Relentless

AM - 16.25 4xDirt Mile. Ran the Parkway warm up as usual and then 2 at Tinman. Felt pretty good, but Achilles still has some pain - I can't seem to get rid of it. My goal was to be a little more aggressive at the first of the set and try to bring the time down even if it meant a smaller spread. 1-5:31, 2-:25, 3-:16, 4-:15. So I was able to cut a little off the first and still was solid through the whole set. Cooled home and with the team over to their workout. (Barefoot '13 73.5)(Mana 424)

afternoon - 6 DI/AC. First afternoon practice for the team. I needed ice for tomorrow, so I drove over early and then ran 3 by myself and then with the team. First of many times this year for these runs. Weights after, 2 sets lighter weight. (Free 789.95)

AM - 11.75 Parkway/Grass. Not a lot of zip in the legs after the heat and weights and repeats of yesterday, but got some mileage in before practice. Then 4 on the grass and 8xbarefoot striders. (barefoot '13 79)(Connect 564)

afternoon - 5 Grapevine. Out to lower Grapevine in the heat after a full day of bathroom remodeling. (Hyper speed 381)

AM - 12.5 Clyde's. Good Circle run. Then just a little with the team as they warmed for their 30/30. (F50 519.25)

PM - 5 Grapevine.  Got out later, 8pm, for a run out to lower Grapevine after a long day tiling a bathroom.  More to do tomorrow.  Although I was worn out, it was nice to get out and run.  It may have helped that it was overcast and the sun was setting.  (Kinvara 857.4) 

AM - 13 30/30. My warm was so slow this morning, but the workout got going good. Ran a 30/30. Hit 20 and ran out of time. Covered the distance good (hitting around 155-160 meters) without too much of a prob and the recoveries were easy. By the end I could tell I was working harder, but I didn't have time to max out - so next week I'll be up 15 mins earlier on this one. Really enjoyed the workout. Then switched shoes because they were soaked from the wet grass and headed over to practice where we ran into Hell's Hole and did 5xbounders and 5x10sec hill bursts. (Afoot '13 79.5)(Free 795.95)(zero 212.5)

afternoon - 8.5 PVHS/AC. Ran to and from practice with AC for the run. And weights too. a little rain on the way of (after a ton earlier) which made it nice and humid. (Landreth blue 970.15)

AM - 12.5 Vernon Worthen. 3 around by the college before practice and then we went up Diagonal and then up the turtle road. Super muggy today. (Barefoot '13 80)(Kinvara Lime 186.25)

AM - 20 SGM. Just Logan and I out this morning. And that was about it as we only had ten road kills today (guess everyone was up at Bryce). Ran 11 at just a normal pace from the bottom of Veyo and then 3/4 up Winchester we moved into a tempo. Good to see Logan back running like a monster - he killed it, putting 10+ seconds on me per mile. My tempo was okay. I was strongest on Diagonal and through town, but still a long way to go. But I am glad Logan dragged me along. (Kinvara silver 109)

Pretty happy with the week. Workouts were good and solid mileage. Achilles just holding about the same.

Goals for next week: 110'ish miles again if life allows, either a solid workout Monday or maybe a 5K. And I'd also like to keep progressing on the 30/30 workout.
