AM - 19 Barrell Roll/DM. Great run with Logan on the trails out by his house. Good to catch up with my good buddy and just enjoy a fun trail run with him. Came home and got TAwix and we hit 4 extended Dirt Miles. Solid morning of running. And enough for the day. (VertK 530)

AM - 9 Parkway.  Twix and I hit a few this morning going around the Parkway in reverse with lots of extensions to get the mileage in.  No morning practice for a couple days let me use my morning time a little more wisely.  (Riders 437.25)

afternoon - 2 BHNP.  Just a couple setting up and taking down the time trial course.  The F50 is a crap shoe and I am glad I don't wear it anymore.  Even for just the two miles on grass, I was reminded how junky it is (it was actually mostly in the way it wore, which forced me to pronate like a beast; yuck).  (F50 810.75)

AM - 15.25 Fields Tempo.  Got up a touch earlier and got just over 3 in with the dog.  Ran down and got James and we headed out to the tempo.  Today's major battle was with the mind; as I felt fatigue from Friday's solid tempo, I just wanted to give in.  I did a bit on mile 6, but recovered and finished it pretty decent for how tired I was.  5:42, :47, :42, :43, :47, 6:02, :51, :57, :52 pace (almost half mile).  (Pace 113)

afternoon - 4 Sandstone.  Some barefooting after going to the bank and store.  (Lyte33 226.75)(Barefoot '15 73.25)

AM - 8 Twix/Sunrise.  A couple minutes extra of much needed rest before a run with the dog and the team.  (Peg 617.75)

afternoon - 4.5 Panorama.  Just an easy, but super hot, run with the boys talking strategy for tomorrow.  Ended with 4x200 accells with the girls.  (Kinvara Grey 124.25)

AM - 10 Parkway/Sunrise.  Just a little extra this morning as I won't get any this afternoon.  Excited for the meet.  A little anxious.  (Riders 447.25)

evening - 3 Murray. I am giving myself 3 this afternoon for running all over the Murray course. It totally wore me out and sent both achilles into devil fits. Super proud of our program. Not everyone ran great, but as a whole a lot of great racing. In both fresh/soph for boys and girls we went 1,2,5 and placed 2nd as teams. JV's went well and had some individual placers. V Boys did well, even with 3 bad races (which made for us finishing 4th, just off LP, with a crapper 5 score. And the girls were super strong in our first real race of the year. A few girls weren't sharp, but we still ended with just a 31 sec spread (worst of the year), 3 medalists (and 4 of the top 26), and a very solid 3rd to national top 10 AF and Davis. We just need to keep building confidence and belief, transition to more race pace stuff, and pushing each other and we will close that gap even more by Bob Firman.

AM - 25.75 State St/SugarHouse. Couldn't get to sleep well, and was up early (and didn't get a nap on the bus home either, so I'll be spent later) so I just decided to go out earlier than planned and get more mileage in. Didn't want to go up any hills, so an East/West route was out of the question. So just decided to head down State St. Pretty boring, but it was actually fine; and the only people on the road were me, some cops, and the crazies. Averaged 6:45 out for 9 and 6:35 back. So just a good even effort. Got back to the hotel and we got on the bus up to the State course. Saw Rob for a minute and headed out. We ran the course to get a feel for the new finish. Then ran it again with some fartleks - which allowed me to coach from behind the pack (a nice way of saying I am not fast enough and was too tired to keep up). Then a little in reverse to finish our workout for 7.75 more for the morning. Long and tiring running, but glad I got in a good long run. I will be very happy when the marathon is over and I can heal up my rotten achilles - they are both so trashed. (Peg Black 326.25)

Another decent week.

Goals for next week: survive! Just a few weeks left.
