Relentless

evening - 3.5 Dirt Mile.  Both dogs for .5 and then Twix and I up on the DM.  Felt mighty junky today.  (Peg blue 198.25)

AM - 3 Twix.  Another junk run.  Actually not too bad at first, but the second half seemed so hard.  Maybe I really need to run a bit each day to work that out of me.  We'll see if I can do that a bit throughout the rest of the week.  (Cumulus 51.75)

afternoon - 2.5 Dirt Mile.  Hit some pretty hefty weights (for this skinny bod) while the team was out on their run.  Then got home and ran the dogs, then up on the DM.  Didn't go as long, 'cause I am planning on going a little bit in the morning, too.  (Cumulus 54.25)

AM - 2.5 Telegraph.  How about that; I actually did get up and run a bit.  Stuck to my plan of getting a little shorter run in again this morning.  I was no worse for the wear; just pretty much the same as I have been.  (Cumulus 56.75)

morning - 9.25 Dimple Dell.  Wasn't sure what I was going to do this morning, but I decided to just chill and run with the team.  Ran with the boys from the hotel up to the paved trail and over to the gully.  Got up past whatever road that Smith's and stuff is on and through the tunnel and into the stream bottoms.  Had a great run, but I was shot.  Fell off the boys a bit once we hit 30+ minutes and after the turn at 38 mins back to the swing.  But from there on, I was able to get back with them and enjoy it.  Was fun to run further and with the team.  Didn't feel too bad really other than being way out of shape.  (Peg black 498.75)

Another decent building week.

Goals for next week: just moving on.  Probably going to try and run a little each day.

afternoon - 5.25 Nisson's.  Can't really call it this anymore because there is no Nisson's, but whatever.  This run fairly killed me.  It was hot out and I am still nowhere near any sort of shape to hang with the boys.  I had to cut out early and finished up with Macey.  Tired set of weights after.  (Cumulus 62.25)

AM - 3 Twix.  Up early with the dog to get a few in.  Region track the next couple days, so that will take away any afternoon run opportunity.  Very nice morning out though.  (Peg blue 201.25)

AM - 4 DM/Mall.  Ran with the dog and up around the Dirt Mile and then 20 mins with the team out toward AC.  First morning run with the team all season.  Crazy.  (Cumulus 66.25)

AM - 4 DM/Mall.  Same thing as yesterday.  Wasn't planning on getting up, but I was wide awake from 4 on.  Which is way wierd, because I should have been tired after two long days at the region meet (which was awesome... kids all did great; a lot of qualifiers and great performances; and Ry won her first individual Region title, so hooray for her!).

afternoon - 5 Sullivan/Grass.  Was planning on running this afternoon, so I decided to anyway even after running this morning.  Figured I would just run the grass section with them although I figured barefooting isn't the best thing for my life right now; but once we got there I decided to go up the trail.  It was 97 this afternoon and it nearly killed me.  Didn't do all the minutes on the grass... I was getting pretty tired, but did about 10 minutes.  And will probably be totally healed becuase barefooting heals all.  (Peg black 507.5)(Barefoot 16 3.5)

morning - 4.5 DI/track.  Had planned on getting up and goign on a short trail before practice this morning.  But after getting to sleep super late (I think actually running is kind of messing up my sleep schedule) I was actually asleep when Ally woke up.  So I reset my alarm and just chilled until practice.  Ran the warm and cool with the boys and ran 4 of the 300's with the girls.  It was the fastest I've run for almost the whole year.  They are such a great group; just proud to be able to work with them and with Vis and watch their progress.  (Peg 31 738)

Not a bad week at all.  One week closer to the end of school (which actually I don't really care about other than not having to deal with kids that suddenly care about their grades - that would be one thing I really wish I could change about education somehow...).

Goals for next week: I try and get some decent running in before the weekend; then it is State.  Maybe I'll run on Tuesday for the first time in like 4 months... maybe.

AM - 5.75 DM/Mall.  Ran with Twix and then for 30 minutes for practice.  (Cumulus 72)

AM -4.25 DM/Mall.  First run on a Tuesday in over 3 months.  That is pretty crazy.  For most of the run, my achilles actually felt pretty good.  But it doesn't now.  (Peg blue 205.5)

AM - 4.25 DM/Mall.  Just kinda the usual for this week.  (Pace blue 68.5)

AM - 4.25 DM/Mall.  Pretty pissed about life right now.  The world is headed to a crappy place if my interactions with students and parents is any sort of indication.  (Peg blue 209.75)

AM - 3 Provo.  Participated in the annual coach's race at State today.  Ran over to the track from the hotel.  My achilles were both really hurting and the run was a struggle.  (Pace blue 71.5)

AM - 6 Provo.  Ran with Ryan and Vis up to the track and back to the hotel.  Felt way better than yesterday.  (Peg black 512.25)

Ran everyday this week.  Mission accomplished!

Goals for next week: Repeat... run everyday.

AM - 4 Runway.  With Twix up on the Runway... it is even more of a runway now that they have hardpacked it.  Legs hurt a lot on the way out and then felt a lot better on the way back.  (Cumulus 76)

afternoon - 4 DM.  Just kinda hard to get into it this afternoon.  (Pace 270.75)

AM - 6 North Desert.  For how old and out of shape I am... I sure suck at running!  Someday things will come back.  An important thing I am trying to do is actually not put myself down (although I just did that), because I think the body feeds on the thoughts we are putting out.  Beautiful and cool morning out in the desert, though... and I loved it.  (Cumulus 82)

morning - 5 Sego Lily.  Got a bit of a run in with Twix before heading down to Tyson's wedding and then heading out on our journey.  Hills are really a struggle for me right now.?  (Cumulus 87)

morning - 3 Owyhee Lake. First camp up in Oregon.  Pretty wiped out from the last two days of driving, so I didn't go far. Just took the road back from the campground. Stopped halfway to do some yoga on the hillside overlooking the lake. Got back and the girls were still asleep so I jumped in the lake. (Peg black 515.25)

Didn't run today.  We are in Eugene watching the Pre Classic. Had a great time.  The races  were amazing - tons of world leaders, American Records, and top 5 all-time performances.  I think it was cool for the girls to experience the whole thing. 

Didn't run the rest of the trip. A lot driving, but a lot of fun and cool memories.
