Big boy workout this morning with the Circle. Checked the lightning and it was mainly over Utah Hill. Wasn't too worried about it. Very hot and muggy again this morning. 4.4 mile warm up which included a VRPB. Got started on the 8 mile tempo and felt pretty good. I didn't worry about my splits but just wanted to focus on how my body was. Felt amazing the first 4 miles and then turned right in to the wind. Head wind for the next couple miles. I just tried to stay relaxed and work through it. I could see the lightning and and hear the thunder gettting closer. Not good!
Kept catching muddy spots and dealing with lots of water on the trail. I almost slipped really bad once on my backside because I caught a patch of mud. I survived though. Got rained on a little at the end which helped. 5:42/mile. I thought it was a little quicker but looking back the head wind really slowed me down. Happy to get this in. The thunder and lightning were right over the top of us on the cool down back to Clyde's house. We had no choice but to finish up. We all survived! 15 miles total.
.5 miles running with the team as they finished running inside the school.
5.6 miles this afternoon with the team. 6x500m dirt hill repeats doing some of them with the boys and then pushing Laynee and Rachel. The old gray mare he ain't what he used to be. The team looks very good right now. Just need to keep everyone healthy. Legs were pretty tired this afternoon.
