afternoon - 12.5 Foremaster/Dog Pound.  Ran Foremaster and then stopped off to run Wave Hills - they did not treat my leg well at all.  Finished up by going around Dog Pound - where I felt much better - and then Molly's Mile.  Laney rode her bike like usual, but she was wearing those funny face glasses with a mustache and big nose; she was hilarious!  (Boston 767.5)

afternoon - 8.75 Michigan.  Michigan with a DI warm and cool.  The workout went real well - actually the first time that I have hit the A standard (I think I ran twice last year, and this was the first try this year), and hit A in each of the 5 sections as well.  Wanted more miles, but the afternoon was much busier than I wanted and I wasn't able to get any more.  This week is just a sham for mileage for me, I can tell.  I am not really in a running mood and I don't know why... actually not really in much of a mood for anything.  (Hyper Speed 107)

AM - 13 Target.  Up at a decent early hour to get a run in before heading up to SLC.  Had to deal with the dang rental vans from the trip to Phoenix and that just put me in a bugged more - added to all the other stuff that is bugging me (which I can't really put a finger on anyway).  But the run was good, although just basically slow and chill.  Finished up with Molly's Mile.  (Mana 118.25)

late morning - 20 Dimple Dell.  Hoped that some trail running down in the Dimple Dell Canyon would perk me up a bit.  Passes numerous host of Turkey-Bowlers while I head the mile up the road to the Granite Park access for my little Thanksgiving tradition of a great trail run.  It was enjoyable, at times, but also a bit of a struggle.  I tried not to fight the parts that were tough - tough both physically and mentally - and just enjoy the parts that were fun.  The best part, like always was down in the stream bottom on the single track, so I doubled back on that section and actually headed up it again.  Ran about half the run shirtless... on Thanksgiving... in Salt Lake.  Crazy.  (NB 101 293.25)

late morning - 20 Bonneville Shoreline Trail.  Ran from Hidden Valley up on the BST.  AFter a few miles, I took one of the trails up the front of the mountain (it was called something about an Eagle).  It was a pretty intense trail and a very good workout for upcoming goals.  Then I barreled down that trail as I know that downhill on technical stuff is probably my weakest point of trail running.  Luckily I did this at the first of the run because I was blasting and would have killed myself if I was as tired as I was at the end of the run.  Kept going on the trail up into Corner Canyon and enjoyed some cool waterfalls and muddy and snowy sections of single track.  Really enjoyed the run, even being pretty worn down by the end.  I can't believe I have never run this trail before (although I tried a few years ago and it wasn't complete/open) as it is now my favorite trail run.  (NB 101 313.25)

morning - 20 SLC.  A few facts: 3 consecutive 20's is much harder than one might think (especially when the first 2 are on trails); I am very tired; this was a very mentally and physically demanding end of the week.  Somehow I made it through.  Kind of ran all over the place, up the south entrance to Little Cottonwood and down the north, then on Danish and Creek Rd, then around Cottonwood Heights (the old stompin' grounds) and then into Ft. Union (the other old stompin' grounds), back up the western section of Creek, on 13th to the in-laws neighborhood and around just a little to hit the mileage.  (Oregon 209.5)

Week was pretty decent, especially for all singles (and the slow beginning to the week).  Enjoyed the festivities of the week and my trail running.

Goals for next week:  I think I will back off just a little and then get back into some 100's to end off the year.  So next week would be good to back off since I am busy on Thurs-Sat down at Foot Locker anyway.
