I wanted to get up a little earlier this morning but it didn't workout that way but I was out the door by 6:30 and man was it hot!!! I headed out to GU corner and on the way out I ran into my brother Curtis and chatted for a minute, I wanted to run some with him on the way back but he must have went a different way cuz I couldn't find him on my way back. My legs were pretty dead the whole run, I dont' now why maybe from the heat the last few days and I haven't hydrated very good as usual. My average pace was 8:22 and my total time was 1:24:19, I tacked on a couple more miles when I got back to the house to make it an even 10 out on the road and my legs couldn't have gone another step. After the run I was able to jump on the elliptical for 45 minutes with the pace upbeat, between 95 and 100 on the RPM, with no resistance. I finished up with some strength training on my upper body and then some push-ups. 4 of the miles on the run were as follows: 8:09, 8:17, 8:11, 8:02, I wasn't really trying to hard on these but my legs were tired and so it seemed like it was harder than it really was;)
I Took yesterday off as I was tired from UBBA, emotionally and physically but I am way proud of our boys they did really well. the first game went into extra innings after we came back and tied them at 3 all in the last inning but we ended up losing 4 to 3 on an error, bummer. The second game we were playing for 3rd or 4th and we jumped on them early 10 to 1 but then our boys started getting tired and the other team came back and almost beat us but our boys hung on to win 12 to 11. So both games were close and exciting and the boys over excelled and never gave up. So 3rd over all is pretty good considering everyone thought we wouldn't even make it out of pool play and we were one run from being in the championship game so pretty darn good!!! I think this is Ethan's last year of playing which is kind of sad, he's a great player but I think he wants to concentrate on soccer, maybe he will change his mind. See ya on Monday.
