AM - 7 6x1000's.  Ran a little before the girls got there and then the workout with them with a Pizza warm/cool.  They did a great job.  We are really focusing on our pack development with our 1-3 and 4-9 girls and I saw some good positives today.  I like running these with the girls because it gets me moving - especially for a Monday - but without the wear and tear on the legs.  (Zero 36.5)

afternoon - 9 Vernon Worthen. It was HOT out today - car read 105 on the way home. Ran 8xbarefoot striders at the park, then back to school. Did weights, but no plyos yet on my calf. (Barefoot '12 82)(Stratus grey 1024.85)

AM - 13 Tempo.  Three warm and then Tempo with Logan.  It was much cooler and things went much better this week than last.  The first three went by nice and we just chatted and picked up the pace.  Then we just kept rolling and hit some solid times.  Didn't look at the watch and that was real nice - ended up with the first 2 at Tinman and then the next 5 at MP (5:42-5:49).  Clyde joined us for the warm and cool and that was nice to get the Circle back together.  Felt good about the improvement this week. (Rocket 412.75)

afternoon - 8.5 6x1000 (grass loops).  So I was pretty spent from this morning and wondered how I would do on this, but I wanted/needed to get out there with the boys and help them as much as I could.  Every one was a struggle and I had to really push to get anything done, but the times were pretty solid and the team was doing pretty well.  The 6th was I could tell I was done as my time fell 10 secs and I just didn't have anything left.  Then DI warm/cool.  A very long day and I am absolutely spent with life.  (Zero 45)

AM - 7 2xDI/AC.  Figured I would be spent and dead today.  Mostly just tired.  I'm sure my legs will be more spent as the day goes on.  Feel pretty dehydrated too.  It has been hot and I've been drinking like a fish, but I haven't caught up to it yet.  (Kinvara 676.65)
afternoon - 6 2xDI/laps. Just ran the warm and cool with the team and some laps while they did their workout. Just tired overall today. (Connect 272.75)

AM  - 10 Mall/AC/DI.  Not superb, not hideous.  (Oregon 423.25)

afternoon - 6 Fields.  Still pretty warm out, so we ran toward the double churches so that we could stop at the park.  On the way back we hit our 8xbarefoot striders there.  Calf feeling pretty decent.  Weights after - still no squats or plyos for me though.  (Barefoot '12 83)(Kinvara3 60.5)

AM - 5 AC/DI.  Slept in a little today since I'll be up a lot of the night with our teams Run-a-Thon.  So not much mileage, but I'll survive.  Legs are getting a little back in them; just in time to go where them out again.  (Landreth blue 836.9)

afternoon - 10 Fields. During our football game induced "time out" from our run-a-thon, most of the boys and I headed out for or long run with tempo. We got out just after five and it was still just gut-bustin hot. Everyone did stellar on their tempos and I couldn't have been more pleased. Mine was nice a nice Tinman for 6 miles with Mike, Casey, and Jason. I wasn't so sure I would up to it - still feeling the early week a bit, but I just relaxed into the pace and enjoyed having a good solid pace. (last Ohana 318.5)

AM - 10 Parkway. Last week I was up running at 3:00 because of a meet; today it was the same, but for the run-a-thon and I hadnt slept all night. After the usual soccer and volleyball games and stuff, I was getting pretty tired, so I decided to go for my run at around 3. I rand out on the Parkway via the Dog Pound. I actually felt pretty good considering the time, staying up all night, and run last night. But I wasn't going to run any further than 10. (Rocket 422.75)

Week was good. Calf has improved significantly this week and I think another week like this I could lower my go marathon time a bit. Mileage was controlled, but still at an okay level.

Goals for next week: Mileage will be higher as I want a longer run both Monday and Saturday. And another solid tempo planned for Tuesday.
