Snow in May. Thunderstorms all day long, with loud lightning. The electricity at school was going in and out around lunchtime. Turned to snow and hail by the end of the day. With the 25 mph winds it was miserable. Andrew Chipps challenged me to a 2 mile race at 4:30, but unsurprisingly he did not show up. The track was too wet to run on, anyway, so I ran out to the road. Made it out about 10 minutes on Craven Road before it become pure mud, so I turned back and did some more loops around teacher housing. Tomorrow will be worse, as it will keep snowing/raining for a while yet.

It was damn nasty out today so I was going to take the day off. But then I looked up from some work and it had cleared up a ton out. Headed out at 3. Decided to head down to the Butte Road, because that usually holds up better under moisture. Only problem: that is a perfectly straight out-and-back, due south and then due north. And the wind was coming fairly strong out of the north. Two miles straight into it wasn't too pleasant, which kept me from doing another mile or so today.

Summary:
Went out first thing in the morning in Yankton. It was sort of cold and 22 mph winds coming out of the NW. I was going to run down to the river, but that would've required coming all the way back into the wind (again), so I decided to just head north and west as far as I could. Went around the edge of a golf course, through a Wal-Mart Parking lot, and then onto a weird campus of municipal buildings. That was nice enough for running. Eventually it turned into somewhat soggy dirt roads around some abandoned looking barns. Then it just turned into fallow fields. Turned around there and came back a slightly different way through the campus.

Nice day again, in the 60s, and the roads dried back up. Got in the 6 I needed to hit my 30 miles this week. Didn't time it, as I was going slow and felt a bit crappy. Tired and did not feel smooth at all. Next week: 31 - 33 miles. Might bump it up to 7 days, which would make those numbers a lot easier.

Still warm today. Thunderstorms for the rest of the week, it looks like. No country kids at school today because apparently it was more important to use the buses for elementary school students. Also the school is broke so I might not get paid through the summer. Lovely. Run felt smoother today. Still sort of tired. Hoping I come around to consistent running soon.

Summary:
No thunderstorms but it was overcast after school, cooler than the past two days. Went out to the trails. Kathy was walking Maddie on the track and Jim, like usual, was not tied up, so he ended up following me. Every so often he would stop to chase some scent and then sprint back up with me. About a mile from the track I thought he was coming up on me again but then Maddie came tearing past me. So now I had a crew of dogs to run with. Maddie kept trying to go off in the wrong direction and Jim would follow for a while and then lead her back. Having the dogs kept me going at a faster pace. Only problem: about a half mile from the track Maddie went to chase after some pheasants and never made it back to me. Hopefully she finds her way home.

Summary:
Jim was sitting on our stoop when I left the house so he ran the whole thing with me. He does a better job of staying focused when Maddie is not leading him astray. Nicer day today. On the way back I saw Luke on top of the hill by the track, but I was still probably a quarter mile back with less than a mile to go. Jim tried to chase him for a little while before waiting for me. Came back behind the middle school. Today a student was taken from school in cuffs after a fight. Then he kicked out the window of the police car and took off. Our principal found him by the housing on the other side of the trails trying to make it over some fencing. He then cut a deal that he'd take off the cuffs if the kid would take off. After the cuffs were off, the kid ran. I figured he might still be somewhere on the trails but didn't see him.

Went out in the morning in He Dog before heading up to Pierre for TFA Prom. It was cold, rainy, and windy. The last couple hundred meters before I turned around I was going up a hill straight into the wind, it was miserable. Ran through a funeral, too, and I didn't realize what was going on until my second pass by, on the way back. Stopped to walk for a little bit there. On the way up to Pierre it started to snow a little bit, meaning it has snowed every weekend since mid-April.

Took the kids to Iron Man today. They gave us popcorn at the movie and at 1 we went to Pizza Hut for lunch. Still pretty full when I went out to run. Overcast and in the 50s. It is supposed to rain all week but it hadn't started yet. Pretty windy all the way out. Planned on doing 10 but I got out past the "No Road Maintenance" sign and didn't feel like turning around. Felt great on the way back. Probably good to get the mileage in. I have various social engagements after school all week and the roads will probably get muddy anyway.

Cool and cloudy again, still not much rain. I went short today because Luke and I were considering going down to Zickrick's ranch to shoot guns and I wasn't sure when Luke would get back from his dentist's appointment in Rapid. He didn't get back by 5, but literally as soon as I walked in the door Zickrick called, so I decided to go down alone. As for the run, went slower than yesterday. Didn't feel lose but also didn't feel terrible.

We walked to Eagle Nest Butte this morning during school--four miles or so. After we got school was absolute chaos, with no attempt to control students at all (they were dumping water all over one another in the hallway). I was pretty pissed at our principal for that so I had some fury to burn on this run. Planned on going longer to knock off some mileage, because the rest of the week is heavily scheduled with birthday and end-of-year celebrations. Felt much less tired than yesterday, despite walking all morning.

Got back from camping at 1, went to graduation at 2, and then stayed at school for my institute conference call, so I got home again at 7. Went out for my run then. It had been really hot in the afternoon so thankfully it had cooled off a bit. Really nice evening with the sun setting. Smells like sweetgrass and summer. Felt perfect. Would've gone farther but I want to keep with my progression. Next week: 37 to 40 miles. I might be doing a 4-day bike trip starting on Friday which would force me to revise my goal.

Had a grudge match mile versus a student this morning. I ran 5:31. He was at 6:30 through 3 laps before dropping out. Minimal warm-up. Immediately afterwards we had the 100m dash.

After the mile I did three more springs (100, 40, 4x100 leg) and two feeble attempts at throws (discus and shot), followed by three 10 minutes of intense student-staff basketball (we won that, too). By the end of the day my legs were shot. I was planning on doing 10 miles today but that wouldn't have been a good idea. 7 miles wasn't really a good idea, either. I was sore the whole way, tried to go slow, but I was also in somewhat of a hurry to get back because Luke and Laura and I were going to go horseback riding with the Slades. Also the hottest day we've had yet. Upper 80s I'd guess. Absolutely exhausted now, legs are stiff.

50 degrees out, 30mph winds, 38mph gusts, spitting rain and hail. The wind was straight east, so I was planning on doing an out-and-back that goes mostly north-south but the trail by Lakota Fund that I used to use to cut over to the Butte Road was so grown over as to be invisible. Ended up just looping around the trails, which required a more substantial portion directly into the wind than I was hoping for. Went shorter than I was thinking about, but I'm keeping up on mileage fine. Another sort of sad run, Luke and Laura were packing up the car when I left and were gone by the time I was finished.

Rained a bunch last night. Tried to go out on the road but after a little over a mile it was a mud pit from shoulder to shoulder, boxed in by foot-and-a-half high grass. Came back and jumped on the trail behind the middle school but that wasn't much better. Decided not to go out on the trails. Achilles hurt again. Iced afterwards. I'm probably due for an off week but I want to put it off until I get to Houston next week--where I will have to get used to running on all pavement in the heat and humidity while working 12+ hour days. Hopefully I will hold up for a few more days. I was planning on doing a 12 mile run today or tomorrow but if it stays this muddy that will be hopeless. I have to go to the doctor on Thursday so hopefully I'll be able to pick up some new shoes and do the long run there.

Went out just before noon. Not rainy today, still a bit cold. Decided to take the Butte Road because it wouldn't be as muddy. I passed a house with two black dogs barking at me on my way out. I was on the other side of the road and they didn't really chase me. On the way back in, though, I was on the same side of the road and they were really coming at me. I had to jump back into the road to avoid them. Never really had dogs here after come after me like that. A little kid was outside playing and came running out to help me. Achilles a little tight most of the time, really started to flare up after about 5 miles. Not sure that I'll be able to do that long run tomorrow.

After my doctor's appointment I picked up new shoes and asked the owner the best place to do a fairly flat 10 miles on trails. His best suggestion was to drive down to Hill City and do it on the Mickelson Trail, so that's what I did. Gorgeous day out, I felt great. Had very very mild achilles pain towards the end, but it really wasn't a problem. Maybe the shoes helped. The trade off, of course, was blisters. We'll see how bad they turn out to be. That prevented me from adding on another mile or two at the end.

Spent the day packing things up and running end-of-career errands. After I got "checked out" of the house (even though there is a lot more packing to do), I went for a run. Legs a little dead from yesterday, so I took it slow. I was planning on doing 7 miles but I decided to listen to my body and just do 5. Legs felt a little tired, also I'm coming down with a slight cold. Probably won't hit my mileage this week, but I'll be right below it. And that's better than being sick and injured.

Summary:
Got wrapped up in editing my beer article for South Dakota magazine for an hour and a half longer than I intended, so didn't get out until right after noon. I was still thinking about the article so I wasn't really focused on running at all, which sort of got me in the zone. Run went by quickly. Calves still really tight, especially my right calf. Should be easier from here, though. Strange to think this was probably my last run on Craven Road, maybe ever. Jossi asked about my milage plan for the next month. It's hard to say; I don't know what my routine will be like at Institute or how much time/energy I'll have. Two summers ago I managed to build up to 50 but I might have to do even more work now that they are paying me for it. I anticipate doing about 30 next week for the break week and then trying to jump back up to 40 and then build more slowly from there--maybe adding three or four miles a week.
