Ran with the girls today. We did our warm up and then 5x500m dirt hill repeats and then 4x300m progression finishes on the track. Solid workout for the girls.

Got home from working at the store all day and had a really bad migraine. I laid down and ended up falling asleep for 3 hours. Katey had to wake me up to just eat dinner. I did not feel well. I think I got some stuff Oliver had over the weekend.

Woke up and the temps were great (66 degrees). I wasn't feeling great but knew I should give it a go on the tempo. It was just Steve and myself this morning while Clyde jogged around. Hit the 7 mile tempo with a 5:41/mile average. Nothing spectacular but got through it. The legs felt heavy still and just didn't have any pep today. 13.1 miles total.

Got to practice and ran around Webb Hill with the boys. 7.5 miles total at 7:24/mile. Very solid group again today.

Aqua jogged in my parent's pool after kid's club for about 20 minutes while Norah swam.

7.5 miles this morning with the guys while they did their 20 minute tempo run on the track. Ran with Tanner and Scott for most of it and then pushed them in the last 4 minutes for a strong finish. Plyombata after wards.

7 miles after work in the heat. 107 degrees today. Ran into Santa Clara and back. Too hot!

Ran 4 miles in Santa Clara before I met up with the team at Barrel Roll. Actually got rained on a bit. Ran the Barrel Roll loop and it was perfect conditions with it being overcast. Very lucky to have that this morning. 8 miles with the team for 12 total this morning.

Went to my parent's house to go swim and have a BBQ. Ran from Walmart to the house. 5.3 miles total for 7:13/mile. 109 degrees. I was super tired after this one. The pool was great. It was a blast watching the Blue Angels practice. We will have a great view sitting at my parent's house on Saturday.

7 miles this morning at BHNP. Ran the warm up with mainly the boys and then hopped in with some of the girls and boys on the Fartlek workout. 4x3:00min. w/3:00min. recovery and then 2x:30sec. w/:30sec. recovery in the middle. Happy with how they ran today. It is always super humid there so of course I was drenched and the team gave me funny looks :)

6 more miles this afternoon pushing Oliver in the jogging stroller. Had a little bit of cloud cover and wind which was nice. He loves riding in the jogging stroller. I look forward to the day he can either ride his bike or run a little with me. Pushing the stroller is hard work.

My thoughts and prayers are with Terri Lusk who was hit by a car this morning while running. Also, thoughts and prayers with Ally Holt who was running with her. A very sad and unfortunate situation. Please be careful out there and remember to hug those you love. A lot as been on my mind today.

Went and did our annual Little Black Mtn. loop. Good group of kids out today. I started with the girls and then took off after 5 miles to try and catch the boys. They were moving so I didn't get close to them. Good stuff from them again. Girls ran well also. 10 miles total.

Planned on doing more but I decided to just go home and be with the family. With all of the incidents lately going on I told myself I need to make a more conscious effort to be with the family more. That is what is most important!
