morning - 13 Bracken's Loop.  Awesome morning in the desert snow with Logan.  The run was absolutely beautiful with the snow on covering the sand and resting on the red rock cliffs.  It really was pretty.  Had a good run and conversation with Logan.  Then took the dogs out on the Dirt Mile.  (VertK 399)

0 - Just really haven't felt right, so I decided to take the weekend off and just enjoy being with my girls.

0 - some of the malaise may be a bit of sickness that is hanging out in my sinuses.  Had a big headache most of the day.  Besides that, it was just nice to chill and not worry about running.

afternoon - 8 DogPound.  Nice to get back with the team today.  We ran DogPound with a little extension to get around 35 minutes and 4.75 miles.  Got home and ran another 1.75 with Pyper and the dogs.  I enjoy running with any of my girls - they are fun.  Then got word that the Jeep was done at the shop (broke down in the middle of an intersection on the way to school today - that was a ton of fun!), so I ran back down the DogPound to the shop and picked it up.  Hopefully they fixed the problem, with the Jeep, that has been causing problems the last month.  Driving home, it seems so.  (F50 756.25)

afternoon - 5 Quail/Dirt Mile.  Team went to the trails out by Quail today and we had a good run.  Not many miles because it is a very tough and curvy trail and then we summitted this crazy clifff, but it was fun.  Took the dogs around the loop when I got home.  (Peg 13.5)

0 - another zero. Had a track scheduling meeting which was okay because my left knee pudged up and I could barely walk and my right knee was still sore from whatever popped in it the other day. So the off day was accepted.

afternoon - 5.25 Trail to Nowhere. Nice run with the team except when I fell twice and hit right on my sore right knee both times. Didn't run with dogs after because it was hurting so bad. (Lyte33 192)

morning - 14 DC. Ran with the Utah XC coach of the year - Logan; and Steven and Aaron. Ran the reverse loop into the Fields and Little Valley and down to Bloomington. I would like to get going more again, but I am not ever wanting to get up early and I will be very limited with afternoon time soon enough with the new track situation. (Kinvara green 274.25)

A bad week for my knees. The left is on the mend, but yesterday's falls bruised up the already sore right one pretty bad.

Goals for next week: if I get up to run once next week it will be a success. It will be the first time in many years that I haven't run the SG Half. That's kind of a bummer.

AM - 4 Neighborhood.  I actually did it - I woke up!  Took Twix around with me to try and wear her out a little.  It was a nice morning with a little rain and the warmth of the overcast sky.  Enjoyed it.  (Kinvara white 377.75)

afternoon - 7.25 River Trail. 20 mins at Tinman thrown into the middle. Team ran well and held pace pretty well. (Peg 20.75)

AM - 4 neighborhood.  Just running around with Twix finding a decent little 4 miler I can take her on.  (Lyte33 196)

afternoon - 7.25 Loops.  Ran down to find a hill for my sprinters to run on and then a few laps around the PV fields during an afternoon assembly.  Then ran with the sprinters down to the hill and did their workout with them.  Finished off by introducing them to Beast and Feast.  (Ronin 506.25)

AM - 5.5 Parkway.  Took the dog all the way around the Parkway today.  She is quite the runner and did just fine.  I wish I could get her to quit pulling to the side; it really wears my arm out.  (Kinvara Lime 587.25)

afternoon - 7 Old Man Hills.  Went over and did 4x800 hills.  Kept the pace controlled - ran with the girls for 3 and the boys for the final one.  Did 10 minutes of eliptical and the team lifted.  shoes?

morning - 14 Sullivan Loop. Took the dog around for a bit and dropped down to the River Trail. Ran into my cuz-in-law Steve Shepherd at Hell Hole and had a good little chat. My tempo was a load of garbage; it was good I didn't race today. Went 5:49 after being over 6:00 for about 2/3 of the mile. It was too aggressive and I paid for it. The rest went 6:02, 5:59, 5:44, 6:02 and pushed to 5.5 finishing with 6:20. Super crappy. (Kinvara Blue 170.5)

Week over. Good deal. It was good to attempt to run hard today. It would be nice to run faster again.

morning - 10 Suicidal Tendencies. Super dope as always. Took the team out to the Santa Clara trails and a group of the boys and I did the full loop. Such an amazing trail - my fave ever. (NB 101 704.75)

afternoon - 5.25 Dirt Mile. Took Twix up for a few laps on the extended version and the added in Molly for another mile. Nice afternoon. (Ronin 511.5)

AM - 9 Neighborhood/Sunrise.  Took Twix out for a bit this morning and then over to morning practice with the team.  Always hard to wake up, but I just need to remember that not only do I have to do it to get any running in, but it is also the best way to start the day.  (Free 980.95)

afternoon - 5.25 PV. Got practice going for all the groups, then jumped in with the distance girls for 3x1600. They did a great job hitting 6:17-6:22 for their 85% effort. Cooled a couple big loops with the boys. Then BeastAndFeast. (Kinvara3 798.5)

AM - 8 Neighborhood/Sunrise. Twix and I braved the morning and then a bit with the team. Don't remember the shoe; have been doing this too much lately and missing out on tracking that shoe mileage.

afternoon - 8 track. Can't really remember the distance, but I think it was around here. Started off running with the sprinters a bit, but they really aren't that fun. So I jumped in with the boys and did their 15 min tempo. Started around 5:50 and dropped into the high :30's. Just over 10.5 laps in the time. (Hyper speed 2 554.75)

afternoon - 7 IceHouse. Just an afternoon run today. We decided to trail it up for practice today, and I had about the worst shoe possible on for it. The climb was tough and the descent wasn't great. But the view was awesome. A few of the team (guys and girls) have shown some great stuff this week and are really going to do good things this season and beyond. (Lyte33 203)

morning - 13.5 Sullivan. Went out a bit later in the morning after sleeping in for awhile. Took the dog around the Dirt Mile a few times and then down to try a tempo. Hoped for a little better results than last week. I decided to flip the loop and head down to the park first. This would make a big uphill mile, but allow me to start and end on the downhill grade of the river. Went 5:48, 5:49, 6:12, 5:49, 5:48. Still wasn't a great tempo, but it was something. I was actually probably most satisfied with the mile up the Dam Rd. The whole mile is uphill and I have raced it a couple times (once in a 10K and once in a half) and neither time was I too far under 6:00, so to be at 6:12 for an out-of-shape tempo wasn't too shabby. It actually took a lot out of me and I worked pretty hard on the next two miles to make them decent. Wasn't able to push the extra .5 mile for the full loop because I was pushing the puking verge (some of that probably dealt with the lack of food in my system; no breakfast and it was now close to 11). (Adios 268.5)

Week was a step in the right direction.

Goals for next week: continue to work on getting in shape while balancing a rather busy life.

AM - 8.5 Neighborhood/Sunrise. With the dog out and about for a bit. Then to practice for the morning run. (Kinvara silver 491.5)

afternoon - 10.5 DI/track. Warmed up and did 6x1600. Did the first three with Nick at 5:22, :20, :15. Then he was out so I joined the next group of boys and we brought it in at 5:22. Then Josie needed someone to help her out since she was a little late and we did 6:25 and 6:20. All with 3 minute recovery and then a little cool down with the boys. Actually lifted a little bit after which felt pretty good. The workout was good and I felt pretty good through the four faster 1600's. Then the ones with Jos actually made a pretty good recovery.

afternoon - 6 Sprint Hills/loops.  Went and did a hill workout with the sprinters.  Don't get many miles on these days as sprinters spend more of their time standing around and recovering than running.  Not really my bag.  (Kinvara silver 497.5)

AM - 8.5 Twix/Sunrise.  Just going to call the neighborhood loop I run with the dog Twix now to save me the extra time of a few more letters.  Did that run and then over to practice for the usual.  (Kinvara Green 282.25)

afternoon - 7 DI/track.  Took awhile to figure out why I was tight and sore this morning - it was the BeastAndFeast yesterday; super tough set.  Ran the tempo with the girls after helping a few of the groups get their paces on.  Team isn't minding the tempos on the track too much as they are seeing the benefits of keeping track of time and pacing more effeciently.  A little lifting after and 15 minutes of eliptical.  (Peg 35.75)

AM - 5.75 Twix.  Wore the Pegs again.  I know it isn't best for the shoe, but it is the highest heel I have and my right achilles has been giving me some pain for awhile.  Yesterday I bumped it and about cried.  (Peg 41.5)

afternoon - 7.5 Old Man Hills. Ran over to the hill and ran 4x800 with the distance boys. I'm. Pretty far off where I've been on these, but the a few of the guys (and a bunch of the girls) aren't. this isn't the first - or last - time I'll say this... Watch out XC world; PV girls are going to Beast and Feast for years to come! (Oregon 862.25)

AM - 7 Twix/Sunrise. Slept in a few today, which was nice. Have been wearing the Pegs a lot this week trying to help achilles. Hurts a bunch. Rainy today. (Peg 48.5)

afternoon - 8 Root Beer Mile/Prospector. On the down side, my Root Beer Mile was horrid. I was the absolute last person out of the gate. The leaders were finishing their first lap when I finally got my first one down. I don't know what the deal was, but I just got a gas bubble totally stuck in my gut and could drink or burp or anything. From there on out I did pretty well, but still struggled in to a 12:50. Last year I was over 3 minute quicker. On the up side, the XC team raised around $1000 to help a sick little fellow in our area - PVXC4ever! Then we went over to Prospector and ran the trails in the mud. Beside my achilles just being heinous and the huge sugar headache I had, the run was awesome. Love the desert in the rain!

morning - 14 Sullivan. Ran the dogs for a bit and dropped of Molly and finished up to four miles with Twix. Then over to Hell's Hole to do a tempo. Started up at the top of Hell's Hole so I could get 6 miles in - so the splits are in different places than last week. I did pretty poor today - just didn't really have anything in me, but I did do all 6 miles. Next week will be better. Miles went 5:53, 5:53, 6:14, 6:15 (the hill was split between these two miles, but still just off as shown by all the times), then 5:54, 5:55. At least it was a very pretty morning. (Peg 62.5)

Followed that up with some ultimate. The PVXC All-Stars dominated the tourney (sponsored by the track team) and won the title! Not really because of me though. And once again we raised a bunch of cash for the Mr. PVHS fundraiser. These kids are pretty cool around here.

Another building week. Did okay with stuff.

Goals for next week: keep chipping away at this thing.
