7:30 am - Today was my 10 up/10 down run with Sasha.  I wasn't certain how this would go with having a much less than stellar nutrition and sleep week but I was going to give it what I had.

We covered the first 10 in 1:17:48.  The initial plan going down was to hit 1 hour even but it wasn't quite in the cards today.  The splits went a follow - 5:50, 5;41, 6:15, 6:16, 6:12, 6:12, 6:21, 6:32, 6:45 and 6:58.  The last three miles leading to Sasha's are killer (especially the last) and I was definitely gasses.  I finished in 1:02:53 with a hard last 100.  I ended up feeling this workout for several days after.  It wasn't quite what I wanted but given the parameters it wasn't half bad.

Zero miles - camping with the scouts with only two of us adults so no go in the running.

Once again no miles with scout camp and to much to do in the afternoon and evening.

4:00 pm - 8.2 miles - 1:00:18 on the Shaggy Mountain Loop (almost broke an hour).  Ended up with an afternoon run and didn't want to deal with traffic.

7:30 am - 20 miles with Sasha, Collin and Steve Ashbaker.  I was somewhat nervous about this run since I was feeling under the weather (chest cold) and wasn't certain how I would fair.  The plan was to go 12 easy - 2 miles with Sasha's kids then 9 miles up to South Fork and 1 easy down - then 4 at 6:20 pace and the last 4 at whatever I could muster.  At the turn-around in South fork I just sort of started letting the downhill take me and gaped the guys with a 6:38.  I followed that up with a 6:23, 6:15, 6;16, and 6:09 which all felt very under control until about the last quarter of the 6:09 and I could really feel my body starting to work.  Shortly after the 6:09 my body said it was done, the guys caught me and Sasha told me to try to hang on but all I could muster was a 6:56 and then it really went south from there.  I don't have splits but there was walking involved (my back was sore, my neck was sore, my legs were tired and my breathing still high).  Had I not been sick I think I could have really nailed this workout.  Better now than two week from now.
