AM - 5 Buena Vista.  Hit the old 5 mile BV run.  It was a good run.  Twix was her usual self.  Had a great sleep last night and it was a good start to the week.

afternoon - 9.75 DM. Warmed up on the shortened Parkway for 3 and then decided - because I was feeling super crappy and hoped it would open the legs up a bit, and also because it is actually just a good way to get a workout going - to do a mile at threshold (aka Tinman tempo - 6:30). This didn't really loosen me up at all, but whatever. Hit the 1/2 miles at 2:50, :44, :45, :44, :41. Good workout. Lungs felt stronger than last week. And I felt mentally stronger too. (Peg 31 795)

AM - 6 Parkway. A bit more pain in the achilles than I've had the past few weeks. Warmed up about a mile into it, though. (Peg Oly 197.5)

afternoon - weights. First time lifting in 7 weeks (since breaking the finger). Didn't hurt too much and was able to grip the weights enough. Will probably be a bit sore tomorrow.

AM - 4.5 Twix. Chill morning run with the dog which finished with 4xstriders. On my striders, I have been really trying to work on a solid butt-kick. I can tell my back kick is solid when I feel a little tug on my quads. I have also been trying to work on having a little spring in my step in every hill I encounter. I think these two focuses will start to bring back a little more speed and pep in my step. (Peg black 684.25)

afternoon - 7 Highland. Took Twix up onto the Highland Trail. It was a decent run, but there were too many people with there dogs off of leashes. I ran into more dogs than I usually see if people in the whole run. (VertK 613)

AM - 4 Twix. Ran the reverse direction and added Bella Vista instead of Pine Valley. The sunrise on the way to work was absolutely inspiring. (Riders 672.25)

afternoon - 9 Parkway tempo. Weights at school and then home for the run. Felt super blah and wondered how much I would get out of this. Tried to just chill and let the pace come to me. Went 5:55, :46, :56 and 6:11. Thug actually went pretty good. Changed the third mile to go across 300N to 300W instead of just down Main and Telegraph to avoid traffic. Maybe a little harder, but actually ran it pretty well. Briefly considered going into a 5th mile, but the 4th was pretty tough, and I decided until I can bring it down to not force another. Cooled for about 1.75 up into the DM. (Peg grey 191.5)

afternoon - 9 Sullivan. After a long day of grading and getting ripped off by the door decorating officials at school, Twix and I looped down onto the river trail. It was a pretty good run with a beautiful sunset. (Pace 371.25)

morning - 7 ND. Slept in and eventually got out with Twix. Wasn't too stoked to run today, so any run was a win. Pretty cold out and I was dressed for the chill. Also Twix decided to take off like an idiot when I let her off her leash. But I like running up there and making some trails. I my dream life, it would've made into a desert park and an XC course would be made there. (Peg blue 373.75)

Week was pretty good. A few more miles and decent workouts. 

Goals for next week: need to make sure I get up and run because if I sleep in too much, I don't want to really go.
