Relentless

morning - 6 Treadmill.  Al was out doing stuff, so I had to run this morning on the treadmill.  Warmed up for a couple miles and then ran 3 around Tinman.  Finished with Molly's Mile.  (Five Fingers 113.85)(old Ohana -3)

afternoon - 11 Mustang Pass.  A nice run up Mill Creek and on my favorite trail close to my house.  Some deer had been up on the trail.  (Landreth black 777.85)

mid-morning - 12 Sand Hill/Dino Tracks.  Took Molly out for 1.75 and then up Mill Creek onto Sand Hill.  The light rains made the sand great and broke down the horse tracks a bit.  Started to sleet a bit up at the top.  Then connected onto Dino Tracks and back home.  Good trail running.  (Landreth orange 534.2)

morning - 5 Parkway.  Easy 5 on the Parkway.  Not too cold out, in fact wished I wouldn't have been so dolled up.  (Free 88.2)

 afternoon - 12 Prospector.  Molly's Desert Run; then out onto Prospector via Grapevine.  The trail was great - another one of my favorites - but my legs seem so spent (just so flat for the last few months) and my hip has seem to have been taking a step back the last couple days.  Kind of frustrating.  (Triumph 382.3)

noon - 20 Ice House.  Molly's Mile.  Ran up the Ice House trail via Mill Creek and Power Line.  Stayed on the Ice House instead of breaking off to Broken Mesa - hadn't ever gone this direction before.  It was a good trail, but not often used.  Took me up into the trees and into a little snow and a lot of mud.  On the way back my hip started killing and I had to walk for a bit.  At that point I thought about shutting it down for the year and just letting the hip heal.  But then I started up again and there was no pain and just minor tightness/fatigue.  (Landreth blue 207.5)

Took the day off and had a fun Christmas.

noon - 7 SLC.  Took Molly for two miles and then ran Sego Lily.  Didn't really want to go out today, but as usual, glad I did once I got going.  Hip had minor pains for the first two, but then ended up feeling great.  (Triumph silver 137.15)

Had a good week.  Enjoyed the trails, but tired of fighting my hip.  But I just can't bring myself to shut it down when it feels good.

Goals for next week: just enjoy another one.
