Relentless

AM - 10.25 Foremaster/Starbucks.  Started what will be the usual routine now.  Ran Foremaster.  Didn't feel too bad, but it took a minute to warm up.  Then sith the team on a 30 minute morning run.  (Lyte33 106.25)

AM - 15.25 Tempo.  Bummer workout.  Just kind of a perfect storm of crappiness today.  I actually started off feeling pretty good, but then it all added up.  The humidity was way high - no good.  Ran a lot of mileage last week - no good.  Hard mileage/long run Saturday - no good.  Been starting to get sick - no good.  Ran harder than I should have yesterday - no good.  So after The Circle had long since left me I was still trying to plug along, but slowing.  5:50 at Nicholl's.  5:55 at the bride.  As I came to the end of Mosquito, I heard the guys talking.  They had called the workout and were waiting for me.  I tried to keep going, but the body and mind were very week and I called it just after Mosquito where I had dropped over 6:00.  Really struggled even just jogging it in.  Glad it is over and I need a nap.  I need to really make myself understand what my focus needs to be.  I can't do mileage and pace work at the same time (especially during the school year).  So I need to let the mileage go and just get my workouts in where they are supposed to be.  I am going to let the rest of the week be pretty chill and get feeling better for next week's rebooting.  (Mana 638.75)

AM - 3.75 Sunrise.  Slept in today until practice.  Head cold is still setting in pretty strong.  Will use a few more days of easy and recovery to get centered body and mind.  (Lyte33 110)

afternoon - 6 GS.  5 very easy miles up into Green Springs today.  Had a workout scheduled for the team, but I could tell they were tired - and they ran like it today.  Finished with 8xbarefoot striders.  (Barefoot '14 44.75)

Fell behind in blogging, so I don't remember my shoes for most of the rest of the week.  

AM - 3.75 Sunrise.  Just easy out with the team this morning.

afternoon - 7 Grass loops.  Ran around with the team as they did their workout.  Tried to run with as many different groups as possible and ended up running something with most of them.

AM - 4 Sunrise.  Tried to get the group moving a little more this morning.  Really working on team packing in every run.  

afternoon - 4 Bloomington Hills.  Ran around the park marking and measuring the course.  Had a great time at the innagural Desert Relays - although I think I'll petition to change the name to the Desert Eikiden (sp?).  (Zero 293.75)

AM - 12 track.  12 miles at the run-a-thon at about 3 in the morning.  All on the track.  Actually felt pretty good and probably maintained about a 6:15-6:30 pace throughout.  Hit the 10th mile with a 5:01, just kind of pushed it a bit and let the legs flow.  If I would have been wearing a watch I would have made sure I broke 5!  Then finished with 2 cool down.  Glad to have the run-a-thon over.  (Kinvara lime 544.25)

Glad to have the week over too.  What a busy, hectic and not feeling good week.

Goals for next week:  get back on the horse.
