Relentless

AM - 14.5 Twix/Mustang Pass. A couple miles with Twix and then off to practice. Ran up GS and into the desert. Mustang Pass was nice, but it was pretty hot. The water stop at the golf course on the way back was a life saver. (Riders 608.75)

Got to see Ruth - she is in the States for a month during her break from teaching in Dubai. She was my first state champ and then ran at USU and coached at Corner Canyon before this expedition. She brought me a license plate to add to my collection!

AM - 8.5 Twix/Grass. HR a bit high this morning, just not really recovering like I would hope. Ran a few laps with Twix on the DM and then down to the grass for practice. Ended with 4 striders. Kids Club was good and the best thing is that it's over for the summer. (Pace 335.25)(barefoot '16 26.5)

afternoon - 2.5 DI. A good set of weights and the the hottest run of the year - 112!  (Adios 445)

AM - 8 Twix/BHNP. A bit with Twix and then over to the time trial. Team ran very well. I didn't get as many miles in as usual, but whatevs. (?)

AM - 13.5 Twix/Coral Canyon. Good run with Twix this morning. In fact, the body felt so good that it really amazed me. I have been, I've been asking for a few moments pain free like this - and I got it... Thanks. At practice the feel good mostly continued. 4xbarefoot striders. (Barefoot '16 27)(Peg black 584.5)

afternoon - 2.5 DI. Weights and DI loop. Hot again, but a small storm dropped some rain right at the end. (Adios 447.5)

AM - 9.5 Twix/Fields. Ran some DM's with Twix. Both achilles were really junky today #bumma. Ran with the girls out in the Fields because I had to be done a little earlier. It was fun though. Those girls are fun to be around. (Cumulus 144.25)

morning - 10 Twix/IceHouse. Ran a bit on the DM with Twix and then took Ry over to Green Springs to run with her friends. I was going to run Powerline, but I saw Mikey and Julien and jumped in with them to go up IceHouse. They took off strong and I just did my thing. Wasn't fast up the climb, but I ran the whole way and that is a pretty big accomplishment. On top, there was a nice cool breeze; it made the run very enjoyable, and I felt like I could have just kept going. Eventually flipped and then totally wiped out on the way down. It was a pretty crappy wreck. Bruised up the arm pretty good, knocked my breath out, scraped up my knee pretty good, and I fell/rolled so quick it totally through off my inner ear and made me way dizzy and I dry-heaved about 10 times (didn't hit my head though, so that's good).  It took awhile to get back going and I took it pretty easy the rest of the way. (Sense 58.75)

Decent week.  Have been way busy with cross and other stuff and it's put a lot on my mind. 

Goals for next week: XC camp coming up. My goal is to be patient with the kids, a few of them have gotten under my skin lately.
