Slept in this morning which was much needed. Just ran in the afternoon with some of the boys. Nice 106 degree running weather! We all survived.

12.50 miles in the morning.

Ran with Steve, Dave, and Dustin (recent BYU graduate) this morning for our Tuesday Tempo. Nice 3 mile warm up, 6 miles of tempo, and 3.5 mile cool down. Dustin and I averaged 5:32/mile for the 6 mile section of tempo. It felt pretty good. I didn't feel that great after wards and ended up chucking a little. Yummy!

6.10 miles in the afternoon with some of the girls. I did a warm up with the team and then did a fartlek workout. The team did really well with this. Hopefully they can use this week to recover and get into September continually improving each work. Should be exciting.

5.5 miles with the boys this morning under the lights on the track. We did a ladder workout and I got the legs moving. The greatest compliment I got was when we were done and the boys said, "Coach, are you tired?" They were not that tired from the workout. That is the greatest question I could be asked. Good sign.

I am stupid and did the same workout as this morning with one of the varsity boys who had to leave early due to early morning seminary. I pushed through the workout even though it was 30 degrees hotter in the afternoon. The kids were in amazement as they watched me fly around the track :)

10 miles this evening with Aaron. This was probably one of the more cool runs (temperature wise) we have done on a Thursday night. It was fun talking with him about Hood to Coast and just spending time together. Priceless!

I am tired.

I don't recover like I used to. I slept in and just ran with some of the kids this afternoon. Work, graduate school, family, coaching is really keeping me busy. I am just trying to hit between 70-80 miles over the next little bit and I will be good.

Ran early with Steve, Aaron, and Dustin Bybee this morning. We started just off the Toquerville exit and then ran back to the store. It was really dark and it helped to have Steve's headlamp. The temps were really nice as well. It was a cool morning. Aaron felt frisky early so he took off. The three of us ran together and then Dustin and I pushed the pace a little bit. The route was pretty hilly but a good one. I am glad that I was able to do this run. Averaged 6:12/mile overall. Had a few pretty quick miles mixed in there. Cooled down with Steve over to say hi to Dave. 

I just finished watching my Aggies almost beat Auburn! It should have happened. Nobody cares about special teams until you need them. Crap!!!
