Better.  Still pretty hot and humid, but did 5 1/2 easy miles, then 1 at MGP, and then 1 about about 40 seconds inside MGP followed by a short cool down.  It will obviously take more than that to secure a 3:10, but much better after the horror story that was Saturday!!

8 miles this morning.  It started out with a 4 mile warm-up.  I’m not sure I needed to “warm up” as it was pretty warm and humid outside!!  After that we did some drills, core work, with 800 meters in between each set.  Then some jumping, bounding, and finally the warm down to the annex.  Then there was the 1 ½ mile bike ride home!!

Steady recovery run this morning.  Again the conditions were slightly better than they have been, but still pretty damn hot and humid.  Tomorrow will be some speed work of some kind, and then it will be operation hydrate for the weekend long run.

1 ½ miles way up, then some drills.  1 ½ miles at about 90% effort…9:07…I’d hoped for around 8:50, but conditions were not conducive.  After that we did 12 x 200 meters to work on turnover followed by a cool down.  Day off tomorrow, and then hopefully a solid 16 miles on Saturday.

BETTER..It was hot and and humid, but I started out slow, and put in a steady run.  I kept plugging away and didn't feel too bad when I finished.  Hopefully this is the turning point!!
