6/11/17 to 7/22/17: Last Six Weeks!?!?! - Lazy Blog Updater

Yeesh!  I've been lax.  Let's just go with a bullet point summary...

- high dew points have me struggling
- I went on vacation and had a down week for mileage
- only one track workout the whole time (!?!), and it was on the shorter side
- three races, two wins, no PRs
- lots of ultimate
- lots of tempos
- Yoga once (through CSU)
- struggling to establish an XT/core routine and make it a habit
- three long runs

The stuff:
