Relentless

AM - 15 Twix/River Trail.  A little with Twix since we met early for practice today... where we did 85 minutes on a nice little loop down around the river.  It was a nice run, and fun to get some mileage in.  Dallen was on crack.  Ended with 8xbarefoot striders.  Now to let the legs and mind prepare for a good workout tomorrow morning.  (Peg black 348.75)(Barefoot '15 78.75)

AM - 15 Fields tempo.  Took Twix out for a few - she was sick last night and I didn't know if she would want to run.  But she's a runner.  Waited for James for a few minutes, but didn't see any signs of movement at this house, so I set out.  Today I thought I might break up the tempo into two 4 mile segments hoping to get a better finish.  Went 5:47, :42, :39, :47 then a .5 mile 4 minute break and :51, :57, :57, :57.  I don't know about any of this anymore.  It was just as hard to get going again as anything else.  To pull from the Mormon lexicon, I guess you could say I am getting "trunky" and just kind of packing it in.  The sooner this race is over the sooner I can get healthy and get back to running just 'cause I love it again.  I really wish I could go out better... But it is what it is. #STS.  On another note; those who know, and love my purple shorts - I hate to inform you that the elastic has died (today's run was marred by many near moonings) and they will be trashed.  A very sad day inded.  #GTG (Pace blue 15)  

AM - Twix/Sunrise. Caught a little extra sleep after a few early mornings. Time to chill. (Riders 462.25)

AM - 8 Twix/Sunrise. A usual morning before heading up to Salt Lake. Team ran pretty well at Nebo. Lots of driving today. (Peg Black 356.75)

morning - 3.5 Granite. Took the girls up to Granit Park and on the upper section of the Dimple Dell trails for an easy 30 minutes. (Pace Blue 18.5)

evening - 3 Bob Firman. After another long day of driving, we ran the course up in Boise. The girls are primed to do well, but relaxed and having a good time. Chilled with CB and met a few more of the Lehi crew: Collin, Heaps, Raff, the Hinkleys, all the others, and most importantly mom and pop CB. (Pace blue 21.5)

AM - 10.5 Boise. From the hotel near the airport down toward the Capitol and then along the river. Did a 3,2,1 workout. The first three were tough and couldn't get going quicker than 5:55. The legs were just super fatigued from all the driving. (It made me pretty worried for the girls.) But then the two and one were very good - like two totally different workouts. (pace blue 32)

Well, week was pretty good. Traveled safe and that was good. The team ran pretty well - Meskerem was top 20 and Rylee had a great race and was 2nd Freshman at the whole meet. When we close up our spread back to the usual we will be really moving!

Goals for next week: last one!
