5.30 miles this morning with some of the boys. Huge turn out for today which was nice. Hopefully we can keep getting lots of kids out. 7:10/mile.

Lots more homework today but I was able to take a break and go run Barrel Roll. I drove my truck over and started at the bottom just past the bridge. Their was lots of cloud cover, wind, and a little bit of rain. It was absolutely perfect running conditions. Nice run this evening and really pushed up the hills. Saw lots of rabbits and even saw a rainbow (No leprechauns or Lucky Charms though). Decent start to the week.

Nice cloud cover again this morning. It rained a little bit which was very welcome. I did a loop with the boys around Webb Hill and then we did 6x1:00min. hill repeats with 3:00min. recovery by the high school. I have started saying to many of the kids that they are part billy goat the way they can blast up hills. I had a goat when I was a kid and his name was McGruff. We named this hill by the school: McGruff's Revenge. 7.75 miles for the run this morning.

Nice easy 7 mile loop with the boys and Darian from the high school over to the Bloomington Loop and then back along the trail. I didn't swallow that many bugs which was nice.

4 miles this afternoon in the lovely heat. I drenched my shirt and then put ice cubes in a small bag and set it in my hat. I actually stayed fairly cool. I think I might do this more.

Webb Hill workout with the team this morning. We ran over to Webb Hill and then did 6x1:30min. repeats with 3:30min. recovery back down. It was fun watching people who were hiking up the hill look at us like we were crazy for running up it. Good times. Some of the kids are really surprising me this year. I am excited.

3 miles in the afternoon with some of the kids at the school.

10 miles this evening at the club run. Pretty warm but the wind cooled it off a little bit. Dave started pushing 3 miles in and so the rest is history. We kept it steady and finished 6:24/mile. Good run and happy with the day's work.

Nice and easy 3 miles this morning with some of the kids. I had a lot to do today so I took a much needed ice bath and then did homework for pretty much the rest of the day.

No need to stress with the race next week. Slight taper.

Ran the Utah Hill loop off of Navajo Dr. in Bloomington with Dave and Clyde this morning. The temps were a little "cool" for this time of year. It was under 70 degrees when we started and actually stayed mild throughout the run. We ran out to the junction which was 4 miles to drop water and then did 2 big loops before finishing it off. This run has plenty of good hills and is all trail. It was not crazy fast but I really tried to push the uphills. I planned on going longer but Dave and Clyde talked me out of it due to my race in California next week. It should be fun.

Decent week and next week will be just nice and relaxed heading into the 50k. I am very excited.
