Relentless

AM - 11 Mall/2xAC.  Wasn't great to get up, but glad I did.  Temps were just a touch cooler this morning (hooray!).  (Altra 251.5)

afternoon - 6 2450 Park.  Down to the park and 4 barefoot miles.  Just a tiny touch cooler today and it made a huge difference.  (Barefoot '11 155)(Triumph 756.75)

AM - 8 Mall/AC.  No 2nd AC this morning as I have a bunch of stuff to get ready for the day and run-a-thon tonight.  (Oregon 109.5)

afternoon - 10.75 Bloomington Hills.  Went over to the region course and ran a workout on it for practice today.  Ran 2xmile, 2x1200 - cruise pace (essentially tempo - right around 5:55-6:00 for the boys) and then I added 2xmile again to help one of our runners out who showed up late (I was just happy he showed up!).  So by the cool down I was feeling a bit spent with all that hard running in the grass.  (Barefoot '11 157)(NB 101 217.75)

AM - 10 track.  Pulled an all nighter with our run-a-thon.  So at about 3:00 am I hit the track.  Warmed up for a couple miles, then 2 at 6:30 to get the legs moving.  Then went into a little 4 mile tempo session - went 5:40, 5:30, 5:20, 5:10.  Cooled down for two more.  Felt pretty good.  By the end I was moving along pretty well and thought about doing more.  But I told myself to calm down and not get to over my head.  (Last Ohana 207.25)

Decent week.  Just need to get some sleep to catch up for Friday night/Saturday morning. 

Goals for next week:  Keep the hip holding up (it did great this last week).  A few harder runs in the mix.  And a busy week with 2 races and homecoming junk that we are involved in.

morning - 19 SGM.  Ran from Vernon Worthen up to Winchester and back.  Wasn't sure if I should run, since I had been under the weather.  But I was feeling decent and figured I would turn around if I needed to.  But felt strong up and had a decent, but not crazy, push back down.  Didn't time anything as the garmin wasn't charged.  (Mana 73.25)

Realized I shouldn't have pushed myself into so much this morning.  Now I am suffering from it big time.  Pretty dang sick now.

Taking today off - sicko

Bummer for the week.  Hopefully I can get feeling better over the weekend and get this cleared up sometime soon.

AM - 1.5 Harts.  Just hit the warm up with the girls.  Feeling a little betters.  (Free 5.14.2)

afternoon - 4.5 DIx2.  Warmed up and cooled down with the boys.  (Boston 714)

AM - 11 track.  Warmed up and cooled down to GS.  Hit the track for a little workout.  Wasn't sure how great it would go, but it wasn't too shabby.  Went 1600, 800, 1600, 800, 800.  Paces were solid, but nothing great.  It was nice to run a little harder.  (Rocket 100.25)

afternoon - 4 2xDI.  Warmed up and cooled down with the boys. 

AM - 2xAC.  Nice morning out after a rainstorm last night.  Still improving a bit, but some junk in the lungs and legs.  (Altra 257.5)

afternoon -  5 Parkway.  Practice was cancelled after weights because of lightning, so I just came home and ran in the rain.  Still a lot of lung blah.  (Kinvara 466.5)

AM - 6.25 AC/2450.  Still feeling the cold in the lungs.  It is getting better, but just hanging out.  So resting feels good and it is tough to get out in the morning and get going.  But legs are feeling a bit better.  (Hyper Speed 47.75)

afternoon - 3 2xHarts.  Not much this afternoon.  Still trying to get feeling better, so I just warmed and cooled with the JV boys and helped them with their workout.  (Stratus black 860.75) 

AM - 12.5 River Trail.  Ran over to Steve's and then down through Washington down Dog Pound and Riverside, eventually onto the River Trail and finishing at Bloomington.  Tempoed for 10.  Had a pretty solid tempo (holding from 5:30-5:45) considering still recovering from sickness.  Pleased with it.  (Last Ohana 219.75)

AM - 18 SGM Course.  Got home late from Provo last night, slept for a few hours and then met up with the guys and ran up and back the course.  Although everyone was bagging on the idea of going up, it turned out well.  Every time I've run this, I've liked it.  Good solid up, then just a good solid flow back down until the last two.  Dustin B. and Logan left Steven and I like we were standing still, but I still hit 5:15's for the last two; so pleased about that.  (Oregon 127.5)

Good recovery week from being sick.  Kind of strange that there are only 2 weeks until the race.  But it is what it is.

Goals for next week:  Something about like this week, and now I don't need to get mad at myself for not hitting as much mileage with the taper coming up.

AM - 7 PVHS.  Ran a workout with the girls and helped push/pull them along.  They are doing excellent.  (Stratus grey 849.45)

afternoon - 7 Shinob Kibe Roller Coaster.  Hadn't hit the roller coaster for awhile, so that was pretty fun.  A little warmer out today.  (Altra 264.5)

AM - 10 4x1000.  Warmed up with Green Springs.  Not really a great workout, but at least I did it.  I was expecting Steven and Dustin and maybe Logan this morning, but ended up running it by myself - which also makes it a bit tougher.  Cooled with the team on the usual morning AC.  (Rocket 110.25)

AM - 6 AC/GS.  Mixed it up just a little by heading up to Green Springs for the second part of the run.  Boy am I tired lately.  (Landreth blue 660.9)

afternoon - 6.5 River Trail.  Will I ever get something back in my legs?  Ended with 6x200 with the boys.  (Hyper Speed 54.25)

AM - 6 2xAC.  Pretty discouraged with my running right now.  Need to snap out of it a bit, but I just don't feel anything positive going on with it.  (Oregon 123.5)

afternoon - 6 Dog Pound.  Ran around a little setting up the course for the youngsters race today - that group is pretty solid, I wish I could get a few more girls out.  Then Dog Pound with the boys and 8xbarefoot striders.  (Barefoot '11 158)(Kinvara 471.65)  

AM - 10 Club loop.  Ran early this morning with Logan.  Great temps and good conversation.  Only thing better would be if my hip wasn't so jacked at the end.  (Rocket 120.25)

morning - 12.5 SLC.  Ran with the varsity up at Sugarhouse Park on the State course.  Warmed up for two and then as they hit their workout, I hit 5.5 at tempo - right around 5:45 pace, not bad for the grass.  Then we ran down 13th for a 3 mile cool down to the park the JV was racing at, getting there just in time to watch the girls.  Since I had my watch on, I decided to measure how much I run while coaching a race - for just two races (both JV teams), I ran over 1 1/2 miles, most of it pretty quick, with breaks of course.  (Ohana racers 582.75)

Not a bad week I guess.  By today, I felt pretty good.

Goals for next week: maybe enjoy a marathon a little.

AM - 6.5 Mall/Harts.  Felt great this morning.  (Hyper Speed 60.25)

afternoon - 7 Green Pole.  Another good run - legs feeling nice.  8xbarefoot striders.  (Altra 270.5)(Barefoot '11 159)

AM - 6 Foremaster.  Hit 4x4 minutes - not as sharp as I felt yesterday; a little tightness in the hip.  But only singles from here on out, so that should help rest it (hopefully).  (Old Ohana -6)

AM - 6 2xAC.  Another morning... that's about all I have to say.  (Oregon 139.5)

AM - 5 AC/DI.  Actually felt pretty good today.  Kept of gave me a positive attitude for the upcoming race.  I just need to make sure I stick to my plan and don't go out too crazy  - just run solid and let people and the time come to me.  (Mana 78.25)

AM - 5 AC/DI.  Felt decent again this morning.  So... nice for me I guess.  (Free 519.2)
