Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Last time I ran I couldn't find many bats.  I was worried that they weren't going to come around any longer. 

This morning SlowJoe joined us and the bats came out in force.  Coincidence?  We may never know.

8:32 pace

93F, 20% hum, 3.5 mph winds, clear with bats

Pooltime.  Whoever came up with leapfrogs in the pool is responsible for me throwing up.

Date with Angie lasted 18:38.  She made me throw up too.

Ruck 50 lbs. by my lonesome.  Without Antonio to catch up with, I set the pace to 18:56 for myself.  And I appreciated it.  I love me.

90F, 22% hum, 3.5 mph winds, clear

Pool.  Oxygen deprivation.

1800

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of 95 lb front squats, 20 knee to chest jumps and handstand pushups. 6 + 10 squats with only mild profanity.

114F, 9% hum, 2.3 mph winds, hazy

Hill work with Joe and Antonio.

Good company, despite the sandbagging.

Why were you saving it for later Joe?  Savings aren't necessary for hillwork.  We're not clipping coupons for groceries.

Joe and I, like normal people, ran a cooldown mile afterwards.  Antonio, on the other hand, went off to do unit PT.

10 x 200m.  Slowest/fastest pace, 5:46/5:02, respectively.  5:26 Average.

I was shooting for a sub 21.  The effort was there the time was not.  Ran into Joe.  Figuratively. 

86F, 27% hum, 2.3 mph winds, smelled smoky and looked hazy

Underwaters and treading with waterbottles

Tire flips, box jump and pushups.  Oh my!

I got to the race a little early and wondered why they weren't set up yet.  Turns out I forgot they were starting at a different place, so I had an involuntary warmup and an involuntary cooldown session. 

I was determined to run a sub-7 minute pace, but they decided to throw in a hill.  It was only 1/5 of a mile, but it was enough to slow me down.  Oh well.

86 F felt suprisingly cool, 20-29% hum, calm winds, nice and clear

1200

Leapfrogs and underwaters at the pool.
