Relentless

morning - 3.5 SLC.  Went up and ran barefoot at the Granite Park.  I had a little soreness in the quads that will be there for the next week or so, but other than that I felt fine.  Mentally I am ready to run hard again, but it will be a couple weeks before the legs are ready for anything quicker than easy pace.  (Barefoot '11 79.75)

morning - 5.75 Parkway.  Short version - 4 miles - (up to Maverick and then down and back around to the Elementary).  Felt pretty good today.  Recovery is going much better than I thought it would just after the race.  Got a few new shoes, so today I ran in the Adidas Oregon 11's.  They are kind of a retro looking shoe and they feel fast and light, which I like.  (Barefoot '11 80)(Oregon 5.25)

morning - 7.75 Dirt Miles.  Up to the dirt for practice.  The new Varsity guys are doing real well - they may develop into a decent squad.  A few of the girls need to push themselves a bit more.  (Barefoot '11 80.5)(NB 101 85)

morning - 3.5 Grass.  Barefoot day at practice.  Feeling solid still although my hip decided to hurt this morning.  It was weird because it hasn't hurt in quite awhile.  Will try a double today - hitting club later.  (Barefoot '11 84)

Lap Swim: 10 minutes

evening - 8.5 Club.  Ran down the trail to find Logan who had gone earlier - and bumped into him and ran a couple back where I found some of the boys and we ran the middle loop for 6 more.  Ended up being a little more than I had planned for the run, but I felt pretty good and my hip loosened up after a mile and felt much better.  (Rocket 8.5)

morning - 6.25 Middleton.  Ran from Middleton Park up the Turkey Farm Road for practice today.  Pretty weak turnout (maybe 20 kids).  But the run was a good workout for everyone 2 miles up the hill and back.  Molly's Mile with Ry when I got home.  She has been running a lot, 1+ miles pretty much every day.  No hip pain this morning.  (Mana 6.25)

lap swim: 10 min. 

AM - 10 Little Black Mt.  Joined Logan for the first of his two loops out in the desert.  The morning was great.  And I felt pretty good.  Hip had only a slight twinge for a little and then things went well.  Could have done (and wanted to do) more, but decided that I should hold off through the weekend - no need to do something stupid and then feel junky next week.  (NB 101 95)

lap swim: 15 min.  Feeling pretty good on my swims.  It isn't a long time, but I am starting to get a better feel for my breathing.  And the extra time today wasn't a big deal at all.

Good recovery week.  Feeling good now at the end of the week.

Goals for next week:  Bring the mileage up a bit, try not to push the pace too hard, but give myself one more week for that to come around.
