Relentless

AM - 8.5 DogTown/Sunrise. Really not as hammered as I thought I would be after Saturday. Took Twix around the neighborhoods of DogTown to mix it up a little. (Peg Black 292)

afternoon - 12.25 Nisson's/GS. Mixed up our long run direction today. Run was good, but felt a bit long because I was adding in stuff along the way since I knew we would be way short. Threw in a few pickups like last week. And I finally was able to get some striders in. I felt a bit worn down by the end; but really not as bad as I should feel. Hmmm?

AM - 8.5 DogTown/Sunrise. I was so exhausted this morning I could barely run without falling asleep. Glad I moved the tempo off today. Took the afternoon off to rest the achilles - JV teams absolutely wrecked the rest of the region's (except the hells) varsities today. A full PV JV boys team would take 3rd in our region; girls would place 4th - send 'em to State!

AM - 8.5 DogTown/Sunrise. Just cruising with the dog. This week seems a bit longer than last week. Could use the long weekend, now. (Peg black 300.5)

afternoon - 4 Sandstone. Over to the elem for some barefooting. I had to toss the left over playground balls so violence didn't erupt. (barefoot '15 70.25)

AM - 8.5 Twix/Sunrise. A little better pace this morning. (Peg 601.5)

afternoon - 5 Sand Hills. Ran over to the hill and back. (Kinvara blue 274)

AM - 7.5 Twix/Sunrise. Grabbed just a few extra minutes of sleep this morning. Still plenty warm in the mornings, not to mention the afternoons. (Kinvara white 461.75)

PM - 13.25 Fields Tempo. Late last night, I got out for my tempo workout for the week. Took a short nap, hanged out with Al and Elin, and then got out around 9:45. Finally was able to see the results of the fast first mile (usually don't because I am so tired and slow in the mornings). Went 5:35, :42 (kinda slowed because I was worried I went out too hard), :42, : 38, :47, :39, :42, :47 and :51 pace for nearly a half. Was most pleased with the last mile and a half which are pretty tough and I haven't really hit very well all year. Best tempo this season. Cooled home and got ready for the run-a-thon. (Pace 97.25)

AM - 8.25 Track. Ran around a bit, played some ultimate, cooked up pancakes, and just generally had a good time - even though an all-nighter is very tough on an old fella. (Peg 609.75)

Not a shabby week. A good Monday and last night's late night tempo pulled it together.

Goals for next week: start the week off well on Monday. We're up at Murray for the weekend, so that'll be fun.
