Ran 3 miles with my 12-year-old to yet ready for her June road race- I was able to sneak out a marathon paced mile for the week, since mile 2 was 7min flat.

Ran 7.25 miles w/my 14-year-old to get ready for a June road race as well (7-miler)- it was mid-80's and humid, yet she still was able to hold about an 8:35-40 pace throughout- her fastest mile was 7:45 and slowest mile was 9:01. 10.25 miles for the day.

It was raining out again w/a slight chance of thunderstorms, so back to the TM: 1-mile warm-up and then 6 mp miles (7:13,6:48,6:48,6:44,6:44,6:39), closed with a .5 mile cooldown and was forced to shutdown due to how slippery the TM had become- 7.5 miles total. Meetings tonight, so hope to slip a few miles in afterwards if possible.

Hot and humid out, so decided to run the first 6-miles of the Litchfield Road Race (7-mile race) that will be in 2 1/2 weeks @ 1pm in the afternoon. Thought I need a tough day to get acclimated- be careful what you wish for! Ran the first 3.5 miles hard (took 2-minute breather because I was dying) and then pushed it for 59:53 (6:39 pace)- jogged the final mile and then did an extra 3 with my 14-year-old- I was seriously dead! Good training run though!

Feeling a little bit under the weather, so thought I'd just take an easy jog on the trails. By mile 2-3 I thought I was feeling a little bit better (8:45ish) pace, but by mile 5 I was halfway out and becoming a mess. It ended up being a 10mile run w/the last 2-3 miles being a run/walk. Took forever getting home and then had the shiver/shakes for another hour or so. Went to bed early, hoping to shake this cold.

Ridiculously hot today w/high humidity. Ran 3 miles w/my 12-year-old at just under 8min pace, ran 6 w/my 14-year-old at 8:30 pace, and then a final cooldown mile- 10.1 miles total...might get a second run in the evening to bring in a 70-mile week.

Didn't get the 70-mile week, yet still threw in another 3-miles on the TM.
