Relentless

afternoon - 13 Grass/Green Springs.  Got out and hit 6.5 miles barefoot on the grass.  Leg felt great, right up until the end.  Then as a team we went up GS and hit 5 more there with 5 fartleks (nothing in my legs though) and finished up with Molly's Mile.  (Barefoot '11 184.5)(Kinvara 498.15)

afternoon - 11 Dog Pound/Mall.  Just an easy 4 with the team; then I extended around the Mall Run with the Trail to Nowhere and then Molly's Mile.  Improvement in the hip: pretty good while I am only running singles, and feeling better after really hurting at some points on Saturday.  The leg: off and on.  I really don't know what the deal is with it.  (Hyper speed 118)

afternoon - 13.5 River Trail.  Headed down onto the River Trail and had a slow slow run.  Molly's Mile.  (Last Ohana 252.5)

evening - 4.5 Cali.  An easy shake-out after arriving in Cali for Footlocker West.  I guess I should have got up this morning.  (Rocket 182.5)

AM - 17 Cali.  Got up early with Logan and ran a good 17 miler down from the hotel down Diamond Bar Blvd. and back.  It was interesting watching the traffic and being so happy that I don't live here.  Woke up last night and my knee was swelling up.  It didn't hurt as I ran, but gave me trouble the rest of the day.  (Oregon 226.5)

mid-morning - 3 Cali.  Ran on the course - Mt. Sac.  A pretty neat course, if it only had more room.  Had to run in some old Stratus (blue) that I just wear around.  My knee didn't hurt while running, but didn't let up after.  (Stratus blue -3) 

AM - 8 Cali.  Ran down Diamond Bar again before heading over to the race.  (Rocket 192.5)

Week was good for recovery.  My shin feels back to normal and my hip is feeling no issues at all, but this new thing with my knee has me worried.

Goals for next week: I'll see what my knee will let me do.  I had wanted to hit good mileage and doubles throughout, but probably not.
