Relentless

AM - 12 Junction. Out to the junction and Coral Canyon early before head up to scout camp. Run was pretty good. (Kinvara Green 70.25)

afternoon - 12.25 Navajo Lake. Up to Navajo, and I ran over to Cascade Falls and then a bunch of miles on the Virgin River Rim Trail. Super pretty. I have never spent any time up here and it is just beautiful. The trail was fun and runnable, but very tough. If trail races were really like this and not on just made up trails up mountains, I think I would really get into them. (VertK 321.25)

AM - 14 Navajo. Went from Navajo down to Duck Creek and beyond and then back. It was basically all up hill into a hideous wind (that had blown the whole day yesterday and all night). Made it super tough and I was way slow. Of course the 9500 ft. made it tougher too! (Kinvara Green 84.25)

afternoon - 6 Navajo. I headed off the mountain today since Ally is taking off tomorrow. On the way back, I pulled off at some random dirt road and went out on it. It was way to close to lunch and my stomach was jacked. My legs were dead. And I was chaffing like a beast. So about a mile into it, I went Trevor-style(for just over 4 miles) and things got much better. It was pretty crazy and something I never thought I would do. Startled a huge buck about 5 feet off the trail resting under a tree - scared me to death. It was one of about 20 deer I saw the past 3 runs. (VertK 327.25)

AM - 14.5 Middleton/Grass. Good run into Middleton and then on the grass for practice. Couldn't go barefoot because of the cut in my foot is still giving me some problems. But it was a good relaxed run nonetheless. It was nice to be able to breathe and the temps were just absolutely awesome. (Kinvara Green 98.75)

PM - 5.5 Parkway. Didn't get out until later, but it was such amazing temps I could have gone for ever... Other than the fact that I have run over 60 miles in 3 days and am a bit tired. Front-loading the miles this week to give me a very easy end to the week. (F50 673.5)

AM - 16.5 Hell's Hole/Grass. I was just wiped out this morning from a stupid neighbor dog that barked all night. I don't mind barking in the day, but at night... And for 5 hours straight. Come on people, seriously, do something. But I got up and had an nice easy run along the river in Hell's Hole. Then ran over to practice with Ry and we did 4,5,6,5,4 of cruise intervals on the grass. It was a nice workout, and I was very pleased with the whole scene! (Lyte33 31)

AM - 15.25 Mall/Sullivan. Ran just out past the mall and back today. Then down to practice at Sullivan Park where we took the unfinished trail up Hell's Hole (that trail is going to the bee's knees when it is done - I was always thinking they needed to get finishing connecting the two parts, but they are actually putting in a foot bridge there. It will be awesome). Then we looped up around the Dam Rd. and extended just a little before finishing with a solid pace for 10 minutes including a nice little Indian run to keep the group together. Only thing that was bad was that we were missing a few key people. (Kinvara White 232.75)

afternoon - 6 ND. Didn't get much in - but I knew I wouldn't, so that's why I ran my week the way I did. Warming up again. (Landreth blue 1112.9)

Accomplished pretty much all I could today. So that was good.

Goals for next week: same sort of mileage with some workouts.
