighting off fireworks which made for a pretty neat run.

Crazy busy day and I couldn't get the workout in, so I ended up doing 3 miles around midnight. I had planned for 7 today but I will do more tomorrow.

Only had 5 planned for today but I added 4 more becaused I had to shorten it yesterday. 9 total with a fartlek in the middle.
