I met up with Sara Slattery old friend and fast lady. She has a lifetime track 5k PR of 15:17 (4th in 2008 Olympic Trials) just blazing. She also is a AZ HS running legend who still holds the State Mile and 2 mile record. It was good catching up and chatting about life. We averaged 6:55 pace! I am going to have her come during the fall and speak to my kids about running. Overall, good run!

Been feeling my mid-upper back and could barely tolerate walking today. Taking the next couple days off. Need to rest the back!

Decided to test out my back, feeling better so took it easy for the 45 minutes. Will try running another 45-60 minutes this evening. Had first day of State Champs for my team and overall they did good, competed well, responded in critical situations and majority of them ran PR's.

Decided that I needed to get on the track and do some work. So did 3x1 mile at 5:04/5:01/5:01 with 3 min active recovery. The 2nd and 3rd mile hurt but felt good to go hard since it has been a couple of weeks since I have worked out. After my last mile rep I did 4x200 meters at 32 seconds with 1 min recovery between them. Overall, positive is my back feels good now.

After end of the year track banquet, stopped by Western Canal for an easy run. After about 4 miles I decided to pick up the pace. Ran miles 4-5 at 5:19 and then jogged a 6:40 mile then mile 6-7 ran 5:08 mile. It really felt good to get my legs turning, and then jogged back the last mile under 7 min pace. I really have no races planned at all. Unfortunately my coaching duties have kept me real busy and racing this whole entire year hasn't been a priority. Hopefully I can find a race to train for so my workouts will have purpose. As of right now and with the heat rising here in AZ I am happy just to run and throw in hard running here and there!

2.5 up and then did 4 mile lactate threshold off of where I think I am at (85-88% effort). A bit windy out as well, my splits were 5:37/5:30/5:31/5:23 the last quarter of my last mile I picked up do 5 flat pace so that was more VO2 effort. Then I did a cool-down of 2.5 miles back to my house. Overall, just feel like mentally I am not clicking but with the weather change that is probably why....

Ran from Granada Park, made a left at 40st off the Biltmore canal and went up a gradual mile climb then flipped back. Warm out the last couple miles!
