Relentless

went up into Buena Vista and around Green Springs and looped home.

My legs were sore but not really tired until right at the end. Although I didn't care about the time at all, I ran at 7:31 pace ave.

Now (Tuesday morning) my legs don't have any soreness and my Plantar F isn't really bothering me.

out and back into the Desert Reserve up the Grapevine Springs Trail.

Kind of a hard run when you are in recovery mode because it is all uphill out. But a beautiful run and I just took it easy and thought about running and x-country region on Wednesday and just enjoyed it.

7:59 pace/ave.

this week running has been very theraputic for me.

Went out to Green Springs and left my watch home so I didn't even think about speed. I just let my mind wander after an emotional region cross-country meet. Girls did well taking third (just off second, our team goal) but made state and had the individual champ. But then the boys tied for fourth, but lost the chance for state based on the 6th runner (a tough result anyways, but when you are only 2 points off 3rd and 11 off 2nd it is tough to swallow)

Anyway - the run let me think things out.

Another reason I love running!

am - 4 miler with boys team PVHS dogpound run. felt good, but no juice so just stayed with the middle of the pack.

afternoon - 4 miler with girls team. dogpound run again. Ran with region champ girl and talked about her race. Felt a little more loose.

pm - 4 with St.G.running club ran out by Dixie college. good run. Talked about the marathon with Steve and Bill and how we each felt and what we can do from here.

Out into Coral Canyon. Just enjoyed it.

My mind is ready to start training hard again, but not my body.

Meant to go with club this morning. But it wasn't until I sat at the park for 15 minutes that I remembered they met somewhere else on Saturday's. So I just ran by myself. Felt good. And I finished just before the huge rains started.
