AM -9.75 DogPound/Sunrise.  Went down to the Mosquito Trail and checked out if we will be able to connect the trail via DogPound since the footbridge is washed out from last week's floods.  I think it should be good and I'll probably take that direction if I can convince the guys to do it tomorrow (or maybe if I can't).  Had to pick up the pace a touch to get back on time to practice and that made us run a touch faster for our 30 minutes.  (Lyte33 143)

afternoon - 5.25 laps.  Just ran around PV a bit while the team ran their workout.

AM - 15.25 DC/2x4 mile.  Clyde wanted to mix up the workout, because he is Clyde.  So we went along with it, because we are The Circle.  Workout wasn't great.  Felt more tight and labored than I had hoped.  Went 5:30 for the first set.  Then a 6 min recovery.  Then went 5:36 on the second set.  I really wasn't in it mentally and that wasn't fun.  But... okay, really.  (Kinvara Blue 15.25)

AM - 10 Foremaster/Sunrise.  Pretty labored and laxy this morning too.  Don't like the connects and look forward to ending their time on my feet.  Need to not stress so much about life, school, coaching, church, family, and everything else.  (Connect 781.5)

afternoon - 8.5 Shinob Kibe. Tried to go on the new trail, but there were workers everywhere, so we went around Shinob. Pretty tired, a lot of guys were tired. Ended with 8xbarefoot striders. Could use less of the extra drama in life brought on by "well-meaning" people who just refuse to understand. (Barefoot '14 53.75)(Kinvara3 785.25)

AM - 8.25 Washington/Sunrise.  Not a bad morning; was able to think/talk through some things, so hopefully that helps destress my life a touch.  (Kinvara lime 560.75)

afternoon - 6.5 GS. Easy and hot run up into Green Springs. Finished with 4x200. (HyperSpeed 2 546.75)

AM - 20.5 SGM Course. Repeat of last week, but with the full Circle. Felt much more junky today than last week, it was hotter, and no tailwind. Going into the Mary Mich, we started off much slower for the first 3/4 mile, but then Logan got us going a bit and we worked it to 5:40 for the 4 up Dammeron and just past the 1/2. But I really felt labored. The 8 mile Tinman was fine pace-wise, but again toured effort-wise. During this section, Clyde really showed why he needs to learn how to run without being on crack - the guy is all over the place. Going into the final 4 we started off quicker than last week, but I fell off dropping into town. Then I hit the light and had to stop for about 20 seconds. Got going and felt a bit better and closed the gap a bit on Clyde and then hit the light at the Blvd, falling back again. Got the ave to 5:17, but lost a couple secs in the last mile. For how I was feeling, however, a barely better first 4 ave, and barely slower (5:18) 2nd 4 ave wasn't too shabby. (Kinvara Blue 30.75). Need a few more miles to get hem just where I want them for the race.

morning - 10.5 Irvine. We slept in a bit since the team raced at 10:40 Utah time last night; then ate breakfast with as much time as we could to let it get in the stomach and then get our run in with time to get back and checkout of the hotel. Went from the hotel out into a real nice neighborhood up through this park toward a big nature reserve here in Irvine. Didn't get to the trails in the reserve, but no big deal the run was nice. Kids ran well after really doing awesome last night. I could tell they were a little tired, so we didn't kill anything, but we did have a good fast finish Krenny style. I felt fine from yesterday. (Kinvara Blue 46.25)

Good week; really accomplished exactly what I wanted with a solid last long run yesterday and good mileage with a little cut back and an okay workout Tuesday.

Goals for next week: solidify the workouts a bit. Just feel good in them, no matter the pace, feel good. Let the mileage dddddrrrrrrrrrop, as the Beasties would say.
