8 miles - 79 degrees HUMID.  With Brittanie.  MCT.  The only reason I'm still running this race is because of Carter.  My quads hurt so bad.

14 miles with Brittanie, Tyla and Bree T on the MCT.  70 degrees.  This was WAY too fast and I kept wishing I could go slower.  My quads were SO sore and my emotional status was terrible.

I think I'm done with running for awhile.  I'm so burned out.

3 miles on TM.

Met with Scott (PT) about my quads.  He said I'm not recovering enought.  I'm just so burned out and really grumpy about running.

MCT with Brittanie - 72 degrees.  800's with Brittanie.  The goal was to go slower and I did.  But I couldn't go faster if I wanted too.  This is stressing me out.

Long run with Tyla on the MCT - 64 degrees.  I finally resorted to taking Advil before the run and felt like a new person.

Tyla had a workout and I decided to just put forth "effort".  I was surprised at how long I held on for!  Finally gave me a speck of hope!
