Relentless

afternoon - 12 River Trail.  Got out from meetings a little later than I had hoped, but still got a good run in.  Felt strong, but not totally on which was fine since I wasn't trying to set records.  But I still wanted to run quick to get done and home for the day.  Saw all sorts of people: Jake Hoeffelman (sp?) was down on the trail getting his mission pictures done, the Topham fam was out for a jog, Steven was headed home from work.  Great day out.  (Connect 386.75)

AM - 6 King's Row/BV.  Ran a couple and then back home to make sure Rylee was up and then over to school by was of Buena Vista.  Nice morning - no gloves or hat.  It may be a bad thing that the weather has been so nice - no rain, no snow on the mountains.  (Triumph silver 811.05)

afternoon - 11 Dirt Mile.  Ran from school to the dirt mile by way of the Parkway and then did a 2 mile tinman tempo - felt fine and hit it right at 6:00.  Then got into a mile workout.  Wanted to get 5:20 for however many I could.  But I was just working really hard for little result from the body.  Hit 5:24, :23, :27.  Haven't done any mile repeats in a long time, so I'll give myself a pass - and at least I established a baseline - but I thought I should have done better.  3 minute recovery jog between.  Then a short cool back home.  (Last Ohana 376.5)  

AM - 10.25 Clyde's.  Just Logan and I for the run this morning.  I was pretty dang tired the whole time - sleepy and legs.  (HyperSpeed2 238.25)

afternoon - 6 Foremaster.  Pretty dang slow today.  Felt yesterday's workout for sure.  So just chilled and tried to run the junk out a little.  Weights after - they actually felt really good.  (Free 721.95)

AM - 6 King's Row/BV.  Same run as the other morning.  A little cooler out this morning, but still not what you would expect.  Felt a bit better this morning.  (Rocket 504.25)

afternoon - 8 Grass/home.  Went out to the ball fields and grabbed some grass and then ran home.  In between played some ultimate with the XC guys in place of my striders - a good time was had by all.  (Barefoot '12 95.5)(F50 360)

AM - 6 Parkway.  Just couldn't wake up this morning.  I kept snoozing.  Part of the problem is that I don't need very many miles today since I am only getting 80'ish this week.  Also I wasn't forced out of bed by having to run to school today.  So by the time I finally got up (5:40) I only had time for 6 which was too bad because it was a nice morning.  (Boston 920)  Who would have thought these shoes would get this many miles.  They are totally thrashed - bottoms worn off, holes forming all over and stitching coming undone; but they still feel great.

Only run for the day as it is a busy afternoon with Ry in a swim meet and some other stuff going on.

morning - 15 SGM. Was able to get a later start in. Took Ry to her swim meet and had about two hours (turned out to be about 4.5) until she swam - and won by the way. Ran from SHAC up the course 7.5 - right to the top of Winchester. Ran pretty strong on the way up and hoped to get a decent push back down. Did pretty well, but not amazing. Really like this workout as it combines three essential elements: uphill, negative split, threshold tempo. A long way to go to get in great shape - plenty of time too. Tested out the new 310 - nice watch, I think I'll like it a lot. (Kinvara3 191.5)

Decent week. Was able to recover a bit and still get in a couple good pushes.

Goals for next week: back to 100+ if I am feeling well. Get in the weight room twice and a tempo probably Weds.
