Relentless

AM - 11 PVHS/AC/Lutheran.  Started off with a couple on the tread before running over to school for morning practice where I ran AC with Tyson and then finished off with Lutheran.  Felt good this morning.  Was able to wake up easy and the hip felt great.  Not a bad morning; if I could ever get my vehicle to work.  Maybe I will just ditch it all together - takes more planning, but I am tired of the hassle.  (Triumph silver 643.05)

afternoon - 11 Devil/home.  Devil's run with the team and then weights and plyos.  Finished up by running home and Molly's Mile.  Left hammy really tightened up during squats, so I had Ally roll it a bunch to try and loosen it up a bit.  (Kinvara 545.15)

AM - 8 PV/AC/DI.  Legs (left hammy) still a little tight, but not a big deal as I ran over to practice and then added DI at the end.  Didn't want to go too much this morning as I will hit a bit more this afternoon and I need to make sure I don't drive my mileage up too quick while adding in each morning.  (Free 581.45)

afternoon - 15 River Trail/home/King's Row.  Good 9 miler with the boys (they may be fixing the washed out trail down by the river bend, that would be nice).  Then I ran on home and took Elin and the dog out for 3 more to King's Row.  Felt pretty decent, still some soreness in the legs and general fatigue, but that should work out soon I hope.  (Hyper Speed 2 59.25)

AM - 10 Clyde's.  Tired this morning, but it so much easier to wake up when you know someone is there to run with.  Not a bad run, we didn't burn it just kept it moving along at a nice shake-out the cobwebs pace.  (F50 69.25)

afternoon - 10 Shoe/home.  Shoe Run with a dip (two actually) in the very cold Sandberg's Pond.  It was freezing, but it actually gave my legs - and energy level - a bit of a zing!  8xbarefoot striders and then weights and plyos.  Then I ran home and added in Molly's Mile.  (Barefoot '11 11)(Boston 808.5)

AM - 8 PV/AC/DI.  Again, kept the morning mileage a little lower by not adding anything before going over to school and only hitting DI after.  My mileage this week is working its way up a bit too high too quickly.  That's okay... I'll survive.  (Altra 318)

afternoon - 7 Temple Quarry.  Trail Thursday!  Found a trail I haven't even been on, and it is right in the heart of town.  Most of the kids had walked this trail for YM/YW's at some time, but we extended beyond the normal trail around the rest of the bluff and then took a monsterous climb up to the top of the bluff where the "D" is and then ran around up there a bit.  It was a great trail and a tough workout.  I was definitely spent on the way back.  Had some church stuff, so I had to catch a ride home and get right into it, so no extra mileage today.  (Last Ohana 280)

AM - 6 PV/AC.  Didn't add anything extra this morning.  I have been feeling great - hip pain is holding off, stomach/lower ab pain too - so I feel like I could just run forever right now, but I am really trying to be smart as I increase my mileage up over 100 right now.  So I just kept it small.  Had even planned to not run this afternoon to go get some refinancing paperwork done, but that didn't work out in the schedule, so I'll still run, but nothing big.  I guess all the extra yoga and core stuff is paying off... keep it up.  (Oregon 264)

afternoon - 7 GS/Middleton.  Just a random run up through Green Springs and into the desert and just kind of all over.  Nice to just chill these last few runs.  (Rocket 249.5)

AM - 20.5 Utah Hill.  Thought about going more (two loops), but Logan wasn't feeling good and I am glad that I fell in with him because the 20 was enough.  I was pretty tired by the time we finished up.  The run wasn't too shabby though.  (NB 101 424.25)

Decent week.  Got some good mileage.  Getting into a good 5 morning schedule, but I need to watch my hip for sure.

Goals for next week:  Not let my mileage get too high.  Involve some solid tempo stuff.
