Ran around Mantua Res with Jaren.  It was freezing cold and raining good, probably 40 degrees, which is crazy for June 20 when it was 98 degrees 3 days ago.  Hands were the coldest thing!  Pretty run, too bad it was so cold.  We added another mile while we were waiting for my wofe and mother in law.  7:25 ave

AM- 2 easy miles at practice, 7:55 ave

PM- warmed up with Jaren, it was hot out.  8:27 

Ran the Herriman Yeti 5k which started at Butterfield Park and looped back.  It was hot and mybody wasn't liking me, especially my left hamstring.  I started off slow and then started to pick it up in the middle.  When I hit the trail going to Mirabella my left hammy started pulling, and it hurt.  I kept going for a bit, but it got worse, so I slowed down.  I even thought if it got worse that I would just bail, not worth it to get hurt.  Ran in with my girls at 19:50.  Hammy is very stiff and tnder now.  Cooled down after with Aubrie and Lucy.  They ran well and so did the kids.  Jaren was 2nd overall and got a snow cone machine. was 9:23

Hamstring is still hurt and tight, and achilles was very tight, this is on the left side opposite of the knee.  I didn't even know if I could run today.  Went out very slow and kept it very slow.  Achilles got a bit better and the hamstring stayed tight, but I managed it.  Need to get healthy so I can push.  7:56 ave with the last mile my best in 6:38

New Bostons were good.

Went out for 10.5 this morning, solo.  My achilles was so tight this morning!  I put a heating pad on it for 10 minutes before running and it still took over a mile before it quit hurting.  This run was slower, but still hammered me.  Ended up running 10.5 instead of 10, and was glad to get this one done.  7:22 ave.

Hammy bugged a little at times, but I kept it under control.  The knee is getting better.  My achilles is really sore now though, and swollen.
