 I had a dream last night that I got up and ran today and I was so mad because I really like taking sundays off guilt free.  And now I would have to wait another week for sunday to come around.  I was relieved when I woke up and it was still sunday and I hadn't ran.

This week starts another 3 week building cycle before another recovery week.  I am still not sure if I am going to race on the 4th or not.  I want to but I don't think my husband wants me to so we will see.  Plan on 65-70 miles this week, sprinkled with lots of stretching.

Got up early and ran the Temple loop with an add on in the middle.  Felt good was able to push the uphills and it felt pretty easy.  Hill tempos are paying off.

Didn't get to meet with anyone this morning because I had to be home at 5:50am:(  So I got up super duper early and ran by myself.  Wanted to do 3*1 miles so I did a 2 miles warmup (wasn't enough) and started 1-6:39 mostly flat with a short steep downhill in the middle.  Legs just felt trashed.  2-6:19 Had to work really hard, to hard.  Starts downhill and then has some up and then down ending on flat.  Didn't want to do the last one but I did.  3-6:40 ug! starts flat with a steep short down and then flat.  I hate doing speed by myself on 5 hours of sleep,  legs feeling trashed, and in the dark, but I did it and I am done.  Now I just hope the legs freshen up for racing on friday:)

Got up and met with Sasha this moring.  We ran easy, which is what I needed just a nice recovery run.   Nothing to exciting just lots of bug to choke on.

Pm another 3, 2 barefoot on the grass one on the road.  I took my sister, dog, son and daughter with me.  This was interesting.  On the way home we did a mile loop on the road, my son was on his scooter.  He fell just before we got home and scraped his knee.  He just informed me he thinks he will still be able to walk.  I also wanted to test out to see how fast my daugters electric wheelchair goes so we went down the street to test it on speed 4, it has 5 speeds,  I clocked her going 6:58 and was to tired to go any faster.  This surprised me because her old wheelchair only went around a 10 min mile.  She did not want to test out the top speed.

Got up early again and did an out and back form my house.  Ran super easy with no watch.  Then I took my kiddies to the hot air ballons, one of my favorite 4th of July traditions.

Happy 4th of July, this is my favorite holiday.  But I know remeber why I stopped doing this race many years ago.  It is a crappy race-uphill start and uphill finish and then you get to weave your way through all the 5k walkers and strollers.  As you can tell I didn't have a very great race.  But they all can't be great, can they!  Started the race by getting stopped up by a baracade they must have forgotten to move, I didn't see it because of all the people and ran into the guys in front of me.  Then you turn up 9th east for the killer uphill.  This last for about a mile or so then you have some good down.  Then you turn onto unv. ave. for some flat miles then on the center for some more uphill all the way to the end about the last 2 miles.  I gave up here, to many people to weave through.  I know excuses excuses... I am mad I wasn't more in the game.

Met with Michelle and the SF group at Bishop and ran super easy on the fun lovey roads out there.  Nice run, not sore just tired.  Not really much more to say.
