Relentless

afternoon - 6 Nisson's.  Felt a little more tired than at the end of last week.  Added 8xbarefoot striders which felt better than the run.  (Barefoot '11 160)(Landreth blue 164)

AM - 6.25 Dirt Miles.  Ran up to the Dirt Mile track and did four miles up there then came home and added Molly's Mile.  Felt a lot like yesterday, just a bit worn out still.  (612.05)

AM - 3 AC.  Nice easy morning run, just because I love to run.  (Oregon 142.5)

afternoon - 6 Neon Spider.  Took the boys out on this run that most hadn't done before; kind of funny to see them freaking out in the tunnel.  Molly's Mile.  (Ohana Racers 588.75)

morning - 6.5 Soccer Fields.  Ran down Mosquito Trail and then up to the new park to check out the progress and then around a little more in the Fields.  (Altra 280)

afternoon - 8 Prospector.  A beautiful day, short shorts, and a trail.  What else would someone ever need.  I sure wish my legs were ready for a whole weekend of 20+ mile trail runs.  (Old Ohana -8)

morning - 7.75 Grass. DI warm and cool with the team and then ran some loops as they hit the grass for a quick paced workout. Felt pretty good - achilles is getting a bit hot, so I am icing it up good today. (Last Ohana 227.5)

afternoon - 9.25 Mustang Pass.  Actually got a bit of a sunburn today!  Like yesterday, I drove the mile to the trailhead, just so I could get more mileage on the the trail itself.  A little tired in the legs, but who can pass up the dirt and the sun?  (Boston 723.25)

morning - 12.25 Bracken's Loop.  Another nice desert trail run.  Went with Steven up through the sand on Brackens' Loop then ended with Molly's Mile.  Felt pretty good.  These trail runs put a lot more time on the legs than road runs.  (Triumph 769)

Solid recovery week.  With some nice time in the dirt to end the week.

Goals for next week:  One more recovery week.  No need to push it with State XC this week, use the time to get my own legs back and focus on the team.

Lap swim: 15 minutes - first time I have been swimming in a long time.  Felt very good.  Had wanted to swim after the marathon, but it was just too cold (unbelievably after the heat on race day).  Pool was just a little chilly, but who is to complain when you are swimming outside in mid-October.
