Relentless

AM - 5 Treadmill.  5 pretty tired miles on the treadmill.  (Five Fingers 90.85)

afternoon - 10.5 XC ladder.  DI warmup and cool.  Ran a 600, 800, 1000, 1200 ladder up and down with the boys today.  Felt a little week at first - in the 600 and 800 and then just got stronger.  Each repeat coming down was better than that going up.  Molly's Mile.  (old ohanas -10.5)

AM - 7 2xAC/laps.  Didn't feel to bad after yesterday's hard workout.  We'll see how I feel this afternoon.  (Free 58.2)

afternoon - 9 Fields.  Ran down into the fields - to Corey's house.  Didn't feel as worn out as I thought I might.  Molly's Mile.  (Triumph 341.3)

Weights - did 3 sets of the same low weight as last time.  Hammies started to tighten up a little on the last set of squats (like last time), but not nearly as bad; and they stretched out good after.

AM - 7 2xAC/laps.  The usual this morning.  It was so tough to get up this morning.  Hip still giving me quite a bit of grief.  (Stratus black 519.95)

afternoon - 7.25 hills.  Ran over and ran grass hills by the middle school - I'll call them waves; it is two 30 meter fairly steep hills.  Ran 6 continuous sets of them.  8xbarefoot striders. Hills are where my lack of leg strength really comes out.  Molly's Mile.  (Stratus grey 353.1)

AM - 7 2xAC/laps.  The usual this morning.  Warm today.  Got new shoes, a pair of Triumph 7's.  Felt okay - a lot like my other Triumphs (hurt feet at first, but have become good shoes).  Hoping that if I run in new shoes more, my hips can get feeling better (right hip has started acting up as well as the pain in the left).  (Triumph silver 7)

afternoon - 7 Washington.  Ran 6 into Washington and back and then Molly's Mile.  (Landreth orange 507.2)  

AM - 7 2xAC/laps.  Rained throughout the night and during the run this morning!  Hips also felt just a little better.  (Triumph silver 14)

afternoon - 7 Shoe Run.  Went out on the Shoe Run with a big group of kids.  Jumped into Sandberg's and it was cold!  Finished with 4x200's.  Legs could use a little more of that.  Weights (easy and 3 sets - no arms, with rotator cuff injury causing big issues right now) and Molly's Mile.  (Landreth blue 144)

morning - 17.65 Desert Tour.  Had a great club run into the desert above my house.  Ran up to Maverick to meet everyone.  Then we crossed the under the freeway at Grapevine and headed out on Church Rocks/Prospector (with a little lost detour).  We then headed up Cottonwood Hills (hadn't ever taken that trail - very cool in the wet sand).  This trail somehow connected to the top section of Bracken's Loop - hadn't ever seen that connection before.  Then we got up to City Wells and down and under the freeway at the Trailhead (where Clyde lost his shoe in the mud!  So funny!).  Finished by running home and Molly's Mile.  Hips felt a little better again, but still not great.  (Triumph silver 31.65)

Good week.

Goals for next week:  Keep working on the health of the hips (and now shoulder).  Enjoy our team trip to Phoenix and have the kids run well down there.
