BLAH.... This was supposed to be my 20 mile run.  Instead of going around 6am like I normally do, I waited to start until around 11am.  I felt fine and I was going slow which felt nice.  It was a lot more hilly of a run than I have done on my long runs, but I felt like sinc I was going slower I could handle it.  The heat took its tool on me and when mile 15 hit I started tanking really quickly.  I didn't bring any water and I couldn't find any avaliable water close so it drained me physically and mentally.  I made it to 16.5 before Lacey came and picked me up.  This was stupid because my body was feeling fine but it's a good learning experience of what to expect when I run later in the day.  Oh and now I have a horrible sun burn....  Avergae pace was 7:09.

I got in about 2 setting up the interval course for the teams pracice, but once practice started I didn't get anymore in.  Again I wish I would have but I wanted to see how they all did and then I had to get home quickly.

This was an interesting 8 miles.  I never felt great but I didn't feel horrible.  I was supposed to do a pace run but on my warm up mile I already felt fatigued.  Then it started hailing and raining pretty hard the last two or three miles, which was... funish.  It's nice to have that every once in a while.

Warmed up with luke and ryan before their race.  Felt fine, wish I would have been able to go more but it didn't work out.

Track workout: 2x(1600, 400, 800).  1600 @ 10k, 400 @ mile, and 800 @ 5k pace with 3 minutes rest in between each.  I went fast on all of them and felt ok but on the last couple intervals my calve tightened up really bad so I didn't finish the last 800.  splits were 5:28, 1:12, 2:38, 5:21, 1:09, 1:19.  It is really hard to relax and run these slower paces when I am by myself and just want to get things done with.... Bleh....

Was going to do a track work out but I had to get some grading done so i will move that workout to tomorrow.  However on this run my form felt horrible and my knee was bugging me the whole time.  My achilles felt fine which I am thankful for, but I really dont' want to have to start dealing with my knee again.  I'm hoping it is just lag from my satruday run and that I got all the bad juju out so I will feel better tomorrow.  We shall see.
