Relentless

AM - 21.1 Green Valley.  7:16 ave for whole run.  Not bad, but it took some time to get moving.  First 14 seemed to be more work than they should have.  The last 7, however, were much better.  I could feel that my form was a bit off with my feet out in front a bit too much.  Stride count was 84 taken 2 times. (Cumulus orange 162)

AM - 11.2 (4 with team). Went down on dogpound and took Mosquito Trail then around Sandberg's Pond.  Came back and ran Washington Loop with team. (Landreth 257.25)

PM - 6.3 on Washington Parkway.  Finished with 8x100 meter grass striders.  Feels good to get the shoes off and run barefoot a little.  (Cumulus 423.7) 

morning - 17.5 from Enterprise Res. to Veyo on Goldstrike road (dirt road).  Good fun club run, but we weren't really prepared for it.  I was already a bit tired and then didn't have enough fluids.  Also it got a bit hot.  Another struggle was stopping and starting wasn't helping me flow at all.  By the last section, I was done.  I really liked the area of the run.  And the best part was the cool-down in the stream at the end.  The rest of the day I drank like a fish.  (Cumulus orange 179.5)

morning - 11.6 (2.5 with team) Grapevine/Junction.  Took team out near Grapevine Springs to measure a run and then they headed back.  Continued on up hill and into Coral Canyon and then basically ran the 2nd half of the Junction run.  Tried to run Grapevine Hill hard as to move into some hill workouts soon.  Still felt dehydrated and took it easier.  (Cumulus red 102.05)  

PM - 9.2 Club run from store and around Entrada (Landreth 266.45)

morning - 8 (2 w/ team) up Millcreek Trail.  Ran into Clyde a little up the trail and he took it easy with me for a little. (Cumulus 431.7)

afternoon - 5.1 treadmill 1%. Started easy and then took it to about 7 min pace for most of the run. (Glycerin 439.45)

AM - 16 from Clyde's up Skyline, down Main, onto River Trail and back up Green Springs into Middleton.  Took it easy and just ran how we felt.  Some miles near the end under 7, but nothing spectacular. (Sumulus orange 195.5)

New record weekly mileage!  Some of the miles weren't that sharp due to high miles for two straight weeks and the struggles from Weds.' run, but I am still pleased to have made it through.

Goals for next week: back down the miles a bit (90) and get a little sharper for the 1/2 in two weeks.  Get a few 800's in on Weds. and have a good 20 miler on Monday.  Later in the week we are headed up to Idaho for a reunion, so I want to enjoy whatever terrain we get into up there.
