get that hardhat on

7 miles easy.

AM: 3 miles of warmup into 6x 2min uphill tempo, jog down. The hill I was running was a steady, manageable incline for the first 1:30 of each rep but turned into a 50 degree deathtrap from there. Cooled down to 10.

PM: First day of being a camp counselor at one of the city's high school's XC Camp. Drove out there after my run and hung out with the campers before running 5 miles with them (and doing drills).

Woke up and left for a 13 mile run but as I finished my first of two planned loops I decided to break it into a double run because I was feeling extremely tired. At camp yesterday we had a full day of activities and were in the blazing sun for 8 hours and I guess it took its toll. Finished with 8.

PM: Finished the 5 needed and did strides. Got in plenty of other activity while at camp.

AM: 8 with Tom on Shunga

PM: 4 at camp

AM: 8 miles steady state @ 6:15. First 4 went good but I had a huge stomach ache. At 6 I had to stop in a local establishment and solve the problem. I was out of the groove and I was feeling tired so my next two were 6:45 pace.

PM: On the last day of camp the campers do a 3 mile race. I wasn't planning on taking part in it but b/c my morning run should've been better I figured I'd easily tempo the run (plus it was shortened to 2 miles which was perfect). I ran 10:46 which wasn't taxing but did make me feel a little more at ease with myself. Also, I didn't bring my shoes so I just borrowed some that were, luckily, in my size.

8 easy with Tom

16 mile long run with Tom starting from the school, looping around Burlingame to 29th St, and heading back down Fairlawn (after cruising down Shunga for a mile).
