From Upper Schuylkill Country Park, to home, 1-way, with Angelica.
2.5km bonus in MontClare where the river side of Canal trail was quite flooded and we back-tracked, plus a 0.6km bonus to get water midroute.
It was pretty hot, but there were 3 well located water stops,and Angelica moved quite well for the first 10mi/90min. Then she faded rather abruptly (~5:30 -> 7:00/km in 2km...) She then surged quite a bit in mile 12 on 252 toward the 3rd drinking fountain, moving at 4:45/km pace for several minutes. Not sure where than came from, but it was pretty solid work - faster than I wanted to go at that point. Once I announced she'd hit a half marathon, she walked it in.
Overall, this was a very solid 10+/hr training week, and I've been rather tired to show for it. Hopefully I'll recover enough during the next (6hr) week to keep going...

Misery and Joy incl. through the new VF park Wash. HQ area - officially opened @ 8am today. My soak-head-in-cold-water in the brand new bathroom probably more than doubled the amount of mess that sink area had ever seen (in it's 5 hour life...)

2nd run of the day. Warmup/down for tempo run of controls 5-19 of VF marathon. Beat Ross's day-of-marathon time for these controls by 6 seconds. Was 1 minute ahead halfway, but heat exhaustion and an overgrown trail tore that lead to pieces at the 2nd half.
Moderate migraine for many hours...

Inside back of my shoes (along lower Achilles) is wearing out in both shoes. Pretty early. Note sure why.
I'm getting pretty exhausted from this 10 hour week, sleeping plenty, caffienating, but still sleepy.

6x400 - various guys took the lead today as we fought each other along. A fun session. Steve, Doug, Keith, Laszlo... Newish really tall guy (not Doug) who normally runs near the back of the pack (~80-85) pulled off a 72 when we sent him out with instruction to lead. 70 was my turn to lead (Doug pushed past me at the end.)
79, 74, 78, 70, 77, 75
Worried about the hamstring, and while it's a little touchier, it's not bad considering I just did 400's again...
