Relentless

afternoon - 7.5 Shnobe Kibe.  Nice run w/ Austin and Kimz.  Felt decent.  (Startus bee 383.45)

afternoon - 11 3x1600.  Warmed up with Austin on the Fire Station desert run (6).  Then I got into my miles.  They really weren't that great.  1-5:22, 2-5:23, 3-5:30.  No matter what I tried I couldn't get under the 1:20/lap.  It's like I was stuck there.  On the third one, I kind of just lost my drive on the final two laps, but was at 2:40 for the 800.  I can't get too down on it.  But at the same time, I really should be quicker.  Over the last three weeks my 1000's, 2000's, and now 1600's have all been stuck at 1:20/lap pace.  I think the turnover is just gone.  Cooled down with DI.  (Stratus black 66.25)

afternoon - 8 Parkway w/ Kimz.  Legs a little shot and gut was turning a bit.  But Corey kept me going with some interesting conversation.  (Landreth 523.4)

evening - 7 Club Run.  Went w/ James, Logan, and Dustin down 2450 and onto Mosquito and then up into Washington via DogPound, under the freeway and the little connection to GreenSprings and back to the store.  A good run.  Legs felt a bit fresher and at times I wanted to take off - but no point in doing that.  Had to cut a mile or two as I needed to get back home.  (Landreth black 293.55)

afternoon - 12 River Trail.  After warming up down to the trail, I hit 6x1 min. fartlek as fast as possible w/ 1 min/ recovery.  They felt pretty good.  Was pretty tired by the end of them and breathing hard.  Then brought the 4 1/4 back up the trail at Tinman pace.  Felt pretty good, but it got hard at the end as I hadn't done any sustained tempo since SGM.  Then cooled it down back up to school.  (Cumulus gold 417.05)

morning - 14.65 Bear Claw Poppy Trail.  Decent run w/ Clyde, Steve. Logan and Ruthie.  Very hard trail with ups and downs and uneven terrain that held the pace back.  But it worked us over pretty good.  (Cumulus gold 91.55)

Well, week was pretty solid again.  Kept the pain down for the most part.  Didn't run any morning - maybe I will bring that in a time or two soon.  

Goals for next week: Completely finish the 2000 workout.  Try to make time to run in this crazy week.  Again, keep hip/ab pain at the manageable level and keep feeling pretty excited like I have been.  Mileage should probably be around 60 again.  But that may fluctuate with the craziness of the week or if I do decide to wake up.
