5 easy miles around the golf course and down by my house. Went really slow. Felt good to recover from the race. 7:43 average. Iced and rolled out with the addaday roller I got at Salt Lake Running. If you haven't gotten one, you should it works wonderfully!!!

AM- Mile warmup and dynamics. Then me Eugene, Clayton, and Kedric set out for the 7 mile loop on Vernal Avenue. Started out at about 7:30 pace then dropped it down quite a bit. Lost Clayton a little less than half way then Kedric kept the pace steady for him, and Eugene and I kept surging off each other. So we lost Kedric about 4 miles in. We were trying to catch the girls. Who set out for 5 or 6 miles. Caught them and the me and Eigene kept playing dirty surges with each other haha. Finally when we got to the end of the canal Eugenewent on the canal road and got ahead of me. By then I was tired of surging and gave in. Average pace was right around 6:42. 

PM- 3,5 shakeout when I got home. Didn't feel so good cause my blood sugar has been running high lately. Especially in the mornings. Hopefully it will calm down some. Average pace 6:43

 AM- Went out on the Brush Creek Trail Road for an easy 7 miles. It was really nice weather. I felt good except my blood sugar has been really bad still, gonna have to change some things with my insulin and diet. I hope that it will be good for the race on Saturday. 

PM- Shakeout run for the afternoon. My watch has been wrong for a long time so I just go off of the route, because I know most of the distances that I run. Tried to keep it slow. With 4- 1 minute pickups on about each mile. Average pace was just under 6.

Didn't go to practice this morning felt really tired and I had a bad headache. I had a fever last night. So that could explain the high blood sugars. Slept in till 9, which helped and I felt better when I woke up. Might do an easy short run tonight when it is cool but I decided to test this morning.

PM- Easy 5 miles down to Naples area and back. Didn't feel too bad, but still took it slow. Average pace just under 7:30. Gonna try to stay really hydrated throughout the rest of this week. For the race on Saturday.

RACE DAY

Had to wake up at 4 am cause the race started at 6 and I wanted to be ready to go. It was pretty hot. Like 75 most of the race, but a good overcast. Warmed up about a mile with several strides and dynamics. Got to the line and there were about 300 to 350 people in the race. It didn't look too competitive. I thought it was possible I could take the win on this one. The race was off. From the start it was me and this other guy. Who looked pretty competitive. First mile 5:53. A little fast but nothing crazy. 2 mile 11:54. Keeping the pace steady. Mile 3 came in about 17:51. Still ahead of goal pace but nothing crazy. I led for about 4 miles then my legs really started to cramp up on me. I've been quite dehydrated lately and I should have prepared for it better but oh well the past is the past. The guy started to get a bigger lead on me and I knew I probably wouldn't catch him. So I just tried to set it on cruise from there some races just aren't as good as others. It was hot, my shoe lace came untied, thoughts things happen its part of the process. Sverage pace was 6:21. Just never give up!!!! #CherokeeNation#TooBlessedToBeStressed
