Relentless

AM - 9 3/4's.  Knee was giving some issues over the weekend, but everything felt great this morning.  Much better than last Monday's run.  (Connect 66)

afternoon - 12 6x1000's.  Ran the workout with the Varsity boys today.  To tell you the truth, it was kind of intimidating.  But once the old man got rolling it was just like old times.  Started off with a few in the 3:14-13 range then took it down to 11 for a couple and ended with a 3:08.  Warmed and cooled with DI and then home as usual and a bit with the dog and Pyper (then worked on her standing long jump some more).  (Oregon 359.5)

AM - 9 3/4's.  Back to a tough night for Elin, so a tough morning for me.  I was basically sleep running the whole time, but the yoga session this morning was solid and hopefully works the muscles out a little so I am not dead this afternoon and can run with the girls in their workout.  (Landreth blue 748.65)

afternoon - 9 track.  Did the workout with the varsity girls today - 2 sets(2x1000, 4x200).  It felt good after yesterday's hard run to not go so quick but still move the legs a little and work out some of the junk.  Then I ran around with my girls a bit as they came to the track to practice a little more for Hershey's.  Warm and cool with DI.  (Stratus black 969.45)

AM - 10 Clyde's.  A good run.  Pace was more normal that the previous couple weeks and the temps were really nice out.  (Kinvara 607.9)

afternoon - 8 Shoe/home.  I hate to say it, but I am coming down with a cold.  Blah... But the jump in Sandberg's was nice.  (Hyper Speed 207)

AM - 8 Mall/AC.  Yup, I am sick.  So blah today that I cut it short.  I would go home, but we are hosting a JV track meet today.  So instead of resting I will actually be working more.  Yuck.  (Triumph silver 681.55)

morning - 26.5 Gooseberry.  A brutally amazing run.  Ran with Logan from Virgin up a crazy climb (hiked it) up the north side of Gooseberry and then basically around the rim of the mesa.  The views were awesome, but the running was tough.  It really took a toll on me and by the end I was spent.  Glad I went though, even though I wasn't sure I should after being sick for the last couple days - I am sure that added somewhat to me fatigue.  This section of the Zion race is going to be a tough one.  (NB 110 120.5)

AM - 20 Prospector.  Spent most of the run (on the way out) staring at Gooseberry and just trying to wrap my head around the whole experience.  Hadn't ever got out this far on Prospector before - it took me all the way up into Red Cliffs.  Near the turnaround I stopped at a little bit of history that I never knew was there - a movie "Road to Cordoba" (I think?) was made there in the '50's and there is a plaque and some of the movie set left.  Run was extremely slow.  (NB 101 481.75)
