July Catch Up Part II - 7/22 - 7/26

7/22 - I didn't sleep on Sunday night so I skipped the Gazelle workout. This morning I met my group along with one of my co-workers from the Bay area. We met at the Rock at 6AM and did the 7 mile loop. I hit the gym on the way home and did my weight routine, ab work, and stretched.

7/23 - 800 Repeats at AHS - we met for 800s at AHS today. Bernard said to do 4-8 so I chose to do 6. I wanted to do in the 3:20-3:30 range to get a feel for where I am. I started out slow and finished really strong. I was happy with the workout.

7/24 - Medium Run with Wish - We woke up today with some rain and cloud cover from hurricane Dolly. Wish and I took advantage of it and got back to our 8 mile route. My legs were a little sluggish, but once I got going I felt good.

7/26 - Grove LSR - Today we met to do the Grove Loop. It's not my favorite run, but it was perfect for today. It was really humid since we had all that rain on Thursday and really warm. My stomach held together this morning which was a plus and I finished strong.
