W/ dawg, he got after a big buck and I didn't see him for quite a while, felt alright but my chest is funky and then it started raining pretty hard so we headed in. I had definite ambitions of getting back out but Asher ended up messing up his foot which freaked out Jenny and she got some news back from a blood test that indicated she had abnormally high iron levels?? So she was stressed out which meant I got to be the one to go buy her chocolate and cook dinner and try to chill everybody out. I racked my latest batch of beer which may have been my only win for the day. I don't really understand how married guys make their training work while still playing a supportive role. If you stop and think, the window of opportunity is gone, my motivation also gets exponentially worse as I stray from my workout intentions. It goes from a 15 mile easy Monday double, fartlek Tuesday, wednesday medium long run>> short ass run 2 days strait, junk food, and still feeling lethargic

8 miles in pm, felt pretty shitty after the last few days, warm and stuffy Asher was diving in every stagnant puddle he could find, met to go again but had to drive to Tulsa and then Jenny's flight was delayed so evening was a wash

Dos horas on dirt in the pm, ran past a couple OSU distance kids and after I waived and said hey and got no response, I kind of repeated myself and called them out for not even attempting to be cordial

Ran the inaugural OKC 25k , 5 miles in 26:30 or so, then chilled and ran the next 9+ miles at more like marathon effort. Didn't feel particularly great up at 4am and that doesn't tend to bode well sometimes. Didn't give myself any real assignment for the day, felt so so all week I suppose.
