3 miles this morning with the team. Pretty cold!

10.7 miles this afternoon. It was 90 degrees with wind so I knew the workout was going to be interesting. I had to modify the workout a bit but the team still ran well. I helped push some of the girls. I then ran 4 more miles with Goulding after practice.

10.25 miles this morning with the Circle. Great conversation and good weather. The sun is coming up sooner so it helped to see the trail easier. Nice and smooth. Happy to hear about Clyde's new baby boy. 

12 miles this afternoon with the team. Today was our annual confidence workout. I give the team a specific 200m time and they have to hit it every time. If they go slower than the given pace they are out. The runner who does the most is the overall winner. I paced my top girls at :37. They kept hitting :35s and :36s. I couldn't believe how well the team did. The girls ended up doing 38 reps with my boys doing 40 reps. I had to call it since we were way late and I needed to get home. Major confidence boost for everyone. One girl had never ran farther than 10 miles in her life and she did 11+. Very proud of her. This team is awesome!

For some reason I wasn't feeling well today so I slept in this morning. 

Went to the zoo down in Moapa with the family after school. It was actually worth the drive. No time for a run.

Woke up at 2:00am to get my run in since we had a track meet in Richfield. Their was a full moon and the temperature was good. I usually get one of these crazy time of the day runs due to something and it happened to occur today. 

I did my same loop as last weekend but this time kept the pace relaxed. Ended up hitting 6:58/mile. Didn't feel the effects until later in the evening. Family was eating ice cream and I was too tired to even want some myself. Dang!

Decent way to end the week. I need to get some longer tempo runs in though.
