Relentless

AM - Sandy. No real rhyme or reason to this run. Just wanted to get a longer one in since it will be my only run today. Started off going down Newcastle and down to Fort Union. Then up Creek Rd and over around Cottonwood Heights. then finished coming back up Wasatch and through Granite. At first I was pretty flat and had to really avoid looking at the watch to see only 1 mile go by. After about 7 or so, though, I just relaxed and tried to enjoy it a bit. (Kinvara White 266.25)

morning - 10.25 Wasatch. Did the same thing as Sat without the extras. Although I was wiped out from Lagoon yesterday and getting out a bit later, the run was pretty good. Last day of my recovery week - which stretched between the end of last week and the start of this week. Hopefully I'll end the week solid. (Kinvara Green 66.25)

morning - 11.5 Coral Canyon. Pretty unmotivated to run. But got out and just kind of went with it. It was nice not to have a watch on and just run - especially knowing that I wasn't going very quick. (Kinvara3 716.25)

afternoon - 7 ND. Hoped a storm would develop, but nothing. Still the clouds were very nice and a little breeze made the afternoon much nicer than other times. After a couple days of the achilles feeling decent, it has been poor today. (F50 686.5)

morning - 13 Middleton/Parkway. Kind of a guess on the distance. Slow dragging myself out again this morning, but once I got going a few rain drops slipped down and kind of got me pumped about being out and I just kept going. If we're lucky maybe we'll actually get a rain storm. (Ronin 405.25)

afternoon - 9 City Wells. Just an absolutely beautiful run. Timed the run to get in the rain that was attempting to develop. For almost the entire run up and back in the desert, there was a constant sprinkle going. Nothing crazy, but really cooled the temps and made the desert smell alive. Could have gone all day (slowly!). (Landreth Blue 1121.9)

AM - 12 Mustang Pass. Finally up early enough to watch a sunrise, and it was a beaut. Beautiful morning in the desert. Could have just hiked around all morning - hiked, because I am pretty tired. Got back and Ry had just started her run, so I jumped in with her for a little. (Stratus black 1120.45)

afternoon - 6 ND. Waited for a bit to see if any storms were going to develop' but nothing. So headed out on the usual. Not too killer hot though. (Boston 1106.75)

AM - 19.25 Quail. Glad the week of running is done. It seemed like every run this week was a chore, especially this morning. Had to drag myself out of bed after a strange dream that made it seem like I was never even asleep. The had to run on my own since the lads are out of town. I was supremely slow for the first five plus miles, but then was able to get to a normal pace. At least it is way pretty out by the lake. (Kinvara Silver 433.75)

Not my favorite week of running. But I got some runs in,

Goals for next week: get to some workouts and make running more enjoyable.
