15 mile long run. Signed up for the annual Sunflower State games 5k with my boys which takes place in the neighborhoods around a nearby lake. So I got to the lake early and warmed up for 10 miles @ 6:40 pace before swapping shoes and running the 5k @ 6:20 pace. Got back and reswapped shoes for a 2 mile "cooldown" ending of my long run. Got some cinnamon roll french toast afterwards.

3 mile warmup into two sets of 3x3min up tempo, 3min run. Tempo segments were progressively faster and rest runs were @ 6:50 pace. It felt good but it the humidity was real. Cooled down to 10 miles.

Long Run: a 17-mile trek at 7:01 pace loaded with hills and uncomfortable weather. Felt pretty good but need to hydrate more. The hills slowed pace from my usual long run pace.

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 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.

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).

3 miles of warmup. Workout was a fartlek of 2 sets of 4x(3min on, 3min easy running). Paces were good and it was a blast because it rained the whole time. 3 miles of cool down.

3 miles of warmup. 5 mile tempo starting in 5:32 and ending in 5:32. The 3 miles between were also ~5:32 so 5:32 average pace. 3 miles of cooldown but not at 5:32.

Race: 2016 Blue Jeans Mile (1 Miles) 00:04:37, Place overall: 2

AM: 14 mile long run @ 6:57 with Thomas.

PM: .5 mile warmup. The 2016 Blue Jeans Meet kicked off at 8:30, starting with the men's mile. I started off in 4th behind Pierce, Michael and Simon. Came through 200 @ 35 and as Pierce started to move up I followed. I came through the first lap in 69/70 and 800 in 2:21. From there I started reeling in Pierce (who had like a 5m lead). 1200 in 3:32. At the bell/cap gun I floored it and moved around Pierce to take the lead. As I passed him at the 300 mark he floored it as well and we battled for the lead for the next 100. For the last curve he dropped back a little and I made a huge surge, knowing that he has a nasty kick (which he always does). With 80m to go I heard him start making his move and as he reached me I gave it everything I had, managing to hold on for 30m before he pulled away and snagged the victory, running 4:36 to my 4:37. I was pretty pumped about breaking 4:40 for the Blue Jeans Mile b/c that's been one of my short term goals for a while. I also made the finals in the 9m dash and my relay team won the 4x9m. After the award ceremony I cooled down .5.

6 miles. Only got 2 done in the morning because a massive storm rolled in and the lightning was too close for a few hours. Ran the remaining 4 later.
