3 miles in the morning with the kids.

10 miles in the afternoon.

Nice to have quite a few kids continue to come out and run in the morning.  I ran 7 miles in the afternoon with some of the boys.  It was nice and hot but manageable.  Everyone is running good right now.

I did another 3 miles by my parent's house.  I ran with my little sister for a bit and it was fun having her along.  Really windy but it felt nice to get into the pool right after I finished.

Big day of running.  Ran with the guys this morning.

3.5 mile warm up

7 miles at MP

2.5 mile cool down

The route was not easy this morning.  It was flat with some small climbs.  I was not looking forward to the run that much due to eating Chicken Lime Enchiladas my mom made last night.  It was sitting well!  Once we got going I was hitting the times but my stomach was not feeling well.  I ended up having to stop on the side of the trail to take care of business.  While doing so, Clyde and Dave ran by and had a little chuckle.  Here are the splits: 5:37, 5:29, 5:24, 5:32, 5:27, potty stop, 5:24, and 5:26.  Really glad to hit the times despite being uncomfortable.  A little cooler morning helped make the run great.

I did "Mini Meat Grinders" with the team up Webb Hill today.  If you don't know Webb Hill, you are missing out.  I had water at the top and the bottom which helped keep the kids hydrated.  The kids did 800m repeats up to the gate and then came back down.  I ran with some of the girls today and then finished the last one with the boys.  The kids did great with the workout and I was happy to see them pushing up the big hill.  6.5 miles total.

Slept in this morning so I got all of my miles in the afternoon and early evening.  I ran 6.5 miles with the girls this afternoon and then did another 2.25 miles after practice.  It was really hot today.  I had to do a bunch of work and then I hit the roads again right around 8pm.  I did 6.25 miles around Santa Clara over into Ivins.  I finished at my parent's house and then jumped in the pool right after.  What a really hot day!

I did close to 6 miles with the team today.  We did an easy warm up and then did 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 3-3, 2-2, 1-1 up on the grass field above the football field.  The kids did great.  It was fun hearing everyday (everyone at the school watching the freshman football game) say how crazy we were for running in the heat.  I told the kids they are all fat and lazy so they can be proud.  Way to go team!

Another 6.5 miles after practice around Little Valley.  I got really dehydrated.  I need to drink more fluids.  Happy to be done though.

Woke up at 3:15am to meet up with Clyde, James, and Dave for a 20 miler.  We all went to dinner last night at Red Robin and were feeling the effects still this morning.  We started at Clyde's house and then went out towards Warner Valley and back.  The wind was blowing but still 81 degrees outside.  We kept it nice and relaxed which was nice since all of our stomachs were jacked and we were all basically asleep still.  We had to be done since we had the cross country meet in Cedar today.

Results for the SUU Invite:

Boys -

1st- Pineview (way to go Dave!)

2nd- Mtn. View

3rd- Canyon View

4th- Desert Hills

5th- Cedar

Very happy with the boys team results today.  Everyone on the team ran great today.
