Turn your rut into a groove.

am--3 Usual morning route w/ James. Felt crappy but went a bit quicker.

pm--5 Part of Anasazi w/ LG.

am--7 Rim Trails listening to Duncan Trussell and Will Oldham converse on esoteric things before my oldest daughter's wedding. Very nice day even though I feel beat.

pm--6.75 Anasazi w/ LG on the way out. Turned around near the petroglyphs. I also finished a great Japanese book in translation: Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. The main character can feel the rhythm and hear the voice of the store. It's both sad and funny.

pm--6 Threshold work and hill sprints w/ some barefoot laps on the turf. Felt surprisingly decent. 

am--3 Usual morning loop w/ James, Tyler, and Raymond. A bit chilly out.

pm--4.5 Vineyard via downtown. Flushed some of the leg gunk.

pm--5.5 Snuck to Anasazi before region this afternoon. 'Twas beautiful weather.

am--4.5 Double around Tuweap in the pleasant morning temps.

pm--5 Anasazi after school. Beautiful day after the wind died down.

pm--6 Anasazi w/ LG on the way out in between dance recitals. Nondescript anniversary.

pm--5 Halfway Wash w/ 5x :10 hill sprints. It was a bit rough for me today, but I survived. I also finished a ponderous book of essays by Brian Doyle called One Long River of Song. It's a good one to pick up here and there for a few minutes if you any to be struck by wonder.

pm--5 Partial Anasazi before heading to state track. 

am--6 Provo w/ Jody Benson. It was fun to explore some new running territory and chat w/ a fellow coach.

am--5 Freedom Blvd by my lonesome before the final day at state track. Had some great performances. James' was a standout even if he got nipped at the line.

pm--6.25 Anasazi w/ LG on the way out. Still trying to feel fresh and strong.

pm--3.75 Easy tready miles before bed. I really need to carve out some running time that doesn't impinge others and my relationships because without the physical release, I'm ornery.

pm--6 Barrel Roll in the early-afternoon heat. Worked into it nicely while learning about training from Jan Olbrecht. I also finished a great book about a nuanced LDS thinker called Lowell L. Bennion: A Mormon Educator by George B. Handley.

am--5.25 Heights run w/ some threshold bursts in the middle before my first learning-coach meeting. Feeling funky in a bad way.

am--4 Lower Anasazi exploration w/ Tom.

pm--5 Anasazi and LG by my lonesome. Today was a good running day.

am--5.5 Beginning of 5k training? My neighbor and I got a run in early. I also finished one of the best music books I've read: Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerrad.

am--5.75 Chipmunk lollipop in the mid morning. Decent run. I feel like I need a decent amount of not worrying about pace to build the bottom end of aerobic fitness. Anywho.

am--6 Small loop around Santa Clara w/ my neighbor. Felt good and enjoying running at the moment.

am--5 Halfway Wash w/ my neighbor. Building the lower aerobic capacity. I finished a cool graphic novel about a '70s Native American band, Redbone: The True Story of a Native American Rock Band by Christian Staebler, Sonia Paolini, and Thibault Balahy.
