AM - 16 Twix/Mustang Pass. Took the dog out for around 4.5 and then ran Mustang Pass at a very leisurely pace - a few guys were struggling today with the heat - ending with some striders. Pretty warm out, but I felt pretty good. (Barefoot '15 22)(Peg black 91.75)

AM - 16.25 Sullivan Tempo/Grass. Ran a few with Twix around the neighborhood and then went and got James and we headed down Hells Hole for a tempo. Did much better this week because James was there. Got off to a better start and then settled into 6:04 at both corners. Then coming up the Dam Rd. I could feel James not too far back, so that me pushing instead of relaxing. Got to the top with 6:11. Then down to 6:04 at the bridge and finished with 6:02. Would liked to have finished with a five in front, but it's coming - a 20+ second improvement over the last two weeks and the last two miles under 6:00 show progress, and that's all you can ask for - keep progressing. Then barefooting for practice and a long day of running club races followed by a big hike up Pine Valley on Browns Point Trail that took pretty much all day. (Barefoot '15 26.25)(Kinvara grey 49.25)

AM - 17.25 BV/Dirt Mile. Twix and I went out into Buena Vista and loops back through Washington. Then onto the Dirt Mile for practice with a progression run of just over 5.5 miles. The pace dropped from 7:20 to 6:25'ish by the 5th mile and under 6 for the next half. Very solid work from the boys. ?-could they do it without me there keeping track of them? Finished up with some striders. I've actually like the transition of our strider days; it helps me open up the legs and work out some of the stiffness at the end of a harder effort.

AM - 17.25 Parkway/Middleton. I thought I was going to get to sleep in today, but last night Ry reminded me she needed to run early to head out on the trek. So Miles and Rylee and I got out early and got 6 in on the Parkway. Then Twix and I got in 4.5 more around her loop. Then headed over to practice where we hit an easy 45 minutes out and back into Middleton with a good group of the guys. Hopefully the girls got back... I didn't know where they were and I needed to get home to send a couple of my girls off to their Grandma's. But the team was in the capable hands of Vis, so they probably are alive somewhere.

AM - 10 DM/Chuckwalla. Slept in a bit and just got a bit over 3 in with Twix. Then a good trail run with the team out at Chuckwalla. The guys I was with made it all the way to Scout Cave where I spun a yarn and told the boys it was called that because back in the '40's a scoutmaster killed 5 scouts in their sleep in what we would now called an incident of PTSD... It was great stuff; they totally believed me and would have still if I wouldn't have told the story to Vis when we got back and they overheard me. But I had to brag about my good story! Bad news though, Skylar out kicked me in a freshman race up the hill to the trailhead in a true unplanned "he made a move and I went with him from the back of the pack uphill kicker"... But Andrew did NOT catch me! (VertK 463)

AM - 19.5 Santa Clara. Met up with Logan and James at the DC and ran out through Green Valley, Santa Clara and Ivins. Really good run except Logan bawling that we ran 1 block from his house and he could have slept in. Nothing killer, but we did pick up the pace the last few miles and I felt decent, but also pleasantly tired for the week and run by the end. (Peg black 110.25)

Pretty pleased with the week. Goal was a recovery week, and although the the miles were moderately high for that, it was all on singles. So that's the recovery. And I am feeling like I can take it up to 110 without much trouble.

Goals for next week: so that's where I will go... Will be in Sandy for the 4th, so I may run their race as well and see how I stack up to last year on such little training.
