Relentless

AM - 6 Treadmill.  Started out with 1 easy and then 1 at 6:40.  Then I took it to 6:00 for the next 4.  Goal is to try and remind legs, body and mind that 6:00 is an okay pace and not too hard to hold with a little effort.  Calve felt a bit better than the end of Saturday's run.  (Free 385.45)

afternoon - 9.75 Mall/2450.  Mall run with most of the team helping the girls do a tempo, then my own little push around 2450 - hit the 3 with an average of 6:15, so not too bad including the hill with not too much effort.  Molly's Mile when I got home.  (Stratus grey 667.1)

AM - 5 AC.  Ran to AC from home and over to school.  Felt decent this morning on little sleep and after running quicker yesterday; however, it usually takes a full day to set in, so I'll see this afternoon.  (Triumph 685.25)

afternoon - 10.25 Green Springs/home.  Easy run up GS today with the team.  I didn't feel quite as drained as I thought.  Finished up by running home and then Molly's Mile.  (Landreth blue 522.65)

AM - 5 AC.  Ran over to school again today by way of going out to Arctic Circle.  Thought I might go a little less since I'll end up with near 18 today, but felt fine after a sore hip and calves last night.  (Landreth black 982.6)

afternoon - 13.25 Fire Station Desert/home.  Hit the same run that we did last week on Weds. up into the desert by the Fire Station and around the sand for a bit and back to school.  Then 8xbarefoot striders (a pretty good set - I think the boys might be getting antsy for some workouts) and then home and Molly's Mile.  Feeling pretty decent and picked up the pace on the way home.  (Barefoot '11 2)(Triumph silver 459.05)

evening - 10.5 Club.  Hit the trail-Bloomington route.  A good run with a few solid pickups in it - dropped the pace to/below 5:30 on a few occasions, with a 5:20 up the Mile Repeat section.  Molly's Mile.  (Kinvara 250.5)

afternoon - 11.25 Grass/Foremaster.  Went out early to practice and got 4 barefoot in.  Grass was nice and starting to green up good.  Then ran Foremaster with the boys at a solid tempo pace - ended up being basically Tinman throughout.  It was their first tempo in a since NXR and they handled the pace very well.  Even the youngsters ran pretty solid throughout.  Finished up with Molly's Mile.  (Barefoot '11 6)(Landreth orange 815.6)

morning - 15.75 St. George 1/2.  Met up with everybody (except James) and ran the 1/2 course again - mostly because we didn't have anything else to do.  Week has had a lot of faster miles, so most of us didn't plan on pushing much.  Ended up with a quicker stretch for a few miles on the second loop and averaged 6:40 for the whole run even with the easy bit at first and cool downs.  Showcased my talent a little and helped Logan break into his truck and ended with Molly's Mile.  (Boston 392.25)

Pretty solid week.  Most miles in quite a while; but more importantly feeling good and having some quicker runs.

Goals for next week:  See what race day holds for me, but hopefully be able to push out a decent race - feel good about my effort and run strong.
