late Sunday PM/early Monday AM - 21.15 on the Green Valley Run (dogpound direction).  Didn't want to get up at 3:30 and do my long run before practice, so I went out late Sunday night.  This run helped me decide I pretty much suck.  First half was good, second half was wretched.  (Cumulus red 208.1)

morning - 5.5 (w/ team) Green Springs.  Took it at a nice easy pace and talked with one of my girls about how to improve her running.  In retrospect, a lot of the things I said could be helpful to me after my bad run last night.  (Cumulus orange 263.5)

morning - 5.05 Fire Station Hills x 8 (w/team). (Cumulus red 213.15)

evening - 9.5 5x1000's.  Went out to the fields to find the flattest place in So. Ut. to run this workout, 2 miles warmup.  Then went into 1000's - which are .68 miles roughly.  It was pretty tough, and I am not sure if I liked doing the speed workout more or less on the roads than the track.  Cooled down with 2 minutes between and then finished the run home.  1-3:39, an ant that climbed aboard as I dropped my water bit me and it cost me a few seconds when I stopped to kill the sucker.  2-3:44, notice that the distance between .5 and .68 is tough (slight uphill on this one - Chipman's hill). 3-3:39, brought it back down and I felt the best on this one.  4-3:48, starting to get pretty pooped.  5-3:52 didn't have anything left and just tried to gut it out as much as possible.  I think I'll give this one more try and see how it goes.  Overall, not so impressed with myself.  My times should have been better.  But I am glad that I didn't let myself talk me out of the last one.  (Landreth 336.5)

morning - 5.75 (5 w/team) Parkway.  Ran with Kimzey.  He's a pretty stud freshman.  I think he could develop into a very fine young runner.  (cumulus orange 269.25)

evening - 9.8 Club run out onto Entrada.  Ran three at threshold with Clyde when we got back onto paved trail and extended it down to Sunset then recovered back.  Although I had forgotten to set my watch to automatic splits, every time I looked at my watch it was 5:40 or quicker (mostly quicker).  Felt good to get up and go a little.  (Cumulus red 222.95)

morning - 10 out in Bloomington Hills (6 w/ team).  Then extended it out onto river trail and around BH.  Tired and felt dehydrated.  (Cumulus orange 279.25)

PM -7 Grapevine Springs.  Tried out a new ending up Parkway and across newly excavated road.  I like that better than going up Cottonmill Ave.  (Glycerin 463.95)

morning - 15.2 Sunrise Valley.  Went on a new run out into Sunrise Valley.  the run would have been great had the dump not smelled so horrid.  It about made me puke.  Didn't go with the club because of family obligations that I couldn't miss today, and those fellows have run me ragged this week and I didn't need those kind of miles.  As it was, I was aiming for 100 and didn't want to get over it.  But because I teach English and History, not Math, I hit over 100.  Oh well... Hopefully I get some legs back this weekend.  (Cumulus red 238.15)

This week had mixed reviews.  Good mileage, but felt a little dragging throughout. 

Goals for next week:  Get some spring back in the legs.  Hit right around 80-85 miles for the week.  No speed this week - Except for a lot of speed on Saturday at the 1/2!  Run a good race, have a lot of fun, enjoy seeing my girls again (by the time we go up for the race and to pick them up from Grandma's I won't have seen the older two for 2 weeks), and give it all I can in the race (which hopefully means sub 1:10).
