Relentless

AM - 11 GS/laps/AC/Lutheran.  I am just not really thrilled about waking up now-a-days.  Allergies have started to take over my life and they wipe me out.  (Oregon 677.75)

afternoon - 6 loops.  Ran around as the team did a workout.  (shoes?)

AM - 6 AC/Lutheran.  Good morning run after hip has been really hurting lately.  (Kinvara silver 178.25)

afternoon - 7.5 laps.  Again, ran around as the team did a workout.  (shoes?)

AM - 13 Tempo Loop.  A little better tempo this morning.  Times were about 3-10 seconds faster per mile.  Hips felt a bit better this morning with no speed work this week and a little lower miles.  My major problem right now is mental.  I really just don't feel like running or working hard.  I am ready for this cycle and this race to be done with.  It is more than just running - I am just overwhelmed with everything.  I need a weekend where I can just be with my family and enjoy some time in the pool and good times.  Unfortunately I won't have one of those for many more weeks.  Bummer.  (Mana 518)

afternoon - 4 laps/DI.  Another workout for the team, so I just ran around a bit.  (Landreth blue 996.25)

AM - 11 Mall/AC/Lutheran.  Was able to get up and go a bit today.  Didn't feel too bad.  Hip is up and down a bit this week.  (Kinvara3 480.5)

AM - 13 Sego Lily/Dimple Dell. Ran the Sego Lily loop and then extended up into Granite past the old church. Came back and got the boys and took them onto the north rim section of dimple dell. Good run. A little chilly up here, it was great. (Ronin 85)

evening - 4.5 Eagle Island. Ran the Bob Firman course up in Boise. Then some striders. This would be a very fun course to run. The team will do well tomorrow. (Zero 256.25)

AM - 14 Boise. From the hotel up the Greenbelt - a mostly pretty trail along the Boise River. Threw in 3x2 mile repeats at MP. Went mid 5:40's, to low :40's, to mid :30's and felt pretty good. Have been sneezing a lot, as the allergies have really kicked in, and everyone is making my deep abs hurt more and more. Hopefully the taper can get the aches and pains to go away. (Ronin 99)

Good solid week.

Goals for next week: mileage down to around 70 and a couple solid MP workouts.
