AM - 13.5 Foremaster/2xAC/laps.  Up just a little earlier this morning so I could get a little extra in.  Still felt a little off - a 13 miler shouldn't really be a tough thing, but I just didn't feel like I think I should.  I wonder if my body was kind of in a taper phase after I cut mileage the last two weeks?  (Landreth black 584.85)

afternoon - 12 Green Springs/DI/2450.  Ran 5 with the boys that are racing tomorrow, then caught the BYU bound boys and ran their cool down, and finally finished with 2450 and a run with Molly when I got home - even a little bit with Pyper!  (Stratus bee 615.65)

AM - 10 Middleton.  Out to Middleton this morning.  Then took the dog around.  Runs are okay lately, but just kind of flat.  (Landreth orange 136.25)

afternoon - 8.5 River Trail.  Headed down onto the trail before the races today.  Still sluggish.  (Cumulus white 640.35)

AM - 13 Foremaster/2xAC/laps.  Felt a little better today as far as having something in my running.  Hope that I can keep that turning around.  (Stratus black 322.10)

afternoon - 12 Washington/laps/DI.  Ran out to Washington for an easy 5 with the non-BYU boys and then hit a bunch of laps as I waited for the BYU boys to finish their track work; then hit 8xbarefoot striders and ended the run with DI cool down.  (Cumulus gold  339.15)

AM - 10.5 Wendy's. Went out on the Wendy's loop and then took Molly around the block.  Temps out are perfect, just a little chill to keep it fresh.  (Stratus grey 119.60)

afternoon - 13.5.  Started with 5 barefoot on the grass.  Then had about a 25 minute break for a swine flu meeting at school.  Then hit up 5 more with Kimz and Aust out in the firestation desert.  Finished with 2450.  Getting back, I was able to get a chiro adjustment from one of the kid's dads.  It was the first time I have ever had one, I was cracking all over - kind of scary in a way.  (Landreth 799.75)

Hit 500 for the first time ever in a calendar month!

AM - 8.25 Green Springs.  Took advantage of the smaller miles and slept in a few minutes.  Nice little run around Green Springs loop.  Pushed the pace coming down Quail Ridge - haven't done that often lately - will get into some Tinman stuff and Tempo stuff in the next couple weeks and that will be nice.  (Stratus bee 623.90)

afternoon - 13 Mall Trail to Nowhere/Webb Hill.  Ran the Trail to Nowhere with the JV boys today with a nice pickup in the middle to their Temp pace (5:50) for a mile.  Then went over to Webb and ran 2 sets of Meatgrinders/Fire Sides - up Meatgrinder and down Fire Side, then up Fire Side and down Meatgrinder.  On the second time down Fire Side I saw something flash out of the corner of my eye, so I stopped.  It was a beautifuly colored fox - every color from red to rusty orange, to brown - he just stopped and stared at me from about 5 feet away for 1-2 minutes until he decided to move on!  It was very cool.  Oh and the hills were tough.  (Cumulus gold  352.15)

AM - 33 Wendy's/Quail.  Got up and ran Wendy's then went down and ran Quail with James.  On the way out we took the Lava Point trail to add a few miles - down by the river I noticed some blue string up in the cliffs, so I was staring at it - then I noticed two great horned owls sitting up in the cliffs, one in the nest must have been an adolescent - it looked just like an Ewok.  Then just a few feet away on a crag was the adult.  Two straight days of awesome animal sightings!  Got fairly tired as we finished up the run into the wind.  (Landreth orange 169.25)

Week was solid, got in another set of good miles and and decent long run.

Goals for next week:  It will be another busy one with region track on two days, so that will cut into the mileage a bit.  So I will use it as a recovery.  Then over the weekend we are up to SLC, so I think I may head up into the mountains for a hard mountain trail run - but we'll see.
