I ran the Boston loop from my house and added another 2 miles at the end. Need to start getting my long run longer again. Was pretty tired the last 2 miles. I ran about 6:45 pace.

Off- Traveled back to Alaska

7/31
10 miles (4 miles @ tempo)

I did a 3 mile easy warm-up and then ran 4 straight miles @ tempo pace. Felt pretty good and relaxed. I averaged about 5:55 pace for the 4 miles. Then ran the last 3 miles easy at about 7min. pace. Good workout and nice to run a little fast for a change.

5+ miles

Another easy run from mom's

7/29
5+ miles

Easy run from my mom's

7/28
16 miles (Ran around Lake Bemidji- 6:50 pace)

I always like to run around the lake when I'm back in Bemidji. I always think about my child hood growing up when I use to think that biking around the lake was such a big deal. I know that my running isn't going very good because I was hurting the last 4-5 miles of the run. Didn't bring enough water or any gel. I just haven't been running enough. Lots of reasons. 1. Being sick lately 2. Pain in both feet 3. Busy with summer school and wrestling all summer 4. A little mentally drained. I hope I can get things turned around a little for the last couple months of the running season before wrestling begins.

7/27
10 miles

Ran from my mom's house in Bemidji. Ran to Northern Liquor store and back. Nice to run on Birchmont drive.
