Relentless

AM - 10 2xAC/2xHarts/some laps.  Slept in a bit this morning as last night was not a great sleeper.  Al was gone much of the night watching neighbor kids for what was supposed to be a few minutes but turned into a many hours as a baby was born - so I kept waking up knowing where she was at, but wondering.  And the girls were up and down all night.  Anyway... so I was a little behind this morning.  Run was pretty junky too.  Very flat and blah.  Ran into the twins (James and Nate were dressed head-to-toe twinners) for a little on the last little addition I did to make it 10.  (Landreth black 571.35)

Ry's birthday today!

afternoon - 11 barefoot/2xDI.  Went out and got 5.5 in barefoot on the grass.  Then warmed up with the team and hit the cooldown with them.  Finished with a mile at home with Laney in the stroller, Ry on her bike, and Molly on the leash.  Still felt pretty tired and crappy.  Some of that may be due to the 90 heat.  (Landreth 784.25)

AM - 10 Middleton.  Happy that I got up this morning!  Hit Middleton and then took Molly around.  Maybe felt a little better than yesterday, but still some stiffness and fatigue - maybe I am just a little worn down and stressed out from all the work I need to do.  (Cumulus gold 328.15)

no run this afternoon - track meet

AM - 12 Mall/2xAC/laps.  Got up on time again this morning!  Run was okay; I could tell I had only run once yesterday - legs a little flat and junky at first.  The moon was awesome this morning as it was a perfect crescent right next to the morning star(planet - is it Venus?  I'll have to look it up).  But it was so close, like millimeters away; at one point even touching.  As I watched it most of the run I caught a lash out of the top of my eye and looked up and saw a huge shooting star.  Cool stuff.  (Landreth orange 115.25)

afternoon - 11 River Trail.  took the team down for runs of 6,8,10 on the River Trail.  It was a hot bugger and really put a strain on the system.  Ran with Molly when I got home; then jumped in the pool - it was nice and cool.  (Stratus black  309.1)

afternoon - 13 Shoe/Grass.  Went out on an adventurous Shoe Run, as we had to blaze our own trail down by the river due to construction.  Then I went to the ball field and ran 5 barefoot around the soccer field and 8xbarefoot striders.  Finished off the run by taking Molly around as Rylee rode her bike.  (landreth 791.25)

AM - 12 Mall/2xAC/laps.  Usual morning practice routine.  I am kind of in a lull right now.  Hopefully next week I'll be ready to get back a little more, as I would like to move the mileage up a little from the last two weeks.  (stratus grey 109.1)

AM - 11 Junction.  Up early to get a few in before the trip up to Cedar for a track meet.  A nice little run, despite being so tired.  Got home and took the dog around.  (Landreth orange 126.25)

Interesting couple weeks.  Cut the mileage back significantly do to track with an eye on recovery, but I don't know if I really feel all that recovered - and recovered from what?  Just high mileage I guess.  But I am ready to get back some good mileage and tie in a few long runs - it has been awhile since I have gone anytihng over 13-15 or so.

Goals for next week: bring the mileage back up and get in a solid long run.  A busy week as Ry is getting baptised Saturday, so I won't be going up to BYU with the team.
