AM:  Met Matt and Mike @Matt's house.  Easy 10 around the Turkey Point Loop.  Crazy winds from all sides today.  Enjoyed the push.  Conversation was fantastic as normal. 

Really fun time after the morning run meeting up with some families and friends that were all doing the 10k/5k today in AF.  Fun seeing these kids push through pain and honest course to accomplish their goals.  Started out with Matt's oldest Ryan who did awesome.  At the half way point dropped back to run with Mike and Ezra.  Kid is only 7 and had eye of the tiger.  At about 2.5 I went back to look for Brandon and his son Lincoln.  Lincoln was happy go lucky and had an awesome couple of surges to PR.  I think every kid got a personal best.  I went with Carina and Rachelle to get her sister who was running the 10K.  She beat her goal time by 3 minutes.  It was really cool to see people starting their running careers today or trying to get a PR.  Really fun to able to help others that want it to get better.  Enjoyed visiting with the guys families.  Great people... another easy 5 miles

AM:  Met @Scott's house this morning.  Had Matt, Scott, Reed and Mike on the run.  Tough group when these guys have eye of the tiger mode in them.  I knew going into this morning that I wanted to do some leg turnover.  I don't know if I can call it tempo but I wanted to get in 2-3 miles of it during the run.  During the WU I could feel what I thought was all four adductor areas.  I know my adductor magnus is tendor but now I can tell the IIiacus is bad also.  Makes sense with everything I have done the last few weeks.  My body is just trying to overcompensate for faster paces and speeds that I am doing.  I definitely felt depleted at the 4 mile mark but decided I needed to suck it up and not wuss out.  Felt gassed after a mile slowed down for about .15 miles and the gradually picked up again.  I felt better and then heard who was Reed coming up from behind and glad he came up on me.  It forced me to mentally to get back in pace mode.  I stayed about 10 secs behind him through mile 2.  At about 2.3 the rest of the pack came flying by.  At 2.5 miles my legs were done(splits for "tempo" 5:47., 5:55, 6:22) I didn't do what I wanted to do for this part of the workout so then I made sure I stayed under 7 min pace for the rest of the run which felt a little tough.  Good run just wish I was a little stronger on this run today.  A little discouraging but build from here.  Another gorgeous morning...

AM:  Easy miles with Scott, Mike and Matt on the JRT.  Really cool mist and wildlife out this morning.  Kind of an Avatar feeling along that trail sometimes.  Great conversation again.  Really trying to make my MP become my recovery and easy runs now.  Feeling stronger...

Weights: Back...

 

Lunch:  some laps around orem soccer fields with Jake.  Very easy junk miles.  Cool to get to know Jake better and at the end ran into Jody.  Got to catch up and do my last lap with him...(4.79mi 8:10 ap)

Heavy Day...No excuses but I am really just pissed off.  I missed a really great LR/Tempo.  I dropped the ball.  I know one day or workout cannot affect your total performance but I have committed more than ever to better my training.  Clearly a very emotional weekend for me.  I will get through this and move on.  Still excited for my body to heal and be ready to go for broke.  Started my workout at 82 degrees.  Bad move.  I knew early that I was not going to get in what I had planned.  Not enough mental toughness, energy and time.  I decided to just so good pickups in the time I had.  Legs feel really responsive.  Did some good fartlek during this run.  Had a stretch where I did a .5 mile @5:15 pace which is speedy for me right now.  Time to take the rest of the weekend and relax and then get back at it Monday morning.  Ok enough soapbox from me.  Really excited for the field @ UV.  Man I wish I was here for this.
