Relentless

AM - 16.25 Dirt Mile. Ran before practice and then did 6xDirt Miles with the boys at 6:00-6:20. Off to camp. (mana 453.25)

afternoon - 5 Pine Lake. Went out and back down the main dirt road to camp. Altitude didn't seem to hit me too much. (Connect 582.5)

AM - 19.75 Pine Lake. Long run on the Great Western Trail. Dropped off the suburban and ran back to camp and the picked up the team and went 12 more with them. Felt very tired and flat throughout the run, but it was a very nice one temp-wise and such throughout. I'll take 45 degrees any time! (VertK 200.5)

afternoon - 3 Pine Lake. Easy out and back across the dam. The swims in the lake were very refreshing to say the least! (NB 101 653.75)

AM - 11 Pine Lake. Went out for 5 on my own then the team went up the mountain for 6 more. The weather has been amazing for all of camp. (Connect 592.5)

afternoon - 4 Pine Lake. After pics, we went down the trail from the lookout to where we saved the horse a few years ago. A great run. The trail was a little tough for some of the kids, but they made it. (NB 101 657.75)

AM - 5 Pine Lake. Travel day, so I didn't get much in. Last run at camp. I only got in 1 mile early, then we went up a new road that turned out to be quite a tough hilly run. Ten we packed up and headed home (eventually). It was a great camp and the kids did great. I wish somehow e could convince ever kid to do this; think they would really be hooked - but 40 kids in the mountains for 4 days is a pretty big chore as it is! (Connect 598.5)

Noon - 15.5 Pine Lake. As usual, I was pretty drained by this morning, and I just couldn't get out of bed. But I finally did get going just before noon. James and I ran up on top of the mountain to the Powell Point lookout at 10100 feet. It was a lot of fun running with him and the views were some of the best on earth - absolutely amazing stuff! Then I started running down the mountain and told them to pick me up on the way down. I thought I would get around 2-3, but as I picked up the pace, the goal became to get further and further. They finally caught me with 1 to go and I just ran it in. Time for the 10k down was right at 31 minutes. With miles between 4:50-5:20. Felt good to get a decent push in. (VertK 216)

AM - 5 Pine Lake. Not a whole lot this morning. Headed out across the dam and to the south. It has been good running up here and I really enjoyed the weather. (NB 101 662.75)

Week was pretty solid. Got a long run in and a pretty good push yesterday. Also got a few more miles than I thought I would which was nice.

Goals for next week - my 1/2 plans have probably changed. I will be up north for funeral on Friday, so i am going to try and get into the Provo River. Just have a solid week of running topped with a strong effort in a half.
