Relentless

AM - 5 Anaheim.  Ran up from the hotel past Disneyland and back with a few side roads to make the five.  Felt very good.  Kinks worked their way out within a mile and I took a look at the watch and found I was running in the 6's without even working.  (Landreth orange 332.6)

Nothing today.  After yesterday's run, I felt my back tighten up and start pinching off a nerve.  Within a couple minutes I could barely move.  I don't know why it happened and it was weird that it happened while I was already awake not while I was sleeping like happens sometimes.

AM - 5 Anaheim.  Same run as last time.  Back is still hurting a bit, but has started to relax its death grip.  (Landreth orange 337.6)

AM - 5 Anaheim.  Again the same run.  A crappy run.  Legs are pretty spent still.  (Landreth orange 342.6)

Decided to sleep in so I wouldn't fall asleep on the drive home.  Probably a good move since the drive was a beastly 10 hour marathon through the traffic, heat, and flat tires.

AM - 17.35 Steven Abraham Lincoln Hooper Memorial Run.  This year the run lost a lot of its luster.  I ran hideously; my stomach was twisting and the legs had nothing - truthfully one of the worst runs I have ever had.  I did enjoy the ice-bath in the stream at the end, however.  (Landreth 923)

The many, many, many hours on my feet at Disneyland didn't let me recover like I had hoped.  But I had fun, and it was nice to take a little break.

Goals for next week:  Hit my hard workouts good.  I've decided that to do this and because of the intense summer heat, I am going to have to let go of the big mileage and back down to 100-110's.  So that's what I'll be looking for.
