Relentless

AM - weights and dog walk.

afternoon - 7.5 

AM - 7 Twix/AC

afternoon - 9 Dirt Mile.  Warmed with the boys.  Then tempoed for 20 mins with the girls.  Finished up with a good cool.  (Peg grey 35.5)

morning - 8 Sullivan Loop.  Took Ry down to Sully and then ran the loop with Twix.  Felt good and enjoyed the run and sleeping in.  (Peg Oly 22.25)

Weeks are just moving by.  Glad that I have been able to run a little bit.

Goals for next week: I really don't have any running goals right now other than to be able to keep running.

morning - 12.5 Twix/Suicidal Tendencies. Woke up in time to get a little bit with Twix. It helped stretch out the achilles and get me moving for the day. Then over to the Sanra Claea trails. Very solid run on Suicidal. Kept up with the boys, enjoyed the nice temps, and loved the beauty of the desert. Very grateful for being able to sleep in to around 6:30 each of he last three days. Thanks to all those early labor forces who fought against the oppression of the corporate machine.  (sense pro 107.25)

AM - walk with dog.

afternoon - 3 BHNP.  Just ran around the park setting up the course and with the girls a bit. (Peg gre 38.5)

AM - 3.5 AC.  Slept in this morning.  Shouldn't have done that, but I was pretty spent.  Twix will be mad at me about that.  (Cumulus 173.25)

afternoon - 1.5 Dirt Mile.  Ran the loop and a bit helping set up the course.  (Cumulus 174.75)

AM - walk the dogs and weights.

afternoon - 8 GS.  Ended with 4x200.  Didn't do too bad on those.

AM - 8 Twix/AC.  Out with the dog and then on the usual for practice.  (Peg black 599.75)

morning - 9.75 Sugarhouse.  Hit up the State course for a fartlek workout.  Felt okay; still feeling it a bit from the hot afternoon runs.  But it sure was nice this morning.  (Peg grey 48.25)

Had a little stronger end to the week than what it was shaping up to be, so that's nice.

Goals for next week: Hopefully keep feeling better.

AM - 12.5 River Run.  Made the loop down onto the River Trail.  Hit 10x100m hills on 2450 on the way back.  Kids had a lot of energy on the hills; I had none - it made for a pretty big gap.  However, I felt great on the run until the end when my achilles started to really hurt.  (Peg Oly 34.5)

AM - walk with Twix and weights.

afternoon - 8.5 Twix/BHNP.  Ran about 4 with Twix before today's meet.  Then over at the meet, ran 4.5 more setting up and then with the boys as they did their post-meet workout and cool.  It was a good day for Panther harriers today.  (Pace 352.75)

AM - 7.25 Twix/AC.  Very painful start to the day with the right achilles really acting up this morning.  Got 4 in with Twix around the neighborhood.  Then 25 mins with the team this morning.  Ended up with some pretty week plyos.  (Riders 624.5)

afternoon - 7.25 FireStation Desert.  Up into the north desert after picking up Alex who forgot some shorts.  Hit a short dip in the Boilers to round out the run.  Achilles still flaring up.  (Peg Oly 42)

AM - Walk and weights.

afternoon - 7.75 Trail to Nowhere.  Ran down the trail to figure out stuff for the car wash on Saturday.  Achilles a bit more bareable today.  (Peg grey 56)

AM - 7.75 Twix/AC.  Took the dog through DogTown and get a little mileage on a nice morning with a touch of fall in the air.  Then a few more miles with the team.  Ended with a pretty tired set of plyos.  (Peg blue 305.5)

afternoon - 7 FireStation desert. Just a bit of running in the heat with a nice dip in the Boilers. No strides for me after; my achs didn't feel like it. 

morning - 9 River Trail. Got to sleep in a bit and have the run before the car wash. I was a bit tired throughout. Car wash was good and tiresome. (Peg Oly 51)

Week was okay for running, stressful for other things. 

Goals for next week: enjoy Bob Firman. 

AM - 14.25 Twix/Sullivan. A little with the dog and then a good 90 min with the team. Went up the trail to Hell Hole and then the Parkway and GS. It was a decent run. Had 2x2 mile AT tempo. Actually felt really good there. I'm thinking it was my hardest "workout" in many many months. (Peg grey 70.25)

AM - walk with Twix and weights.

afternoon - 8.5 DogTown.  Out and around into Washington with a big crew of guys.  It sure is a special group this year.  (Peg Oly 59.5)

AM - 7.75 Twix/AC.  A bit of a humid run.  The clouds and rain came in last night and kept it fairly warm.  (Riders 632.25)

afternoon - 4.5 BHNP.  Just witnessed the greatest all-around team workout I've ever seen.  Varsities were just straight up solid.  Upper JVs were clickeing like they never have.  And lower JVs were showing huge signs of improvement.  And the best thing was... none of it was done outside of the threshold they were supposed to be doing.  Obviously pleased.  (Kinvara green 417.75)

AM - walk and weights.

evening - 7.25 SugarHouse. Ran for 60 on the course including some strides on key parts of the course. Just got done before the big rains hit. Finish the drive to Boise tomorrow. (Peg grey 77.5)

morning - 3 Dry Creek.  3 up on the woodchips.  

evening - 3 Eagle Island.  Ran the course with the boys up to Bob Firman.  (Kinvara blue 329.75)

morning - 4.5 Boise.  Ran with Vis near the hotel.  It wa a nice morning out.  Now that I am writing this after, I can say that spirits were high and we expected the teams to run very well... they didn't do as well as hoped.  (Peg grey 82)

Another week up/Another week down.

Goals for next week: It is hitting a little bit that this is marathon week.  But it is hitting more that XC is actually nearing an end.  I don't like it. So the goals... stall time.

AM - 12.75 Twix/River Trail.  Could have used a lot more sleep today... Ran a bit with Twix and then with the team on the River Trail.  Threw in 10min at 5:50 pace and after a 6min rec a mile at 5:45 (was around 5:35, but slowed the last .25).  To think, normally I would be planning on that pace or quicker for 26 miles this weekend.  Kinda weird now.  (Peg Oly 72.25)

AM - walk with the dogs and then weights.

afternoon - 2 BHNP.  Just a short run today setting up and picking up the cones for the workout.  (Kinvara grey 152)

AM - 8.25 Twix/AC.  A touch more this morning with the dog just becuase I got ready a little quicker.  Then the boys hit a little extra this morning.  Even after a couple tougher days, they seem to still have a little pep in the legs.  (Peg 31 757.25)

afternoon - 7.75 DogTown. Out into Washington. Kinda tired. (Cumulus 17 182.5)

AM - dog walk and weights. 

afternoon - 7.75 GS. Same time as yesterday, so guessing on the mileage. Had to double back so Mikey could get all the stuff getting asked to Sadies. (Peg black 608.5)

AM - 8 Twix/AC.  Dog and I went up along the Parkway and somehow made it back through the Dirt Mile in the pitch black.  Then a solid 25 mins with the team.  Decent morning run.  Nice to be out enjoying a fall morning.  (Peg grey 90)
