AM - Big Workout #15 8 Tinman (17).  Warmed up plenty easy and slow; still stiff from Friday and wasn't sure how this would go.  Got into the Tinman and it started to roll decent, but quickly went away.  So I just tried to hold it solid.  All the miles were around the 6:05 mark except mile 4 where I just seemed to fall apart.  I decided to either cut the workout or stop for just a second and regroup - so I stopped to regroup and kind of pulled it back together and hit a 6:20 and the next 4 weren't too bad.  Got back and took Molly around.  (Stratus grey 172.85)

evening - 9 Middleton.  Went out into Middleton and the legs were pretty shot.  (Landreth black  628.35)

AM - 13 Target.  Really was spent this morning.  Took a lot longer than it should have.  Finished by taking Molly around.  (Landreth orange 224.15)

afternoon - 9 Barefoot/grass.  Ran over to the city fields (just .5 away) and ran 7 barefoot miles and then ended with 8xbarefoot striders.  Temps have been very pleasant for summer the last two afternoons; clouds and breezy, but no rain.  (Cumulus white 677.85)  (Barefoot '09  85.75)

AM - 13 Coral Canyon.  Ran out on the CC trails out past the Gilbert building.  Had a bit more in my legs than the last few days.  Took Molly around. (Stratus black 357.6)

Pool Running - 5 min.  Did a little pool running for the first time this year.

afternoon - 9 Mill Creek.  Went up Mill Creek to the top pump.  A bit hotter today, but the breeze helped keep it bearable.  (Cumulus white 686.85)

AM - Big Workout #14 3xmile.  I am kind of down on myself for this workout.  It was supposed to be 7 miles at LT (5:30), but I could barely get the three in at 5:41,40, and 39.  So I just called her quits for today and came home.  Since Ally and I have decided not to go to San Fran, my workout schedule has become much more open, so I will come back and try this one again a couple times to work up to the 7 and bring the times down with a little fresher legs.  Did the workout on the Lava Point section of the River Trail - went out toward Coral Canyon and started my 2 mile Tinman, which were hideous and a warning of things to come, then down past the dump onto the trail.  Good place for repeats, but the body just couldn't give it today.  Came home and took Molly around.  (Triumph 72.85)

evening - 8.25 Club Run.  Went out into the fields.  I worked to keep everyone pretty slow and easy with my yelling and complaining - worked on everyone but the high schoolers!  (Stratus bee 686.5)

AM - 10 Green Springs.  Nice morning for a run, and I had a positive attitude since today is shorter on mileage!  As usual, took Molly around.  (Cumulus gold 380.15)

afternoon - 6 Sienna Hills.  Ran over to the park with Ry and pushing Laney.  Then they played on the playground while I ran 3 miles barefoot.  Ry was a bit tired on the way back, but she did a great job.  (Cumulus white 689.85) (Barefoot '09 88.75)

AM - 26.2 Green Valley.  Set out to run 25-30 this morning and it ended up landing right at a marathon.  Ran out through Green Valley and up the trail we used to run for Club Runs out of the old store and over the top of tortoise road, back into Washington and out to the Parkway and home through the desert - ended by taking Molly around.  Had a tough point at around 18 or so that I really just wanted to be done, seems that is always a difficult point in runs.  (Landreth orange 250.35)

Week was okay, but ended pretty tired.  Ready to get this stupid race done with.

Goals for the week:  taper a little.  Survive!
