afternoon - 14 2xHarts/Hospital.  Warmed up and cooled down with team just up to Harts and then continued on into Hospital run which I took up Foremaster and then back toward school and up around DI.  Didn't feel like running this afternoon at first, but as I got going life was good.  Not really sore from Saturday which is nice.  Took this morning off trying to catch up on some sleep.  It may make it so I don't hit the mileage I had wanted for the week (since I will already have singles on Wed/Thurs due to track), but Ally said something that made me think - she told me to take the morning off, which I didn't want to, but when she mentioned that I was falling asleep every time I sat down for over 10 minutes I remembered my commitment to train smarter not harder and obviously my body needed some sleep.  (Stratus grey 779.6)

AM - 10 Green Springs/Warm Springs.  Didn't want to get up this morning, but glad I did - like usual, it isn't bad running, it is the getting up that sucks.  No hip pain!  Just a great temp morning run.  (Altra 102)

afternoon - 12 Grass/Shoe.  Barefoot for 7.  It was nice at first, but weather turned and it got cold, rainy and windy.  Team ran Shoe Run nice and easy.  (Barefoot 53)(Triumph 733.75)

AM - 12 Target.  Ran opposite direction of when I do a tempo session.  Legs are worn down.  Just kept telling myself to make it through today and through the week.  Hip is a bit iffy, not the sharp stabbing pain of a hard workout, but rather the dull ache of mileage.  (Stratus black 833.7)

AM - 3x8th/Parkway.  Slept in just a little today - had to keep reminding myself, train smarter not harder - and may have to keep reminding myself of that, as I was pretty mad at not getting up.  But this morning I needed to sleep (in? - if you call it that - I guess that is all relative).  Anyway... the run was actually way good.  I felt much better today than yesterday.  (Altra 110)

afternoon - 5 Grass.  Sneaked in 5 on the grass barefoot - including 8xbarefoot striders - before we headed up to Region.  I felt great and smooth this afternoon.  (Barefoot '11 58)

afternoon - 6 Fields.  Pretty hot out today and I just felt absolutely spent.  Wanted to get more after sleeping in (got home much to late from Region track to get up early), but I was just drained in every way.  (Triumph silver 563.8)

AM - 20.25 SGM.  Ran with Clyde, Dustin and Bill from about mile 3 of the course on down to the old store.  No real plan going in - just hit some solid tempo stuff and don't go to crazy with it.  Had a good strong run.  Getting into the tempo, I really wanted to make sure I didn't turn it into a race (last summer I think I pushed too hard down the course and used up a little of the good stuff at about the same time before the real race).  I felt kind of interesting - tired but good, weak but strong... Ended up with 8 at a solid tempo 5:25'ish ave.  Then 2 cool.  (Boston 612)

Week was a tough one to get through.  Running was okay, but I was so tired it cost me some mileage - but I think things will be fine still.  Finally hit the ice on Friday night, need to do that a few more times.

Goals for next week: not worry about mileage (will be busy with State), get some mile repeats in on Tuesday or Wednesday and have a little tempo session on Saturday morning.
