AM - 7.75 Twix/Sunrise.  A little slower on my own; a little faster with the team.  As usual, could have used a lot more sleep.  (Adios 383.75)

afternoon - 12 Albino. Interesting start to the run as Vis had a bit of a health scare. Glad I was there with the team to help out. I think it would have been very scary for the kids on their own (but no doubt, they would have gotten the help he needed); even more glad that he was okay after a few minutes. But it was a little creepy (but not in that fun Presto way). Finally got running and I was just spent, trying to hang with the crew as best I could. Glad it got done eventually. The intense rain storm was cool for the few minutes that it lasted. Ended with 8xbarefoot striders. (Barefoot '15 74.25)(Peg 628.75)

AM - 15 Fields Tempo. Not a great one this morning. Right from the start I was just thinking, "Try getting a few miles in." Bad attitude for when it started to get tougher. Oh well. Move on. 5:42, :49, :44, :47, :51, 6:03, 5:51, 6:01, crap pace for the last almost half. (Pace 128)

afternoon - 4 BHNP. Just guesstimating on the mileage I got while setting up the course and then running around with the team on their workout. Good efforts. (Kinvara lime 641.25)

AM - 7 Twix/GS. A little extra sleep this morning. Then at practice we took it up to Green Springs because there was a gun incident on our normal route. Yikes! (Kinvara blue 282)

afternoon - 4 Sandstone. Just some easy barefooting this afternoon. (barefoot '15 77.75)(Kinvara blue 282.5)

AM - 8 DogTown/GS.  Just around town with the dog in the nice cooler weather.  Then with the team up Green Springs again.  (Riders 455.25)

afternoon - 4.5 Sand Hill.  Well I didn't run any Sand Hills - I think that would send my achilles to the point of true destruction.  But ran up there and coached 'em up.  I really hate my Ronins.  I think I should retire them.  There... just decided it.  They are done.  I will go put them in the donation pile today.  To ensure such I am taking them off the shoe manager.  That makes it official!  (Ronin 534)

AM - 8.5 DogTown/Sunrise.  Actually might have been a little more today.  Running was nice this morning with good temps and the left achilles starting to feel a little better and the right being walk-on-able.  Then back to the usual morning route with the team and we had no gun sightings, but there was a possible bomb sighting in the mall parking lot.  (Peg Black 334.75)

afternoon - 4.25 Sandburgs. Ran into Marlar territory and we all survived. Finished up with some 200's on the track at a pretty decent pace. (Kinvara grey 128.5)

AM - 11 Washington Loop. Dragged Twix around on the workout this morning. Warmed up up the Parkway. Then got into a 3 mile, 2, 1 at MP workout with .5 mile recovery. First set went very well. The middle set I was off a few seconds because the dog was a bit spent. On the recovery, I let her run through some sprinklers and an over flowing gutter and she did much better on the final mile and we hit a good solid time. That's the kind of workout I'll probably do a bit of when I hang up the racing shoes here in a couple weeks - it's fun, manageable, and keeps you pretty fit. Pretty excited to be done marathoning to tell you the truth. (Pace 138.5)

Somehow, pulled off another decent week. Even though the tempo was off a bit, I've tried not to stress about those bad workouts. I am pretty content with who I am and where I am at as a runner now. It would be fun to try and do something awesome on my last marathon race in a couple weeks. But I am a realist and would rather survive with a good solid run than have a death march.

Goals for next week: have kind of planned how the mileage will cut back and hopefully that will freshen up the legs and mind for the tempo. Enjoy the trip to Boise with the girls team this weekend and keep getting the achilles survivable.
