Relentless

AM - 10 Hell's Hole.  Got a few miles before practice around the neighborhood and then ran down into Hell's Hole just a little with the team and then a few more around the neighborhood after.  Really feeling pretty good right now.  (Barefoot '11 84.5)(Oregon 14.75)

lap swim: 10 mins.  A little more tired in the arms than last week.

afternoon - 6 Lower Grapevine - Long Hill.  Out for my first afternoon run in awhile.  While it was plenty hot, it wasn't too bad (much hotter days are to come - this week even).  Felt pretty good while taking it pretty easy; except up the hill - which is something I will be working on this summer).  (Triumph  745.75)

AM - 10 Grass/Dirt.  Went over to practice and ran some on the grass and then we went up to the dirt mile and ran 4 laps.  Boys looked strong and the girls responded well to a discussion about group running.  Finished with a little more.  (Barefoot '11 87)(NB 101 102.75)

lap swim: 15 mins.  Felt pretty strong swimming today.  It takes awhile, but then the time gets moving.  I would imagine somewhat like a person just getting into running and watching his watch all the time and it has only been a minute or two.

AM - 10.5 Green Springs.  Around the neighborhood before practice and then up to Green Springs.  Sent most of the group a little shorter and Tyson and I had an interesting talk on the beginnings of man.  Finished up with 8xbarefoot striders and some more around the neighborhood.  (Barefoot '11 88.5)(Mana 14.75)

lap swim: 10 mins.  Got a out little later in the afternoon to swim and wasn't sure if I wanted to, but decided to anyway and ended up enjoying it.

afternoon - 6 Lower Grapevine.  And then went straight from the pool to the run.  Took Lower Grapevine and Long Hill again (like the other day).  Hit the fountain at the Parkway for some water on my shirt - which I wore as a hat, it was a saving grace on a very hot day.  (Landreth black 1028.35)

morning - 5 Grass.  Kind of all over - grass, home, back and then around a bit at the kids' club.  (Barefoot '11 92)(Five Fingers 460.1)

lap swim: 10 mins.  Felt a bit off on my swim today.

evening - 10 Club.  Dang hot!  But a good run nonetheless.  Felt pretty decent other than the heat, which I am just too old to defeat any more.  (Oregon 24.75)

AM - 9 Fields.  Went out to PV Park for practice where I ran a loop to get some mileage numbers for the team and then we went out and I did it again.  Hip a little tight this morning and a little drained from last night's heat - but not bad.  (Barefoot '11 92.5)(Rocket 17)

lap swim: went to the lake with the fam and swam a little there - mostly just for fun to see what it was like to swim outside of a pool.

AM - 14 Utah Hill.  Ran the loop up on the front side of Utah Hill.  Felt pretty good throughout, but got tired at the end.  Up by Dead Cow Pass, a little coyote ran out on the dirt road in front of us for a few hundred meters and then he slid to the side trail and we ran right along side of him for a little more.  Something was obviously wrong with him to let us be that close to him.  (NB 101 116.5)

Pretty good week getting back into a little more of a schedule.

Goals for next week: Mileage right around the same 80-85'ish.  Keep an eye on the hip and not let it get hurting too much.  Get to the weight room 2x's.  And maybe get into a little bit of a workout one day.
