Travel Day. Decided it was a better use of my time to spend the morning with my parents rather than getting a run in before I left.

Hard day.

Met with Riley, Bryant and Ken at 21st street. 3 mile warm up then 3 miles at 5:44, 5:50, 5:49. 2 minute rest then 2 miles at 5:35, 5:40. Then I jogged back and pulled Ken in for the last .3 of his last mile. Missed my split but talking to Ken, I was around 70 second quarter mile pace for that .3. 2 mile cool down. 5:47 average for first 3 miles and 5:37 average for 2nd set with a total average of 5:43.6 for the 5 miles.

Slow hilly easy run with Jason Holt and Riley. Damn Cook took me up and down a bunch of hills. Still feeling yesterday. Planning on heading out this evening for another 5. Wanna hit between 65-70 miles again this week before I bump it up to 75 after three weeks in the mid 60s.

PM 4.1 solo easy run

Woke up this morning feeling not right. Tried to go out and run but something felt off. Found out I ate a can of soup yesterday that was 4 months expired. Misread the label. Called in sick and slept it off. ate healthy during the day and felt better this evening and went for a run. Well the soup struck back about 1/2 a mile after I turned around. Made for a rough last couple miles but happy I got my run in. Gonna rehydrate and head for bed.

14.42 miles solo from the house. Decided to push the last three miles 5:52, 5:55, 5:47 feeling really strong after yesterday's rough run. It felt great to push it hard when I was fatigued.

Planned on 10-12 for today but rocking out at the 'Fun.' (name of the band for those that don't know) show last night and standing for a total of 5.5 hours took a lot out of my legs so I turned around early in lieu of have to stop and walk with a mile left. Won't give up that concert though. Kayla got the tickets for us in April. They put on a hell of a show and my voice is partially gone. Love a good rock show where you can dance jump around and sing along at the top of your lungs. (the 16 year old in me) Lost a lot of water at the concert I am sure and my weight shows it.
