The Mongoose

3 easy in the morning. 8 in the afternoon. Fairly hot outside today. I can tell we are all getting used to the heat because this run was much easier than our first 8 mile run in the afternoon at about the same temperature. 8x100m barefoot striders on the grass afterwards. Really tired today.

3 in the morning. In the afternoon we did 9 total (2.5 mile warm up to dirt by Industrial Park, 6x1000m repeats, cool down back to school). Very hot again today. I don't know if it's just a hot week but the past couple of runs have really been hard on my legs. I also have had very little energy and have been experiencing shortness of breath during our workouts. I thought it might be water but I drink 4 water bottles during school. I'm getting a fair amout of sleep too. I think I might just be exhausted from school and what not.

3 in the morning as usual. 6 in the afternoon. Pretty hot for most of the run and I'm still feeling a little crappy. I'm pretty sure it's the heat now though.

I took this morning off because I was feeling exhausted and I could hardly get any sleep last night. In the afternoon we did 6.5 total (3 mile warmup, 4x2:00 hard w/1:00 recovery, 5x400m w/30 sec recovery, .5 mile cool down) on the dirt and grass at Bloomington Park. I felt a lot better today even though it was still pretty hot.

Ran 6 this morning with Coach and Brigham. We weren't going to do a morning run but Brigham had work and I was leaving after school to watch my sister run in her first college race. It turned out that I wasn't going to leave until like 6:30 so I ran just an easy 3 in the afternoon on the trails by the Thatcher's house.

Had to get up at 6:30 to leave from Sandy to Logan so I couldn't do my run in the morning. As soon as her race was over we had to get back on the road so I couldn't get my run in there either. We got home at about 8 and I tried to go on a short 6 mile run but it got dark so I had to turn around at 1.5 and ended up doing just a 3 mile run.
