Relentless

AM - 4 Treadmill.  Hit an easy four on the treadmill in the five fingers.  (Five Fingers 85.85)

afternoon - 9.2 6x1000's.  Good set of 1000's today.  Warmed up and cooled down with DI.  Ran the 1000's on the grass and dirt around PV.  Hit a 5:15 pace on pretty much every one (with the 3rd about 6 seconds quicker for some reason).  Hadn't done this type of workout for awhile, so I was pleased with the results, but it worked me.  Molly's Mile. (old ohanas -9.2)

AM - 7.5 AC/laps/2450.  Ran the same old this morning.  Felt pretty good.  I thought the fatigue from yesterday would set in.  It will this afternoon.  (Stratus bee 785.9)

afternoon - 4.5 Library.  Ran from PVHS to library and back to vote before Parent-Teachers.  Got to love 'em.  Soreness and fatigue was there this afternoon!  (Free 49)

AM - 6.5 AC/2450.  Still a bit tight from the other day, but working its way out.  (Triumph 431.3)

afternoon - 7 grass.  6 miles barefoot and then 8xstriders.  Hadn't done barefoot or striders for a while, and I felt like an old man for both.  Then I lifted for the first time in many months - trying to really strengthen up my hips (especially the left that has been giving me so many problems) - kept it very light and with just two reps.  Left hammy really tightened up - maybe that is related to the problems with the hip?  (barefoot '09 174.65)

AM - 7 2xAC/laps.  Really worked the left hammy over on the roller last night to work out whatever is going on there.  Also popped a few ib's this morning to try and get some pain relief.  Hip also woke me up a few times last night.  Run was a bit tender at first but not too much of a problem.  (Landreth orange 500.2)

evening - 10.05 Club.  Ran up DC trail then across to Bloom. Hills and then down trail and back.  Molly's Mile.  Hammy felt okay.  Worked over a bit before going and after.  Icing and rolling a lot.  (Stratus black 512.95)

AM - 7 2xAC/laps.  Temps were awesome this morning.  Legs feeling?  okay...  (Cumulus white 754)

PV Autumn XC Festival

afternoon 10 PVHS.  Set up the course and ran around for a warm up.  Then ran DI warm up with the kids.  Figured that if I was around 17 I would be pretty happy with the run.  Course is a pretty tough one and a full 5K.  Started out moderate and a bit behind all my top boys.  Within the first 3/4 mile I had moved up to 5 (behind my top 4) where I would stay the rest of the race.  Pulled even with Tyson a couple times, but need to really work on speed and hammering out the pace to be able to hold with those top boys.  Miles were like 5:15, 5:32, 5:40, and 5:30 pace finish.  Felt fine about it.  Next one, before Christmas, I would like to knock off 30 seconds.  Cooled down cleaning up the course and around the school.  Molly's Mile. (old ohana -7.8)(Free 51.2)

evening - 10 CC/Rock Canyon.  Molly's Mile.  Went out to Coral Canyon via Grapevine and over the top.  Then connected down into Rock Canyon watching an awesome sunset.  Took it nice and easy, plus I was pretty tired from a long day in the yard.  But running in the evenings is perfect right now.  Hammy didn't bug at all.  (Stratus grey 345.85)
