AM - 15 Highland/CC. Beautiful Memorial Day run commemorated with the American flag shorts. Love this country, love our freedoms, and love those who sacrificed their lives to give us them. (Kinvara white 205)

AM - 6 Pine Valley. This run has the combo of why I love/hate trail running. The boys wanted to get a few more runs before they head out on their missions, so this morning we went up PV from the Oak Grove side. It is a brutal run/hike climbing like 5000 feet inthe 3 miles, which means it is mostly hiking. But it is so beautiful up there. Even with a bit of dust and smoke in the air, you can see everything for 180+ degrees; basically all of Washington County and down to e Grand Canyon. The run down was fun but treacherous and my legs were wasted. Just over 2 hours up and down. Stopped at the stream for a quick wash off. And I was the only one with the guts to get in. (VertK 309)

noon - 8 City Wells. Quick turn around, but I wanted to get a couple more miles in and it is hot today. Full summer afternoon run mode with hat, water bottle, desert run and a stop at the parkway fountain to soak the hat. (Free 932.7)

morning - 8 Parkway. Out just a little later since Elin was/is sick and I waited for Al to finish up her run. Left my watch in Krenny's car yesterday after the run, Ally's wasn't charged and I couldn't even find my stopwatch, so I really don't have a clue of the time on the tempo this morning, but it got me pretty tired and I wanted to throw up at the end, so I think it was decent. I usually have a pretty decent idea of pace, but my Hawk-o-meter is off when I am tired or sore and today I was a bit sore from the mountain run yesterday... But out on a limb, I would say 5:45 pace. I don't know, could have been worse, but at least I did it. And I saw a folding camp chair fall out of an rv by Maverick, so I grabbed it and yelled, but he didn't see me. So I hid it in the bushes and went back and grabbed it - nice find. (HyperSpeed 2 473.5)

afternoon - 6 ND. Took the watch out (Krenny brought it over earlier) to measure my usual summer afternoon run. Glad I did because everything was a mile off (but on the good end!) 4 was actually 5... and so on. Pretty tired and beat up in the legs. (Landreth blue 1096.9)

AM - 10.75 Fields. Via Hell's Hole. I can't believe how sore my legs are from the mountain run. My quads are just toast. Today's run was very slow, but it was nice out in the Fields and along the river as I came back. So that was nice. (Kinvara silver 377.5)

afternoon - 6 ND. Another slow run up in. The North Desert. My legs may snap out of this eventually. (Boston 1096.25)

noon - 6 ND. Took the girls camping last night up to Black Rock and had a great time with horses and deer and all sorts of tree climbing. Anyway, sort of front loaded the week so I didn't need to run up there and got another slow six in when we got home. The higher mileage (yikes, 80 is high... After this Spring it is), the heat and the tired legs from Pine Valley have made this week's runs less than desirable. (F50 668)

AM - 18.25 Airport. Finally ran with a group today. It was more like the lost boys, since The Circle hasn't run together for so long. It was great to have Hayden (and Ashley) run with us too. The run was longer an quicker than I was really ready for. Averaged 6:30 for the whole thing; just pretty consistent there for most of the run. Good end to the week. (Kinvara3 674.75)

A good building week.

Goals for next week: mileage will depend on how the body is feeling. Basically this week or next I will be around 90 with the other week holding as a kind of recovery. And XC starts! I'll state it here... A few teams have a shot for the state title - PV is absolutely one of them. Whomever works the hardest and stays healthy will come out with it. We have the opportunity to be really good this year.
