Relentless

morning - 16 Parkway/Warner Valley.  Took Twix around the Parkway and then headed down to a longer run with the team through the desert.  Good convo (some things that a coach should never learn) and good times running up Rainbow Road and other burms.  Achilles felt okay throughout.  (Peg 140.25)

No afternoon run.  Took it off to work in the yard, have a family bbq, and just enjoy life.

AM - 8.5 Twix/Sunrise.  Back to the usual.  Pretty dany tired this morning.  But the dog ran much better which was a bonus.  (Peg 148.75)

AM - 8.5 Twix/Sunrise. A little cooler morning. Dog did a little better - achilles, not so much. (Peg 157.25)

afternoon - 6 Damberg. Easy run with the team up to the pond at Turner's Turf. It isn't as swimable as Sandberg's. Opted out of 200's and weights because of my heinous achilles. (Kinvara blue 199.75)

AM - 8.5 Twix/Sunrise. Kind of a usual morning. Achilles felt a little better. (F50 791.5)

afternoon - 5 2xDI. Just a warm and cool with the team around their time trial. Kids did well; I'll brag about my 8th grade daughter that ran a 5:28. Achilles is hurting more as I sit in a less than thrilling scout meeting that probably won't see me come back. (Kinvara white 391.75)

AM - 8.5 Twix/Sunrise. Hit the usual again. Pretty wore down for the week. (Peg 165.75)

afternoon - 7 Sandberg's. Into Washington and then around Marlar's territory for awhile. Decided against sneaking into the half - any desire I have to run hard is being sucked out by my achilles. Ended with 8xbarefoot striders. (Barefoot '15 3)(Oregon 877.5)

morning - 22 DogTown Half. Took the dog around for just a mile and then went and met Haydo and Steven down at the park where we shuttled to the start of the DogTown. We just ran the course and had a very good run. Always good talking to Hayden and getting my Hawk-o-meter tuned in. And I hadn't run with Steven in a long time, so that was good. We just kind of moved along at what was basically a good 13 mile progression tempo for me. By the end we were going 5:40 and averaged just about 6:15 for the run. Hayden needed to get into a workout, so I sent him on his way and went and found most of my runners and ran with them all for a bit. It was fun and they all did great. I was pretty tired by the end when I had to run back to the park to get the Jeep. (Peg 187.75)

Decent week, I guess. Didn't hit any real workouts except for today (being the longest I have run in many months). Got a bit of a reminder what track season is like in limiting some of my running, but that will hit a lot more this coming week.

Goals for the week: recover a bit. Try a get good morning mileage in and don't worry about the afternoon.
