AM - 16.5 Parkway/Dirt Mile. Went out on the Parkway with lots of extensions. Right Achilles is still hurting a bit - not killer, but too much. Then over to practice (and back) with Ry where we ran 50 mins with 15 at Tinman. Working on team, team, team. (Barefoot '14 26.5)(kinvara3 704.75)

afternoon - 6 Highland via Grapevine. Pretty nice run. You know it is warm out, but when you take care of yourself the hardest part is actually getting out the door. (Oregon 783.75)

AM - 13.5 Clyde's Tempo. Ran Clyde's loop for our tempo with The Circle and then around a little at practice and club. First mile of the tempo was much quicker than the first two times (5:35, where it should be), but then I struggled to keep it there. The bigger weeks have added up and I am a bit tired. Ave. for 5 was 5:40. (Lyte33 44.5)

afternoon - 6 ND. Not a shabby run. Although it isn't as hot as it could/will be, I feel that I am handling the heat pretty well. (F50 679.5)

AM - 16 Hell's Hole/Grass. Pretty wiped out this morning, so I think I may take the afternoon off. We'll see. Super easy down into Hell's Hole and along the river across and up the Dam Rd. Then barefoot on the grass for 50+ minutes. Had good conversations with lots of different groups of runners today; that was nice. (Ronin 392.25)(Barefoot '14 34)

AM - 18.5 Middleton/Dino Tracks. Around 9 out and back into Middleton, then over to practice where we ran a 60 min run into the desert in Dino Tracks trail with a strong finish. Pretty good run and pretty tired now. (Barefoot '14 34.5)(Kinvara silver 414.5)

AM - 12 Parkway/Region Course. Slept in a little since I've got plenty of miles this week and just ran the Parkway. Over to practice at the Bloomington Hills North Park, we ran cruise intervals of 5x4:30 at 5:45 pace. Group had a little harder time staying together today and I think that is because we were missing a few people that would usually hold it together a little more - but everyone still put in solid efforts.

AM - 26.25 Clyde's Marathon. Didn't get the message about the changed start time, so boys graciously came back and gabbed me - didn't matter much, because I wasn't up to their pace today and ran most of the long run by myself. Plan was to run a marathon - many asked us why... Our thinking, nothing replicates the last 10k of a marathon like the last 10k of a marathon. And since I do pretty decent at getting some mileage in, and have used this in the past, I was on board and plan on doing hopefully 2 more this macro-cycle. I pretty much got into 6:30 pace and just stayed there the whole run. Never felt great, never really to bad... just kind of did it. At 10k left I looked at my average (which was 6:26) and decided I was going to try and push to drop it - whatever it would be, fine; but drop it. I did pretty good for three, then up into Bloomington Hills I slipped a bit, so the last 1 1/2 I brought it back to end right at 6:26 sneaking it in under 2:49 by a few seconds. Finished with a little more because I like quarters, halves and even mileage (whatever, my own stupid thing). Ran in a new pair of Kinvara 5's (my first pair got traded in because of a defect). (Kinvara Green 26.25)

Happy about the week and today's run (even though it wasn't great, it was something decent). Got good mileage this week and almost all on singles. Feeling pretty healthy with just a bit if a twinge in my Achilles that acted up a bit on today's run.

Goals for next week: I am going to use it a bit of a recovery week. So mileage should be at 100'ish. And I would like a decent 5k on the 4th.
