Had a recitation at 8:40 this morning, so no morning run. Did this workout with the Rutgers team, specifically Brandon, the Bens, and Nick. It was a pretty tough workout, especially because of the heat, and most of the guys doing it had done a 6-mile tempo and some hills the day before. I felt okay. I started with Brandon after Nick and Ben Horel had done one interval and thought about doing seven and stopping with them, but decided to do one more since Ben Forrest had two more after that.

AM: 9.25 miles (63 min) (6:00/pace) Johnson into Busch into Livingston Went through the Eco. I felt good and it was a nice morning. Saw Coach Mike and some of the team when at Landing Lane - they were finishing a tempo run. Coach Mike told me I should come to practices and said they were doing 800s tomorrow, so I think I will hit that up.
PM: 4 miles Johnson Park Forgot how tiring a normal 13 mile day is.

3-mile race: 15:42, 13th overall
2-mile cool down
Went out with the lead pack through the mile in a bout 5:02, but was feeling fantastic and fell off in the second mile; slowed down a lot and ran like a 5:17. I was basically on my own until Bails passed me at the end. I didn't feel as good as I was hoping and while this wasn't a terrible race, I was hoping to run faster. I ran about the same time as last year, so it's not a bad start to the season. I think running so early in the morning hurt me, and I think the stress of the beginning of the week, which kept me from doing a workout this week, was a big detriment.
PM: 7 miles Tempo 2.25-mile warm-up
4-mile tempo
0.75-mile cool down
Ran a tempo with Neil and Golden, pretty relaxed, about 6:30 pace. We jogged out to Tempo Loop and did that, then Golden and I jogged back to Jossi's. I felt pretty good.
