Treading water

The title of this post was of course appropriate on todays run. As I was drenched as always :-/ on a 35 minute easy run(with approx 5 stops) that was with the high level jv group. Last week was ok 28 miles obv not enough Im just trying to maybe stay in the 30s and 40s for the time being idk. AT least try to stay consistent.

My knee is fair and my quad is hm certainly not awful. Im worried about it a bit idk if its a stress reaction or just a sore muscle ive never had quite this soreness before. Plus now my ankle is swollen lol from some sort of bite I believe idk. Many of these ache and pains I wouldnt even have thought about at some point in the past but now im more of a baby perhaps. Also running 2-3 months a year doesnt help obv.

Anyway did a hill wo at mcd on Tuesday- it was pretty good- 3xpasture,3xgravel,3xcorcoran then 3x200 I didnt do the downhill sanborns to save my knee. I ran behind Will and Charlie with the two kids Alexi and Isiah- a good positive group. It would actually be fun to race them with Franklin they would prob get 1-2 but then we would have a ton of people potentially in front of will or charlie.

Team doing well the tempo was pretty solid 2x1.5 on 800 loop yesterday. Of course I finally got the notebook today(I had bought one earlier on time but it was wide ruled- blech!) and it took me 10 days to get another one lol- so not much has been recorded over the first 10+ days ugh. The main issue is to get Joseph going which will hopefully not be too difficult it should be ok hopefully. JV boys are looking ok Deron doing good and Jake is trying to get started and there is a new guy Dan from Reservoir who will be good. Girls are doing better than ever Mckenzie getting back into it pretty quickly then Mackenzie and Emily D are both going to be pretty good as expected and Briana is good just dont have her run too much first season. Jari finally showed up today and jogged 3 miles with Iulia and Emily this is apparently her recovery week.

Approx mile paces from yesterday(as I said 2x1.5 on 800 loop- rest still a little long but with 9 minute segements not as big of a deal)
Hunter 6:05
Dylan 6:20
Seon 6:20
Eli     6:30
Louie 6:30
Sean  6:40-45?
Tristan- achilles sore from shoes(I believe he did 1 mile in 630ish)
Joseph - 3 mile jog

Mckenzie 655/735
Mackenzie low 8s- she didnt feel good
Briana 8s and one 16 in 745ish
Emily - ran with Mackenzie on second half of wo- continue this def

Tomorrow will prob be screwed up since Franklin now gets off school every time its sunny. Im supposed to go to mcd at 830 so have to play it by ear. Its a long workout which is fine. Hopefully theyll give some warning about the school.
