Relentless

morning - 11 Junction.  Felt pretty decent on this run out to the Junction.  Got home and took the dog around the neighborhood.  (Stratus black 150.35)

evening - 5 Treadmill.  Jumped on the treadmill for a little while.  Treated me just fine.  (Cumulus blue 500.65)

AM - 6 Washington Loop.  Got up and got a few in.  Then took the dog around the block.  (Landreth 569.10)

afternoon - 9.2 Parkway.  This afternoon I finally felt fatigued and worn from the 1/2.  Passed on running miles with Austing and Kimzey and just went on the Parkway.  Decided to run barefoot at the park for a little, but tumbleweeds had left stickers everywhere, so that didn't last long.  Dragged myself the rest of the way around.  (Landreth black 342.65)

AM - 6 Washington Loop.  Another solid morning run.  Finished with running the dog again.  (Stratus bee 449.45)

afternoon - 9 Ran Foremaster w/ the boys and then did 6 striders.  After, I went and did wieghts, just two sets since I haven't lifted for so long.  Then finished with DI loop.  Legs felt a little better after wieghts and on the DI loop than the last couple days.  Had to run in an old pair of Cumulus 9's (red) because I had a shoe mistake.  They actually felt okay and may have a little more in them, so I won't be too afraid to use them if I have to again.  (Cumulus red -8

evening - 9 Club run.  Started with a mile w/ the dog.  Py came on the last little with us.  She had a lot of fun outsprinting me.  Then went over to run w/ the club.  We went up Middleton/PL/GS.  A light little drizzle and good company made it nice.  (Cumulus white 477.50)

Didn't run this morning because I don't want the miles to go up too high too fast.

AM - 6 Washington Loop.  Nice drizzly morning.  Abs hurt just a little, so I need to be careful as I keep taking mileage up (they had been feeling great the past couple weeks).  Then took the dog out again.  She is getting a little better at pacing herself!  (Cumulus blue 506.65)

afternoon - 9.5 10xold man hills.  The hills took on the real meaning today as Austin laid it out that he is the master, not the old man.  Just not a lot in the legs today.  Chilly drizzly day and I just never really warmed up.  Hit a quick round of weights when we finished.  (Cumulus gold  152.95)

morning - 18 Club run.  Ran over to the store (2.25), then met up with everyone - good to have Greg down to hit the run with us.  We went out on the fields loop for 12 and then I ran home.  Of course the dog wanted to go when I got home, so I took her around the block.  Kind of fun in the rainy fog.  A little tired by the end, but to be expected with the increase mileage, weights, and hills.  (Landreth 587.1)

Enjoyable week.  It felt good to be doing morning runs again.  Waking up wasn't a big deal and I felt a lot better.  Glad I got into the weight room as well, even though I am not a big fan of it.

Goals for next week:  Mileage should be mid 90's; so pretty much the same as this week, w/ a run every mornign to catch the extra 6.  Keep the abs/hips feeling okay.
