Did 20-min of weights at the gym and then went on a loop through Morris w/final 1.5 miles on trails. It was mid-80's and humid, so I decided to break up my threshold miles. Started w/1-mile warm-up and then 2-mile tempo slightly uphill (6:41,6:32) jogged two more slowly and then went into a 2nd 2-mile tempo slightly downhill (6:28,6:10) and then jogged the rest back to the gym- 9.9 miles total.

Ran 2-miles down to the track w/2 of my girls on bikes. Did 200 x 4 w/my 13-year-old (36.5,37.5,38,37.5) and then veered out into the woods for a few miles before finishing up back on the road. Ran mile 8 hard (5:48) and did the last 1.25 as a "cooldown"- 9.25 miles total.

I was hoping to get in my first 70-mile week before heading off for a mission trip tomorrow. Jogged a mile, ran 6.25 at mp (6:48,6:56,6:35,6:58,7:00,7:05, stopped .25 into next mile), but shut it down a bit when my achilles started to feel the downhill towards the end. Ran 8:50 total. May be good for me to get rest this upcoming week (when it comes to running).
