Relentless

AM - 8 Green Springs.  It was nice to wake up and be decently awake.  Temps were cooler again this morning - very nice.  A little soreness in quads, but calves felt fine.  (Altra 118)

afternoon - 11.5 Grass/2xHarts/laps.  Went and got 5 and half barefoot on the grass and tried to work out the kinks.  Then hit the warm ups and cool downs with the kids and some laps in between.  Finished up with Molly's Mile when I got home.  (Barefoot '11 63.5)(Landreth blue 631.65)

morning - 6 Trail to Nowhere.  Slept in this morning and caught my run starting at 7:00!  Ran from school on the trail to nowhere with a little extension.  Feeling decent.  After a little run this afternoon, should be ready to hit the miles tomorrow morning.  (Old Ohana -6)

afternoon - 8.25 Wendy's.  Good easy run with the team.  Last run from school for Corey, Trevor, and Ryan - kind of sad stuff; I'll miss those guys.  Then 8xbarefoot striders, followed Molly's Mile when I got home.  (Stratus grey 786.85)(Barefoot '11 64.5)

AM - 12 5xcemetary miles.  Crappy work out.  Warmed up a little bit more than the last couple times (made myself get up earlier so I could get a better warm up and cool in), so that was about 4.5 and then into my miles.  I felt tired and junk in the legs from Saturday still, but I have felt that way before and had it work out - so I hoped for the same.  1-5:27, felt like it was the first one, tired and a bit off, but I figured it was because it was first - and the time was okay, so I thought I would warm up into a solid workout.  2/3-5:27, Usually see an improvement here to lower 5:20's but nothing was loosening up.  Just felt warn down.  4/5-5:33, Upset at myself for the 4th one, letting it slip above 5:30, so I thought I would hammer down and bring the 5th one back to something a little better - nope.  Even though I felt I was really pushing, I could tell that it just tired legs today - instead of attacking and eating up ground, I was choppy and struggling to get even these times.  I am trying not to stress though.  All-in-all it is not the worst.  It is a tough loop, I am worn down, hard workout last Saturday, and higher mileage for a couple weeks.  (Last Ohana 120.5)

AM - 12 Junction.  Pretty chilly this morning - almost cold; could see breath, could have used gloves and long-sleeves.  Run was okay, but still a little tired.  (Altra 130)

afternoon - 3.5 Provo.  Ran from Provo HS back to the hotel.  (Boston 615.5) 

AM - 10 Provo.  Ran from the hotel out along University and back.  Pace was pretty decent as I think I am starting to get some legs back.  Rain was intense!  (Kinvara 371.15)

AM - 10 Provo.  Same run as yesterday.  On the way back I threw in 4xmile at 5:40 pace with 1 min. recovery.  Goal was to freshen up the legs with the cruise interval pace - felt pretty good and ready for two more good weeks.  (Kinvara 381.85)

Made it through State Track week (with some success and some failures for the team - and me!) 

Goals for next week:  Have a good strong week.  Mileage up around 90-95.  Keep hip feeling good.  Have a good attitude.  Strong workouts on the Upper Half and last long run on Saturday.
