Relentless

AM - 6 ACx2.  Time to start up the morning practices and get my overdose of Arctic Circle run.  Ran with Chandis on the first one and Kimz and Aust on the second.  (Cumulus blue 518.65)

I realized I have parent teachers this week.  So running is going to be severly adversely affected.  I hate PT Confs.

afternoon - 15.3 Mall/Trail to No Where and Hospital.  Ran with a good group of boys on the Trail to No Where.  Then I extended down around Hospital.  Felt very flat and tired, so I didn't try to hit any Tinman.  Then I had to hurry home to watch Laney as Ry and Py went swimming; so no striders or lifting.  When I got home, I took Lanes in the stroller and the dog on a run over to the ball fields and we ran 8xbarefoot striders and a barefoot mile, then home.  (Cumulus white 500.8))

mid-morning - 9 barefoot.  Went out on the balls fields and ran 8 miles barefoot before PT's and then did 8xbarefoot striders.  Felt okay but did get a blister on my left big toe.

Only run for today as I won't want to run when I get home and slept in not feeling too great this morning.  I have a little cold and don't want it to go full blown by wearing myelf out.

AM - 6.75 2xAC w/ some laps.  Nice little run.  Blisters didn't bug.  I drained them last night and put mole skin on them, so no problem.  (Landreth 605.75)

evening - 10 Middleton.  Took the dog around the neighborhood; then ran out to Middleton and up to the top of the Heights.  Felt pretty good and racey.  It was probably a good thing I didn't have a watch on or I would have sprinted my way home.  (Stratus black 174.95)

noon - 7.2 Up Shinob Kibe.  Aust, Kimz and I weren't sure where to go today, so I suggested UP Shinob Kibe.  Despite the grueling run/hike, it was fun.  Got home and took the dog around.  (Cumulus white 508)

evening - 8.85 Club run.  We went up into Green Springs and took some trails to connect over to Millcreek and down through Washington.  Good run; felt pretty decent.  (Stratus bee 464.3)

AM - 7 2xAC and some laps.  A little sore this morning.  But it sure was nice out; temps over 50 at 6AM.  (Cumulus blue 525.65)

afternoon - 7.5 Dog pound AT.  Warmed up with Corey, Josh, and Austin around DI and then got into AT.  I didn't feel loose or great, but once we got moving it went well.  AT section was 3.25 miles and we did it in just over 17:00 - pretty solid; considering the last mile is all uphill and we held it at 6:00.  Then cooled down with DI again.  (Landreth black 374.8)

morning - 22 Icehouse.  Took the trail up Icehouse and then to the trailhead at Broken Mesa with a large group of us.  A pretty solid run.  Even with all the climbing (app. 2300 ft in 9 miles) I felt good.  It was like Wild Kingdom as we raced a small herd of 7 deer up the Icehouse climb; then when we got on top we saw a large herd of probably 100 deer moving across the mesa.  We chased them for a few miles and saw a few nice bucks.  Then we heard a few coyotes out howling.  And it was nice, as I timed my fall much better than last time (on the lava) and fell on some nice soft dirt and only knocked my breath out. (Cumulus gold 194.45)

Good week.  Kind of a pain with PT's and that crazy schedule.  But mileage was good (I should have taken the dog out today and hit 100+, but I needed to work in the yard and I was tired). 

Goals for next week:  Get back into the weight room (missed both times last week because of PT schedule), and be right up near the century mark if I am feeling good - really it is just about mileage and time on the feet all spring.
