Relentless

Junction - still wondering when I'll get some of my speed back. But trying to be patient.

10 (w/hills) Garbage Dump - felt the best I have in months. My legs actually picked up and had a little zip.

4 treadmill @ 8 mph for first 1/2 then .1 faster for each subsequnet 1/2 to work on getting my runs a little quicker.

8 Sunrise - a bit tired again.

4 treadmill - kept it at 8.0 mph because I was a little tired, but put incline at 1%

9 Fire Station hills x 8 - plus Warm Springs and Washington Loop into the 8th ward. Took awhile to get into it. Tired from late night of fireworks.

10 Wendy's - got to sleep till 6 AM. I felt great.

6 planned to run with club, but no one was there. So I went to Bloomington and ran up the trail. A little tired, but got into it, so I don't need as many miles tomorrow.

weights

Green Springs - hopefully a little rest today will put some spring in my legs for tomorrow.

9 Factory Stores extended- had a moment where my legs felt like they might break through - but fleeting.

3 (w/ team) - Sandberg's Pond

weights

10 Wendy's extended

3.5 (w. team) Washington Loop

Green Valley- took it easy (w/o carbs or gato) to try and just run it all. Did pretty well (walked once) and recovered quick.

100 mile week done!

It is funny as I enter these months in, I thought I had done more long runs, more 100 mile weeks, and also I think I just pin pointed when I hurt my PF - right about here. Raises more questions about 100 mile weeks for 2007.

9 Factory Stores extended - felt pretty good. Thought I was a little quicker, but same today as always (7:30 ish)

3.5 Washington Loop

5 - 3x mile @ pace (6:00) scared at first when cranked up treadmill to 10 mph, but made it all three times.

3 - Fire Station hills x 3 with team

weights

3 (w/ team) Sandbergs Pond

6 on treadmill

Decided to get some sleep and not do 10 this morning.

Middleton - worried about run tomorrow because I can't seem to pick up pace at all.

4 mile warm up and cool Race - A good run with a bit of downhill at first then evens out for the last 2 1/2 miles. Wrote: Felt good, let leaders pull me along (Logan, and a few others; Jose was way up). Set good even aplits (5:14, 5:25, 5:22, 5:28, 5:35, 5:50 ish) Did a lot better than I thought! Total time was 33:49 Looking back at the race, I did better than I expected with very little to no speed work. Was please with the result.

4.5 treadmill 2x800's supposed to do 3 but started feeling very sick (overheated)

decided to take the rest of the week off to help with the Plantar Fasciitis.

Since this was a rest/recovery week I thought this would be a great time to try and get it feeling better.

12 late Sunday night (early Monday morning) ran because I couldn't sleep. A good run, just over 7:00/mile - foot felt okay

6 - mile repeats at pace (I don't know how many, maybe 4) pretty tired at end, but did it.
