10 miles hilly.  I felt pretty bad on this run. It's hilly but my legs were heavy and I was really tired.  I think since I've done two back to back heavy days, I need to recover.  I didn't get the chance to do drills and strides because I feel so wiped.  Also, humid as all hell...70 dewpoint...shorts are beyond soaked and dripping wet.

AM: 1 mi WU   7x1100m hill circuits   3 mi CD.

Ouch!  This one hurt.  My legs are tired and this hill workout got me.  Very tired, the dew points have been horrendous lately. 71 degress! Yuck! Sweat simply does not evaporate and it's very hard to stay cool and I get really tired.

PM: 30 min pool run then 30 minutes easy in the rain. went to go to the pool with my favorite pool friend and they kicked us out after 30 min. due to a thunderstorm so we just went running with some of our teammates who happened to be outside.

Awesome weather, low humidity. my 890s wear out fast. They didn't feel very good on the run. I need to invest in a more durable shoe.  May get the Saucony ride for like 55 bucks at 6pm.com

I actually ran a race today and my legs felt great.  First mile was fast but I felt like I had so much energy and I was getting excited about the night...but then a side stitch.  I didn't panic and breathed through it. but then another stitch, then another and I had to slow down.  Each time I sped up yet another cramp attacked me. I was running slow as f#ck getting passed by people and unable to respond.  I am so freaking pissed.  You see I give up a lot of things to pursue running as a hobby and when a race like this happens it makes you question why the f*ck you even bother.  I know I shouldn't let it bother me but it does. I'm a little sad sitting alone typing this at 12:26 when I could be out with friends and drinking beer but ran a race instead.

These cramps are unexplainable but happen every now and then.  a good 12 miler tomorrow should fix me right up though.
