Relentless

AM - 13.75 Hell's Hole.  Started with 3 on the treadmill before practice.  Took the kids down into Hell's Hole for a longer run (for some of them), ending with 8xbarefoot striders.  (Barefoot '11 108)(Altra 182.25)

afternoon - 9 Lower Grapevine/CC.  Good run this afternoon.  Hip and hamstring felt pretty good (taking care with ice and Wintercrest) and warmed up quickly.  The weather was really nice out today so I added more - went down to the bottom of the Silver Mine Trail in Coral Canyon and back.  Pace was strong for an afternoon run.  Moderately overcast with a nice breeze from the northeast (but the rain clouds kept hanging to the north).  No swim today because Elin wouldn't take a 2nd nap clear until Ally got back from school and I was out on my run, and I got a lot of miles in today so I don't want to overdo it.  (Stratus black 842.7)

AM - 10.25 Dirt Mile.  Just under 3 on the tready and then practice to the dirt mile and 3 laps.  Added more on the way home.  Glad it was a single day; although I don't hurt, I am tired. (Barefoot '11 108.5)(Landreth black 1031.1)(NB 101 167.25)

lap swim: 10 mins.

morning - 11.75 Middleton.  Good run with Ryan, Devin and Steven joining us.  Devin is running very well and should really be in the mix for a top 5 spot at State (hopefully 3!).  8xbarefoot striders.  (Barefoot '11 110)(Oregon 43.75)

lap swim: 15 mins.

afternoon - 7 Lower Grapevine/CC.  I think today may have been the end of our clouds for awhile.  I wasn't able to get out until later in the afternoon and they were mostly on there way out.  Didn't really hit the hills hard like I need too, but it felt like more of a go through the motion type of day.  (Triumph silver 583.8)

morning - 4 Grass.  Nice grass running, but nothing else.  I am just a little bothered by my hamstring and it worries me that it is still bugging (although there has been improvement).  So I am trying not to stress about only going so little this morning.  (Barefoot '11 114)

lap swim: 20 mins.

evening - 10 Club.  Another strong club run - 6:24 ave.  Warm, but held up pretty good.  Hip and hammy also held up pretty good.  (Rocket 34.75)

morning - 8.5 SGM finish.  Met at Vernon Worthen for practice.  Ran a bit barefoot and then up the course for 3.5 and back.  Kind of a wimpy total for today, but needed to plan out camp stuff and I decided not to throw in another run just to keep the leg stuff feeling decent.  (Barefoot '11 115.5)(Rocket 24)

lap swim: 10 mins.

AM - Utah Hill.  Didn't really want to go 20 this morning, but Logan and Clyde were and so I just joined in.  Turned out okay.  Feel a bit beat up and tired at the end of the week, but it was actually nice to get a long run in and the temps were as great as you could ever wish for in mid-July.  (NB 101 187.5)

Week started strong (which may have contributed to my tiredness) and held up okay.  Good to get in the weight room again - at least as far as I think it helps my overall strength and my hips a little.

Goals for next week:  Want some decent mileage.  Don't want to go overboard on Thursday night so I can run decent up at Enterprise on Saturday.
