AM - 10.5 Parkway/DogPound. Not too tough to wake up this morning, but it was plenty cold. Felt pretty good throughout the run, but a little tired toward the end. Starting to get a good feel for the resting HR after taking it for the last few weeks.  It seems that 40 is pretty much usual and a bit higher after a hard workout.  So I'll keep tracking that and see if I can glean anything from it.  (Oregon 514.5)

afternoon - 10 Dam/Hell.  The run wasn't as bad as the name.  Went out to the Fields and ran up the Dam Rd. connecting over to Hell's Hole - where I did 5x10 sec hills.  Then up the Parkway and home and a little with the dog.  (Connect 406.75)

AM - 10.5 Parkway/DogPound.  Ran the same rout as yesterday, but through the Parkway in reverse.  I didn't feel faster, but ran a bit faster on the Parkway - so I wonder if this way (top down) is just a quicker direction with the hills?  I've got to get better gloves.  I hate frozen hands.  (F50 370.5)

afternoon - 8.5 Trail to Nowhere/home. Ran just over 5 and then back to PVHS to do weights. Then home and a little with the dog. Kind of want to be not tired some time... That would be nice. (Kinvara 744.9)

AM - 10.25 Clyde's.  Same solid run with the crew.  Not quite as chilly out this morning - but still cold.  (Rocket 514.5)

afternoon - 10.25 Dirt Mile Tempo. Warmed up for 4 around the Parkway and then got into the tempo - going for 5:40. Felt like a junk bomb today. I am just tired and feel tight. The hip flexor/abductors are a bit sore and it takes a bit to get warmed up. The higher mileage is hard on the body. So I didn't know what to expect (again, this is how I've felt on ever tempo this cycle). Ran a 5:42, :41, :43, :44, and :41. Not bad, but just not quite what it should be. I kept telling myself that I can't accept being a few seconds over because a few seconds over/mile in a race quickly adds up to a minute plus. Ended up feeling okay, just a little lazy here and there that cost me. Progress - will keep working. Short cool down back homeland with the dog. (Last Ohana 386.75)

AM - 6.5 BV.  A little easier morning.  Slept in for about half an hour and then ran around the block a little and then to school by way of Buena Vista.  Had to drop the hat and gloves today it was so warm out.  Didn't feel bad at all - that usually will set in this afternoon and tomorrow.  (Zero 134.75)

afternoon - 10.5 Megan/Megan. Same run as the other day - into the Fields and up the Dam Rd. and back home via Hell's Hole. Preceded by some masterful ultimate - there are now no doubts about who is the greatest ultimate player of all time. I don't know if I am so good because of my amazing talent, the way I make everyone around me better, my energy level, or my plain refusal to lose and drive to be the best... But whatever the case Panther Stadium was given a treat this afternoon, and that treat was the sweet sweet goodness of Dave. (HyperSpeed 309.25)

AM - 10 Middleton/KR Loop.  A bit of a rainy drizzle throughout the run this morning.  Went out by Green Pole in Middleton and then back home - then took it up around King's Row and looped that up 300.  Started off really tight in the hips, but then it was no big deal.  Enjoyed the rain.  (Boston 930)

afternoon - 4 Grass. Went out on the fields and ran on the wet cold grass. On the very first lap I slipped and got soaked up one side. Other than that the run wasn't too eventful. But it was nice to be barefoot - although cold. Just went four because I didn't have a lot of time. Then went and quickly hit weights; a really good set. (Barefoot '12 99.5)

AM - 15.5 St. George. Basically a tour of town with the Circle. Ran from VW Park back into Green Valley and then down to Bloomington Hills. Didn't push the pace at all, but it was a good run. Rainy throughout. (Kinvara3 217)

Solid week. Got the mileage I wanted and an okay tempo. Left foot is hurting a little now - plantars? Hopefully not.

Goals for next week: would like to push up to 110 and it is a double workout week - miles early in the week and tempo toward the end. Also practice gets going a bit again this week - just afternoons - so with all that and the end of the quarter and Christmas it should be busy.
