Relentless

AM - 6 Foremaster. A good run by myself this morning. Could feel the 10 in my legs at times and at other times the run was just smoothing by. Hope that means I can get back to training by the end of the month. (Rocket 465.75)

afternoon - 4 Harts. Ran the warm and cool with the boys and 4 of the 2's with them during some Masterblasters. That was a little more than I was ready for! (Last Ohana 344.5)

AM - 7 Parkway. Not up crazy early, but still early enough to really enjoy the stars really bright out in the dark. Then added a little with the dog and then back home after walking Laney to school. (Kinvara 3 108)

evening - 4 SLC. Ran at the park near the hotel in Sandy. Then 8xbarefoot striders. (barefoot '12 86)(Zero 75)

morning - 10 SLC. Ran up onto the trail in Sandy, toward Draper. Then joined the boys for a bit on their morning shake-out. A little tired by the end. Later... State was bit of a mixed bag this year. Some did great, others struggled. Not really up to our program's standards overall. I need to do a little better job coaching. (Hyper Speed 270.25)

afternoon - 9 Dino Tracks. Slept in a bit, so I wasn't able to go until later in the day, but it was a nice day. Ran up on the trails and the a little with the dog. (NB 110 297)

morning - 8 City Wells. Nice little run on the trails up to the City Wells. A little tired in the legs but awesome time of year. (NB 101 594.75)

AM - 7 Hells Hole. Super dark and a little cold down by the river this morning. Mostly I just hoped not to run into a skunk, so the run was a success.

Save a Sister 5K. 25:36

Whole family ran this race for my amazing mom who drop kicked cancer right in the face throughout this year. My mother-in-law, who did the same thing a couple years ago, came down also. So lots of reasons to go support this run. Ran with Pyper and our goal was to have no stops. The last 5k we did together we had just one. We started off good and settled into a good pace. By mile one we started to pass a few people and I was just trying to keep her positive and not thinking of her leg hurting - she has a big bruise and scab where she got bit by a dog earlier this week. Into mile 2 she was tired, but we had passed her cousins and an uncle and were rolling along good. The third mile was mostly uphill, so I would give her an energy boost every time we passed someone, by just squeezing her hand and making a buzzing sound. We started having some fun with it and were getting three and four people at a time. Pretty soon we were at the three and the finish was close, so we pushed it in good and ended up with a two minute PR for her! And not a bad time for a 9 year old. It was really fun running with Pyper, she is an awesome girl. Rylee had run great and hit a 23:50. - right around her PR; again not too shabby for an 11 year old. (Rocket 475.75)

Good recovery week.

Goals for week: keep on the recovery.
