AM - 11.5 Middleton.  Out and back into Middleton and stopped off at the ball fields and ran 3 barefoot including 8xbarefoot striders.  Felt okay, didn't push anything, but the striders seemed to loosen me up a bit.  (Barefoot '11 67.5)(Altra 147.75)

AM - 11 4xCemetery miles.  Last major interval session this morning.  Warmed up with 5 miles on the Parkway and then got into my miles.  Wasn't sure what would happen after last weekend's run but having a few days to get the legs back.  1-5:15, this totally surprised me.  I felt strong, but not like I was ripping it up; in fact, I backed off a little and didn't feel totally warmed up yet.  2-5:17, the first one scared me a little.  I was worried that it was much too quick and I would struggle the rest, so I backed off a little and thought I would be low 20's - so the time again surprised.  3-5:14, pushed a little and I was also a little tired.  4-5:12, finished up strong and pleased with the overall workout.  At the same time, I still am worried the workout; was it too strong, did I push too much?  I think those are just pre-race jitters however.  Cooled with just over a mile with a long way home and had to hurry to get to practice started and a dang all-day school meeting.  (Last Ohana 131.5)

morning - 4 Grass.  Just ran 3 at practice over on the grass (3.5 with warm up) and then with some of the kids groups on our first day of Summer Running Club - very big turnout, bigger than last year.  (Barefoot '11 70.5)(Five Fingers 458.6)

evening - 10 Club.  The usual loop.  Nice to run with the crew again.  Temps seemed a little warm, but they were actually really nice - I just haven't run in the afternoons lately.  (Altra 157.75)

morning - 10.25 Turtle Creek/Parkway.  Ran around the neighborhood for a little and then over to practice where we ran over to Turtle Creek and back.  I finished with the Parkway.  A little flat in the legs - kind of surprised since I iced last night.  (Kinvara 399.65)(Barefoot '11 71)

AM -15.5 DC.  With the Circle and also Taylor Stout, went from Dixie Center out into Bloomington (through Bloomington Hills).  Felt a bit tight and slow today so I wasn't too stoked about any tempo, plus it was a nice morning and nice to just run and chill with the all the sailors.  But on the way back I decided to throw a little out any way.  So went 5:45, 5:40, 5:35, 5:30.  Nothing crazy but some turnover.  Felt okay for parts and then tired for parts.  Logan then dragged Clyde and I back to the DC going about 6:10-20.  (Boston 647.5)  Bostons are pretty much on the way out - bottom has been dead for some time, but now they are starting to come unstitched here and there.  But got more mileage out of them that I thought for a lightweight trainer (and I will probably hit a bit more in them) - got a few new pairs of Adidas coming soon.  I am liking their lightweight fast feel.

Week was about what I would want.  Mileage was controlled, workout was good, hip is feeling good, practice and club got started off well.

Goals for next week:  Keep improving the feel of the legs (more icing, rolling - like I did today, and stretching), get ready mentally and physically for the big day.
