El Burro Blanco

3 miles easy this morning.

8 miles out on the trails with the guys. It was quite hot today. Yikes!

13+ miles this morning with The Circle. Felt good going into this tempo. Did the usual warm up and then got started. No potty stop which kind of made me nervous. Started out and clicked off some pretty good miles. Felt decent through 5 miles and then the stomach started acting up. Hit 6 miles at a 5:34/mile and then needed to stop and dry heave/whatever for a bit. Jogged mile 7 and then decided I needed to finish strong. Hit a 5:40 for the last mile. Nothing spectacular.

Ran a little bit with the team once I got back to the high school as they were finishing up.

5.5 miles this afternoon. Did the warm up and then a little bit of a cool down while the team did their 2nd time trial on the season. Lots of improvement from the last time. Very happy!
 

3 miles this morning.

6 miles this afternoon. Lots of rain yesterday made the trails yucky today. I paid for it. We had a giant mud puddle to navigate through and I decided to hop along the side in the weeds to see if I could get by. Bad idea! I hit a patch of mud and ended up going down right in the water. It was about a foot of water and I got mud everywhere. The boys could not stop laughing. Not one of them asked if I was okay :) It smelt like the bog of eternal stench!

3 miles easy this morning.

7.5 miles this afternoon with the team at Bloomington Hills North Park. 3 mile warm up and then 2x2 mile repeats over hay bales in preparation for the grass relays this weekend. Lots of fun for the team. Hit 11:52 for the first one and then ran a 5:45 for one mile and relaxed until the boys came back around and then pushed them in the last half mile. Cooled down a little after wards. Good work from the team today.

5 miles this morning. 2 before meeting up with the team and then 3 with the team to the bridge and back.

4 miles this afternoon on the state course at Sugarhouse Park. 3 miles easy + 8x100m strides + .5 mile cool down.

Did not sleep well last night. I only had a mat to sleep on since we were crammed in the hotel room. Stomach wasn't sitting right. I told the boys last night the coaches would do the workout after the grass relays if they took top 2. They finished 2nd overall to American Fork and ran the 9th fastest time ever in the 19 year history of the meet! Girls took 9th overall as well. Very happy with this.

Got my running stuff on along with the other coaches and did a mile warm up, 6x:30sec. hard/:30 sec. easy with a slight cool down. Not too bad but way more happy about how the team did today. A move in the right direction for sure. 2.5 miles total for me.
