Relentless

AM - 7 Twix/Sunrise.  A little slower out on both parts of the run this morning.  Wore my new Pegasus 32's.  Pretty decent shoe and the higher heel has seemed to help out the achilles a bit.  This is probably the longest I have had an injury that just kept bugging.  (Peg Blue 7)

afternoon - 4 Dirt Mile.  Went over to the Dirt Mile for the PVXC Autumn Classic.  Did some warm with the team and some cool.  Team ran pretty well today.  Some a little stronger than always.  As usual, the boys aren't making it much easier to decide who is headed down to Nike.  Really four spots are set, and today some guys that had faded a little at the end of the season really stepped back into it.  It great; but it's tough.  The wind was really killing (27 mph according to the Internet - right into them for nearly half the oval mile) and it was super warm for November (82), which really made the girls' times impressive.  (Pace 163.25)

AM - 8.24 Twix/Sunrise.  Got up just 5 minutes earlier and was able to get a little more in.  Felt decent today and pace was a bit quicker.  (Peg Black 388)

afternoon - 5.75 Shoe Run.  Felt pretty spent today, so I cancelled my plans to add a bit of a workout on to the run after getting home.  Super busy right now and starting to get a cold, so that is no fun.  (Kinvara green 372.25)

AM - 8 Twix/Sunrise.  Legs felt a little more lively than yesterday afternoon.  Not as cold as the weather said it would be.  (Peg blue 15)

AM - 8 Twix/Sunrise.  First winter style morning.  It was cold and icy.  I guess it is all downhill from here.  Bumma.  (Peg 669.75)

afternoon - 4 Grass.  Some cold barefooting over at Sandstone.  (Barefoot '15 83.75)

AM - 8 Twix/Sunrise.  The dog and I ran around DogTown a bit and up into Bella Vista.  The a very pertinent discussion on the evils of video games with the boys on the usual morning run.  And, of course, most don't quite see them the same way that I do.  (Peg Blue 23)

morning - 8 Dirt Mile. Twix and I went up to the DM and did the 30/30 workout from my 6 min test a couple weeks ago. Warmed up for three and then did 30 sets. Was on the whole time getting between .9 and .10 hovering around high 4 and low 5 pace. The dog was tired as we went into the twentieth, but I wanted to finish all 30. So she was a trooper and pushed on through. Cooled only back home, because I had some Church stuff to do. Still a lot of junk in my lungs, but felt I had better energy than I had the rest of the week. Sometimes you just need to run a little faster to break out of a funk. (Pace 171.25)

Not a bad week. I seem at peace to just run.

Goals for next week: keep taking care of the achilles and get my energy up a bit.
