relentless forward progress

Very easy 5 mile recovery run to move some blood and cross the 100 mile week barrier for the first time. My week ends on Sunday and this makes 102 :). This won't become A habit until the Boston cycle but it's nice to know that i can do it and feel good. 7:40

10. This was a long run. I am a little tired and have a slightly angry piriformis. Scheduled a sports massage for Thursday and will take care (ice, stretch, rubbing) until then. Easy run tomorrow in prep for speed Wednesday. 7:03

I took yesterday off and saw the chiro. He's fixed me up pretty good so I decided to go ahead with a tempo today on the TM. 2.5 miles warmup from 8.5 to 9.5. 8 mile tempo from 10.2 to 10.5. 1.5 miles cool down. Felt about 90% today. I have a sports massage scheduled tomorrow. Hopefully that fixes me up even better. 6:15 avg today.

 am - Fun easy miles with Scott, Matt, Dan, and Jacob. Ran the standard canyon out and back. Very windy on the way up, reminiscent of UVM *shudder*. It was nice to just cruise today. Still a little tight today, hoping the massage puts it to rest. Matt and Dan were looking great on their pushes today. Another great morning :) 7:15 avg

pm - The logic was to flush the junk that the massage released. The reality is that I felt like a big heavy sore stone trying to run easy on a perfect afternoon. This was way harder than it should have been. Hopefully it worked though and I will feel like 5 million dollars when I wake up tomorrow... 5 miles 7:30 avg

Fun run this morning with Matt, Dan, and Scott. I've never ran the route north to Thanksgiving point and it was great. Had a little tightness to start but loosened right up. The push towards the end felt really good and the pain seems to be gone, happy happy joy joy. Off to mesquite for the Weekend.

Fun hilly route this morning in Mesquite. Felt great despite the gluttony at the buffet last night. I can breathe easy down here the hills were fun. 6:45 avg. 800 vert
