Sat. morning with TREX. Small group started at 6:00 on the roads at a relatively chippy pace. Back just before 7:00 to meet a fairly large group for trails. But a little way's in, I just didn't feel like messing with mud running. Plus, a shitty night's sleep left me feeling pretty tired, so I cut things short.
Hermann-Rice long. Felt decent, although the legs didn't have quite the pop of the last couple days. Likely only do something short tomorrow so I can make it to my root canal on time. Yay.
Hermann-Rice short. So wanted to stay in bed this morning after thunderstorms woke me up around 3:00 a.m. But dragged my ass out to a very wet track - the MacGregor tunnel was under about 4 feet of water, so a bit of working around was necessary. Once the legs woke up, everything felt very good.
Hermann-Rice short. Felt really good from the get-go, which often means problems later. And, while the second half of the run was definitely a bit of a grind in the heat, things didn't fall apart.

Late-morning in the Ho. Ran most of the middle trails (e.g. Yellow, Orange, Roller Coaster...) on a very warm morning. Threw in plenty of short walk breaks to manage the heat. Legs felt good.
