AM - 3 Twix.  Abs and then a little shorter run with the dog.  I need to get up just 5 minutes earlier to get everything I want to do in - I've started an attempt to learn Spanish and while I don't have practice in the morning, I've been using some time there to practice.  Some of the basic stuff I learned back in school is coming back, but other stuff is a lot harder and will take time.  The goal is to have enough vocab that by the summer, I can find some way to start working on conversational stuff.  We'll see how it goes.  I don't know why the urge hit, but hopefully I'll stick with it.  I kind of like the challenge of learning.  Run was good, a little slower than usual lately, but a 172 cadence.  (Pace blue 194)

afternoon - 11.25 River Trail. Ran the same route home as last Monday on the Trail to Nowhere, Mosquito, then Sullivan and home. Another solid paced run at sub 6:45 and a solid 168 cadence. My own zing for running is coming along as well. Temps are off the wall; not to brag, but I ran shirtless again. (Peg black33 461.75)

AM - abs and walk with both dogs.

afternoon - 8.75 Parkway.  Ran the home via the Parkway.  Extended a bit around the Dirt Mile (better enjoy it before it is buldozed for businesses and townhomes).  (Boston 252.75)

AM - abs and walk with Twix.  Not feeling great, coming down with a cold and sore throat, so I just stuck to walking this morning.  We'll see about the afternoon.  

afternoon - 3 home. Just ran home after school. A bit blah. (Peg black33 464.75)

AM - abs and walk again. 

afternoon - 4.75 DogPound. Ran home via the DogPound and extended up King’s Row. Did not want to be out. End of the quarter is draining when you’re already drained. Wasn’t a good pacenor SPM. (Peg green 223.25)

morning - 10 Prospector. Went around the block with Elin and Molly. Then Twix and I went in the desert. It was a good run and just what I needed. Ran in a new pair of Hoka Speedgoats. I got them for free, or I would never have tried them - especially Speedgoats since they are named after Karl Meltzer. My only interaction with him is from my first Squaw Peak 50 (greatest comment forum on this blog ever, by the way; if you want to see what the “good old days” of the blog were like, go check it out in my races); anyway, Melzer was at an aid station, and when I came by in the lead he talked crap me. Screw that guy! I don’t care if you are some ultra superhero; we’ve never met, why you talking smack? So I still to this day I’m not super fond of him and it was tough to wear his shoes even if they were free. But hey, they were actually really good shoes, so whatevs!  And, of course, it was a beautiful morning in the desert. (Speedgoat 10)

Not an amazing week with being sick and cutting down mileage. 

Goal for next week: get feeling better and cruising with the team a bit.
