Relentless

AM - 21.5 Pine Valley (Base).  A great way to start the week - hard to get up early, of course; but once we got going it was good times.  Kyle joined the Circle for the day and we had a good run from Silver Reef along the base of PV and ended at the pavement by the water tower - where Clyde had a cold gato and a muffin for us (nice!).  Run was hilly, cool in places, and a nice pace throughout - working at times, but nothing crazy ever.  Saw a big Tom a few miles away from Grapevine Ranch (I think that's the name of the place).  Good start to the week.  Worked the hip, abductors, and hammy/butt with the tennis ball big time Saturday and today after the run.  Seems to help it a bit.  (Stratus black 650.45)

mid-morning -5lbs.9oz. 18 1/2" Elin Mary Holt - 5 weeks early; healthy, strong and the end of a stressful month (2+ years).

PM - 7 Parkway.  Ran Molly's Turf run and then Parkway.  Felt a little kink in the hip and a bit sloppy throughout.  (Cumulus gold 544.25)

morning - 13 2xParkway.  Ran over to practice at Washington Elem. where I joined the boys for a 6 miler (Parkway and an extension).  Then I tried to get a 5 mile tempo in on the reverse direction of the Parkway.  It really didn't go too great.  First two miles were slow, but working very hard up hills.  The third was good, using a downhill to hit a fast mile, but then the 4th I kept struggling.  Tried to keep relaxed and just let it happen and I held a TM - not what I wanted, but okay.  Fell off more after another 1/4 so I called it quits.  Jogged home and Molly's Mile.  Not too stressed about not hitting the workout.  It's been a high mileage situation the last few days and a stressful couple days with a lack of sleep.  (old Ohana -13)

AM - 10.5 Treadmill.  Got up early and got some running in this morning.  Then ran over and got practice started.  Al and Elin come home today!  (five fingers 328.6)

evening - 5 Grass.  Ran over with the girls on their bikes to the ball fields and ran some barefoot.  (Five Fingers 330.6)(Barefoot '10 56.5)

AM - 8.5 Lower Grapevine.  Ran easy out to grapevine this morning and then to Zion's with the team.  Hip feeling about the same - a bit sore at first, but then warms up.  (Barefoot '10 57)(Triumph 503.75)

AM - 15 Fields.  Good turnout for a morning run from my house out into the Fields.  Hit a section with 2 miles at 6:00, 2 at 5:30, and another 2 at 6:00 with Aaron and Haydo.  Felt good and pretty easy to get the body rolling.  Nice fun run.  (Ohana racers 254.05)

Nice week for running - even better week for the family!

Goals for next week:  Do whatever I can - the best I can, with what I am!
