Woke up this morning and did my usual 3 mile loop by my house. Did my core when I got home. Will run more this afternoon.

PM: Met up with Levi and Danny. Ran an outside lap around SHP then an inside lap. The heat really takes it out of you. Felt good after. I wasnt tired during the run from the run, just from the heat. 

Today was my first track workout in a year and a half... and OH MAN DID IT SHOW! I met up with Levi and Danny and did  laps warm up then  laps of J's. We stretched, drenched our heads because it was 100 degrees today and started the workout. We did 5x300 then an 800. Since I hadnt been on the track, or done speed in a long time, I was going for 80's. We did continuous 300's where we jogged the 100 as recovery. Times went like 60, 59, 59, 57, 60, 60. We all took turns leading. Then the 800 I went 2:41. Levi and Danny destroyed me on that. I was so exhausted. Then we did a mile and a quarter as cooldown. Did my core when I got home. I feel amazing right now.  

Met at SHP and did the state cross country course. The workout was 5 miles with 4x1 minute strides whenever you felt like it. I did the course and did my strides up all of the hills on the course to get a little hill work in also. After that, I added a half mile waiting for Larry, Levi, and Danny. When they showed up I did an inside lap in the park with them. Feel really good. Came home and did my core. 

Met up with Levi for a short run. We did an inside loop in SHP, then an outside loop. Added a bit more to get to 4. Hips felt tight today. Did my core when I got home. 

Austin and I did the Mt. Olympus trail. It was mostly a hike but we ran when it flattened out and ran the whole way back. Spent the rest of the day ounging in the hammocks at Liberty Park.
