7/24
18 miles

Flew back from Fargo today. Super tired. Took a 3 hour nap before my run. 1st 13 miles were in the pouring rain. Very wet, so I decided to dry off and run the last 5 on my treadmill. Progressed down to 5:52 pace. Run was easy, but I'm just exhausted from the trip. Glad to get it done though.

7/23
10 miles (6am/4pm)

Both runs at recovery pace. Felt really good on both. Kept it easy, but the day off on thursday must of helped.


7/22
13 miles

85 degrees out, but way less humidity. I actually felt pretty good.

7/21
Off

I drove to Bemidji today to see family. Wanted to run an easy recovery run, but I didn't have the time.

7/20
12 miles

90 degree heat and a heat index of 100. Ran at noon and struggled toward the end.

7/19
10 miles w/ 5 @ Tempo

Found an athletic club in Fargo that only charged me $5.

3 mile warm-up
5 miles of straight tempo (5:46, 5:46, 5:39, 5:33, 5:27)
2 mile cool down

Tempo was way easy. Could've gone forever, but wanted to be conservative. Still warm in the club, I was soaked and sweat was everywhere. Spent 5 minutes cleaning up the sweat afterwards.

7/18
6 miles

92 degrees and very muggy. Tried to keep it at recovery pace
