8 this morning, I took it really easy because of what happened last weekend. I stopped every 2 miles to get a drink and cool down because it was pretty hot. I slept in to recover as much as possible but that also means it was hot when I was running. I survived so that's a win.

Weights and core after at the legacy center

6 miles with Joe on the trails, we technically have a speed workout this week but I started training a week late so I think I'll do it next week, depending on what coach says. So I warmed up with Joe, massaged my quad while he did hill repeats, and cooled down with him. Mileage is a little low but I need the rest so I'll probably just do 9 tomorrow, 8 Thursday, 7 Friday, and 12 Saturday for my long run. My legs are tired but I feel better than I did yesterday, and Joe said something interesting. "If you feel good on recovery days then you're not working hard enough," Couldn't agree more!

6 this morning up on the timp road with Joe and Zack after camping up there. I couldn't find my sleeping bag so I kinda froze to death but joe let me borrow his down jacket because he had a sleeping bag. He's a saint. I felt terrible because of lack of sleep so I went home and took a nap and I'll do 3 more after work. On the way down the trail at one point we got going sub-4 pace and we were FLYING!!! Haha it was fun but I'm so so so tired.

PM: 3 with Herschel after work, I was going to go alone but Herschel came into the store and said he'd run with me so shout-out to him

12 miles with Chuck and Mike this morning. I took a good dose of iron last night and I guess I really needed it because I felt better than I have in such a VERY long time. Averaged 6:39 with a 6:07 last mile. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.

Also, this was my first ever 50 mile week and I'm feeling good!
