Relentless

AM - 11 Virgin Rim Trail. Awesome run with some of the Renegades up on Cedar Mt. Checked out the new location for camp and then hit the trail. It was nice and cool getting started. Tough running from the bottom up to the lake was tough, and the boys were on fire today and killed the trail, leaving me in the dust. Felt good and really had fun.  Happy Independence Day!  (Sense 36.25)

morning - 7 Sienna Hills. Pretty low motivation to run today since I can't be at practice. Slept in until 7 and then got out with Twix. For how decent my hips and achilles felt yesterday the opposite today. Finally warmed up after some vey slow miles. Then joined both Laney and Elin for their mile runs. (Riders 576.75)

morning - 5 Parkway. Just kinda chilling with Twix. Had a sighting of a bunch of the team out doing their thing. Good job!  (Pace 301.75)

morning - 7 ND. Molly joined us for a half mile, then Twix and I went up into the North Desert. Had another sighting of a bunch of the team. Legs felt like they had a little in them today off of the lower miles this week. And I had a little desire once I got going, so that was nice. (Cumulus 109)

AM - 7 Highland. Nice run with Twix this morning up onto the trail. On the way back spotted a bunch of the boys. (Peg black 541.5)

afternoon - swim for 15 mins. It been awhile since I swam, so it was a bit harder. 

AM - 15.75 Coral Canyon. Well, that was sucky.  Ran just a mile with Twix and then wanted to get a 2 hour run in. Went out to the Junction and up over Gilbert. Then down into CC by the elementary and looped back to the Junction and home.  Never felt good at all. The pace was super slow throughout. I don't care to be running a PR, I would just like to be able to run and not feel like a pile of crap. I've got some more blood test at the end of the month and maybe that will bring some answers as to why I can't heal or get in any shape. I know I haven't run hard in 6 months, but it's been a couple months of decent running and I should be able to do better than I am. Kinda bummed, but looking for continued improvement... I mean, at least I ran for 2 hours today, that's something. (Cumulus 124.75)

Felt like it was a good recovery week (until today).

Goals for next week: just keep doing whatever I do. It will be good to get back to practice.
