AM - 10.25 Foremaster/Sunrise. Kind of the usual leggy Monday morning. But I did have a great night's sleep - one of those where it really feels like hours of sleep. (Kinvara Lime 552.5)

afternoon - 5 laps. Just ran laps as the team did it's workout before the lightening and rains came. (Zero 300.75)

AM - 15.25 Tempo.  Had a bit of rain last night, so we weren't sure the condition of the trail (the mud piles up pretty high on it).  But we decided to do it anyway.  Started off solid and just kept it there - finally a tempo the way it should be.  Was 5:38 at the top of Nicholl's.  5:36 down to the bridge.  5:33 off Mosquito.  Kind of got me stoked to try and drop below 5:30, but I didn't open it up that much.  Lost a second along Riverside to be at :34 at the Car Wash and then kept it there to the finish.  Happy with it.  Happy that I am going in the right direction.  (Adios 223.25)  Forgot to mention that I had a skunk sighting on the Mosquito.  I was moving pretty good and came up on it and luckily noticed it in the dark.  Stopped to let it pass and to warn the lads; then got moving again and it was just 20 feet up the trail.  So stopped it again and sneaked on by.  Glad I didn't get hit.

afternoon - 9 Hospital. Started practice a little late today because of another storm. This really has been a crazy year. The amount of rain these things are throwing down is intense. Ran Hospital reverse and then 8xbarefoot striders. Stomach was a bit off this afternoon. (Barefoot '14 52.75)(Kinvara White 322.75)

AM - 10.25 GS/Sunrise.  Felt the harder workout in the legs a bit this morning.  But it has been a decent week and I am going to keep it that way.  (Ronin 455.25)

afternoon - 5.5 laps. Just ran around PV a bunch around the time trial. (Connect 771.5)

AM - 8 Washington/Sunrise.  Got a few extra winks last night and had a decent morning run.  The temps were just right.  (Lyte33 133.25)

afternoon - 5 Washington. Cut practice a bit today since we got started so late with the lock-out because of a bank robbery with hostages and suspect shooting. Ended with 4x200. Felt good to open up the old legs a little. I am kind of looking forward to try and train a little harder for something short soon. Wish we had a better 5-10k scene down here. (Oregon 818)

AM - 21.25 SGM. Logan and I hitched a ride with Dad up the course above Veyo and headed out on a Marathon Michigan of 4/8/4 after a 4 mile warm. The morning was perfect - temps, tailwind, moonlight. The first MP push was very solid - 5:40 up the Dameron Hills (if only I could do that on race day! I'll take 6:00). Then the Tinman was just super easy. Then finished the workout with 4 into town and almost to the finish. Hit a 5:18 ave here. It was the best workout I've had in years; I really felt like I was in the zone, everything was so effortless and I didn't ever have to push out of a comfort zone to do what I wanted. Cooled for just over a mile. (Kinvara green 217.25)

noon - 5.5 SugarHouse. Up on the State course with the Varsity teams. I didn't have the legs to push the fartlek with with the legs like bricks, but still hit the sections into the 6:00's and 5:00's by the end. Teams ran well at Herriman and it was a good trip. (Zero 306.25)

mid-morning - 10 Prospector. Slept in a bit after getting home very late last night. Then had breakfast with the girls and got a few things done before going out into the desert. Run was real nice. Had the trail all to myself and the temps were sunny, but still coolish. Surveyed all the new washes and flooding from this week's rainstorms, felt pretty good and should be ready to push on Tempo Tuesday. (VertK 344.5)

Good week. One my best weeks in some time. Happy with pretty much all of it.

Goals for next week: how about getting a few more weeks like that!?
