XC practice with my kids.  I am sore freakin sore from Saturday, probably as bad as after St. George last year.  I did a super easy and slow 7.5 miles with some of my varsity girls. We ran on all four canal trails around Riverton.   My legs started to loosen up a bit on my run but now they are worse than before.

XC practice with my kids.  Easy 10k run with my varsity guys on a loop down to the pool and back.  I made them keep it easy for them and for me.  I am a hundred times better than yesterday, but my lower calves are still trashed and my other muscles are dead.  It takes a while to get moving.

No run today!  I had a huge knot in my foot and spent some time working it out and now my foot is very sore.

XC practice with my kids.  We did an easy 5 mile loop around Riverton followed by 4x100 meter barefoot strides.  Foot is feeling better.

I have been absolutely trashed this week and my running has suffered because of it. I went out today later in the morning because I slept in until almost 8:00 am. I was tired and the legs felt sluggish from the start. I did a loop up to AF canyon via Lone Peak and came back through Cedar Hills. It was pretty darn hot and I was super grateful that there was a drinking fountain at a park in Cedar Hills. My right hammy started to get tighter toward the end and I was way tired on top of that so I slowed up a little. I felt lucky to run as good as I did for how horrible I felt. I was disappointed in how much trouble I seemed to have on an 11 mile run. 1:20:03

I am really starting to get tight in my hammy from that glute tightness a month ago. I need to get it taken care of soon so that I can start doing some faster training and racing. I can feel it all of the time, running or not.
