Relentless

afternoon - 7.5 DogTown/AC.  No run this morning.  Got a head cold over the weekend and it is beating me up.  First day back for practice this afternoon.  Trev and Mike showed up, so it was fun catching up with them.  Ran into Washington for 30 and then we extended around the AC and such.  Pace was actually pretty solid throughout.  (Peg Oly 205)

AM - 4 Twix. A bit with the dog. (Riders 676.25)

afternoon - 7.5 PVMS. Over to the MS with the team and some grass running. Ended with some striders. Then finished up with DI with Mike. (Pace 378.75)

morning - 4.75 Runway. Ran out on the runway and looped it to King's Row with Ry and Twix. Achilles hurting a bit. (Peg blue 378.5)

planned on running a tempo with Mike and Trevor,but I stepped on a nail while helping James move some stuff today and that kinda took me out of it. On he plus side, I just had a tetanus shot with my finger, so I didn't need another one.  

morning - 9.5 DogTown/Parkway. Ran around town with Ry and the dog. Then went to try and do sort of tempo. Felt okay at first, but looking back I could tell I was off (still sickish, tired, leg hurting, little motivation, soaked and cold).  First mile was 6:00 and then a bit better for 2 at 5:50. Instead of just going the normal four, I wanted to start working on more and thought 2x3 would be a good way to stretch myself. So because of the rain, I decided to stay off the DM and try to loops of the 3. This meant a super hard mile 3 and I was sucking big time. Only hit 6:30, so I just cut it and called it life. One good thing, my toe didn't hurt. (Peg grey 201)

morning - 5 Parkway. Hit the reverse route with Ry (and Twix, of course). Just a decent run with the dog being a pain as usual. A little drizzly. (Peg black 688.25)

morning - 5 Twix. Ry and I finished off the week with an extended Twix route. Raining solid throughout the whole run again. We threw in 3x3min tempo fartlek. Ave pace was 7:50 and Ry is handling these quicker runs easy. I think I'll chat with Vis and see what he thinks about having the V girls work their ave E run to that 8:10-:15 area. Achilles still hurting pretty bad. (Peg 31 799)

Week wasn't great (sick, slow, achilles) but it has been fun running with Ry. 

Goals for next week: just try and get back on track a bit.
