Relentless

AM - 6 Dogpound.  Somehow I slept in a little and wasn't able to get in my full run.  Too bad, because I felt great this morning.  No knee pain at all (I had Al walk on my hammies Sat. and I think it hit the spot).  Maybe things are turning the corner from St. George.  (Landreth 493.35)

afternoon - 12 River Trail. Started out with the team as they went out 4 and back.  I kept on going and went down toward the DC and turned it around at 6.  Felt good but a bit fatigued.  No knee pain again!  (Cumulus white 367)

AM - 8.05 Green Springs w/ extensions both ways and past cemetery.  Run was okay, but I wasn't too strong.  Pretty slow; but again no pain in knee (hopefully that is done with).  (Landreth 245.35)

afternoon - 15.25 The Beast.  Boys took me through the wringer today.  Warmed up by going out to vote and back with a little extra as I waited for school to get out.  Then we warmed up to Harts.  Then we hit the 600,800,1000,1200 workout (3 sets) that I have worked the Varsity boys up to.  They wanted me to feel how tough it was... and it was!  Not the hardest workout ever, but a dandy.  Hit the times very solid - better than I thought I would, and tried to hang in there with the boys.  Austin pretty much owned me.  Then cooled down for 1.5.  I will be sore tomorrow.  (Stratus black 25.25)

AM - 8 Factory Stores.  After a real stiff slow beginning things went okay.  A little chilly out this morning, but really still not too bad.  Hopefully I worked out most of yesterday's workout.  (Cumulus blue 422.4)

afternoon - 10.7 GS/PL/WT.  A poor run.  Very tired in the legs and it showed.  Coming down turkey farm and down to the school, where I usually ave near 6:00 pretty easy, I was barely getting under 8:00.  That shows the body and legs need a little rest break - I'll take it tomorrow morning.  (Cumulus gold 25.7)

evening - 10.15 Club run.  The extra sleep treated me well.  Although I wasn't really tired, my legs enjoyed the time to recover this morning.  On the run it showed as I wasn't as dead.  It was good to talk about some issues that have come up that are really bugging me.  But it was difficult to learn that the Circle had been broken (Logan knows what I am talking about).  (Stratus bee 355.5)

AM - 8 Middleton.  Today wasn't a good run as my mind just raced about recent events in a very negative way - I could have used music on this one to distract me.  The run was actually okay, just not my thoughts.  (Cumulus blue 430.4)

afternoon - 9.05 Dog River.  Combination of dog pound and then onto the river trail and up the trail to nowhere and back to school.  In the last two miles from AC to Harts, I beat all the cars.  I bet they felt stupid stuck in traffic and getting passed over and over again by a runner.  Today I was actually able to hit the last 3 miles in the low 6's without much effort; it just took 6 miles of 8 minute running to get the legs flowing.  (Landreth 502.4)

morning - 18.2 Kayenta from SCHS w/ Clyde.  A god solid run.  Temps are the most amazing things in the world.  It would be heresy to miss running outside on a day like this.  Run went well, wasn't bugged by anything too much and it actually ended up being my best ave. since the SGM at 7:10.  After finishing, watched the end of the SC 1/2.  (Cumulus gold 43.9)

Went was solid.  Was able to take it over 100 even with letting myself sleep in one morning.  Had a very good interval workout back on Tuesday.  And legs may be coming back.

Goals for next week:  Again be over 100 (I pretty much just want to finish the year there 100-115).  Be positive in all aspects of life.
