Relentless

AM - 5.5 Parkway.  Good run with the dog on the Parkway.  The new nose harness thing is really effective at teaching her not to pull and make life hideous for the both of us.  (Riders 224.25)

afternoon - 6 Green Springs.  Up to GS in a downpour.  It was a very peaceful and enjoyable run after a long day of volleyball that further proved my advancing age.  I will say that once in awhile I can still do some damage on the court though.  (Adios 343.75)

AM - 6 Highland.  Took the dog into the desert.  She was a little antsy because this is where she used to get off leash and be able to run around, until she would come back.  So she wanted to go a bit, but actually did a pretty decent job of controlling herself.  (Peg 390.5)

afternoon - 6 Trail to Nowhere.  Kind of revamped this run.  Dropped off from the school down through the neighborhood instead of up Green Springs Dr.  It is much safer and will be the way the team will run around here from now on - it won't eliminate all contact with GS Dr., but it will greatly reduce it and that is good.  Then took it onto the trail and then connected to the TtN (which is still closed off because of flooding like 2 years ago).  A bit warmer today.  It was nice to have the sun hitting the body, but I forgot my sunglasses and that sucked.  (Kinvara3 813.75)

AM - 6.5 Parkway.  Took Twix on the Parkway again with a bit of an extension through the new neighborhood up there.  Wanted to get more, but I set my alarm wrong and slept in too much.  Only run today because of graduation - it is all done!  Except for me... because for some reason I keep coming back.  Achilles (right) has had a bit of improvement in the last couple days!  Keep it going.  (Riders 230.75)

AM - 6 Twix.  Took the dog out on her normal route with the extension through Muddy Sock in reverse.  Was a very nice morning.  (Kinvara blue 244.25)

morning - 6.5 Highland. Twix's longest run yet. She did pretty well on the trails when they were well worn. There were a couple dogs out in the sort without leashes that caused a few problems. (Riders 237.25)

afternoon - 8 City Wells. Nice and stormy run, but it never really rained. Hoped to see a tortoise in the desert, but nope. Negative split by about 5 minutes on the way back. Of course that is easy with the slow uphill pace I had on the way out. Surprisingly, I didn't feel the earthquake over by Caliente - I usually have a pretty keen sense of those types of things. (Kinvara white 411.75)

AM - 12.5 Prospector. End of a long week of running for me as of late. Steven, Logan and Caden came over and we had a good run in the desert. Nice and soaked down sand made one of the greatest trails even greater, (VertK 453)

Not a bad week. Building up of mileage continues. Achilles saw a bit of progress.

Goals for next week: get a bunch of stuff in before the weekend - which will. Then see me incapacitated for hopefully no more than 4-5 days.
