Relentless

AM - 17 6x1600. Didn't have to get up quite as early to get the workout done before practice, but still up at 5. Had a really good sleep though and was ready to wake up. Warmed up into GS with 2 up and 2 down at Tinman. Goal was to start a little slower and work into it and finish all 6. Hit 5:37, :35, :33, :30, :26, :19. Didn't really have to work until the last couple and that was a nice confidence boost. I would say that if I can get some decent tempting in a sub 2:30 is still in the cards - not my goal earlier this year, but I'll take it. Cooled for about a mile until the team got there and then ran DI with them for their warm/cool around their workout (which I was very pleased with all around by the way). Ten moved onto the car wash... A long day on the feet. I'll see if I can sneak out for a few more this evening, but maybe not. (Ronin 35)

AM - 8 Mall/AC.  Just so much to do today that I didn't extend the run after morning practice.  Knee was a bit tender this morning.  (Lime 236.75)

afternoon - 8 Bloomington Hills.  Ran around the park a bit setting up the course.  Then Logan and I went down on the River Trail for a couple more.  Then added a bit more running around the course again.  It was a steamy one over there today.  (Zero 242.75)

AM - 13 Tempo Loop.  Met up with Logan and Bill at Clyde's for our summer tempo loop.  It was so humid today; I was absolutely soaked through.  My tempo wasn't too great, but at least I did it.  These are the workouts that have me a little worried.  But hopefully they will come around.  Warmed up three and then went 5:52, 6:00, 5:41, 5:53, 6:04, 5:53, 5:43, 6:04.  Like I said, hopefully in the next two/three weeks I can feel a bit better about this stuff.  (Kinvara3 463) 

afternoon - 7 Foremaster.  Nice run with the team with 8xbarefoot striders at the end.  (Barefoot '13 97.5)(Connect 611.5)

AM - 9 GS/AC/Lutheran.  Just out getting some mileage.  Not feeling bad from yesterday's workout yet so that is nice.  (Free 834.2)

afternoon - 6 1/1. Warmed and cooled a little and ran the 1/1 workout with some of the guys. I got 11 in at around .19-.20 per minute. Good workout for everyone on the team. The news said the Maverick on Riverside was robbed this morning at 5:30. If I would have woke up on time, I would have been there at exactly that time (I always check my watch to make sure I am on pace to get to practice on time, and I need to be at that Maverick at 5:32 to be on time back to school). Maybe I slept in on purpose. Not that anything would have happened to me, but interesting how stuff like that works. (F50 553.75)

AM - 7 Grass/DI.  3 miles barefoot on the grass and then the DI loop extended down into the neighborhood below school.  Long night coming up with the run-a-thon, so I slept in a bit.  (Barefoot '13 100.5)(Last Ohana 430.75)

midnight - 20 Parkway/River Trail.  Run-a-Thon tonight, so I just went out for 2 miles on the track and then went with the boys out on the Parkway.  Continued by myself out on the River Trail.  This section was horrid.  It was around 2am and I was so tired.  I walked some and just wanted to lay down and sleep.  I am glad this thing is over and this busy week is over.  (Ronin 55)

Week was okay.

Goals for next week: try and continue and get in shape.
