AM - 13.5 Warm Springs/Green Springs.  Felt good on Warm Springs this morning; no real hip struggles from Saturday.  Then ran over to practice where we ran Green Springs and I annoyed everyone by talking about "State of Play" for the whole run.  (Barefoot '10 72.5)(Kinvara 30.5)

weights and plyos this afternoon

afternoon - 5.5 Parkway.  Pushed Laney in the stroller on the Parkway - not an easy feet.  Stopped off at Warm Springs and ran 10x10 sec. hills.  No ach. pain like this morning.  (Old Ohana -5.5)

AM - 13 Parkway/Mill Creek.  Easy warm up run around the Parkway and then over to practice where I mapped out the .5 and 1 mile courses for the Kids Summer Club.  And then up past Tortoise Fence on Mill Creek for practice.  Kind of tired today - couldn't have anything to do with our house being nearly 100 degrees the last two days because of a broken AC (had to take the family down to sleep at my parents' since it was so hot).  (Stratus grey 536.35)

lap swim: 8 min. - had a good swim today.  

pool running: 20 min. - 10x1 min. hard/30 sec easy.

AM - 13 Buena Vista/City Wells.  Ran out around the Buena Vista loop and then for practice we ran up the trail toward City Wells.  Hip was iffy throughout the Buena Vista section, but didn't bug at all as we ran up the dirt road.  (Triumph 536.25)(Barefoot '10 73)

afternoon - 9.25 Fields/Little Valley.  Did the same run as last week after dropping Pyper off at art.  Today was much nicer.  Felt really good; the hip didn't give me one problem, and the clouds kept the direct sun off of me for most of the run (a 105 in the shade is much nicer than 105 with the sun bearing down on you).  (Free 265.95)

morning - 6 grass.  Easy morning of grass running at practice.  Not only is it nice to run on the grass, but it is nice to run with some of the other kids that I don't usual get to run with.  (Barefoot '10 79)

weights and plyos.  Pretty tough stuff today.

PM - 8 Club.  Ran the usual loop around Bloomington.  Felt pretty good again tonight.  No hip issues and as we picked up the pace around TM for the final 3 felt strong and enjoyed the company.  (Kinvara 38.5)

AM - 12.5 Warm Springs/Powerline Trail.  After a long night without as much sleep as I need, I struggled through 4 very slow miles and then got over to practice where we ran from Middleton Park up the trails onto the Powerline.  Still a bit tired, but actually felt quite a bit better once we got going.  Corey almost stepped right on a rattlesnake just before I yelled out to him and he jumped over it and sprinted away; that got us going a little quicker as well!  (Cumulus gold 569.75)

lap swim: 5 min. - not too long today, felt like it was a bit hard so I stopped.

pool running: 25 min. - 2x6 min. hard/2 min easy.  Longest repeats I have done for pool running.  It is a long time to keep it focused and moving hard.

Steven Abraham Lincoln Hooper Memorial 17.35 Mile Fun Run

AM - 17.35 Enterprise Res. to Gunlock.  Up super early to get the run going.  Was 49 at the start - guess I get Clyde's car for a week!  Felt wrecked right from the start - was dizzy and light-headed, legs had nothing, and was spent on the very first minor hill.  From there it really only got worse.  Luckily even though it was one of the worst runs I have ever had (that seems to be a trend on this run - 4 years, 3 way bad runs and 1 iffy) the time went by good since we ran most of it together and Logan, James, and Steve waited for me at the tops of all the climbs; also Dustin helping me in was nice.  And of course, despite the poor run, the run itself is always awesome - very pretty, nice and cool for the start, and the ice-bath in the stream is GREAT!  (Landreth orange 700.85)

I think - to analyze a little - that I am just way tired.  Not much sleep the last two nights, with the baby acting up; as well as physically, back toward 100 and plyos and weights and pool stuff all add up.  If I need too, I will cut back some stuff.

Week was fine.  Kind of tired throughout - like I just said.

Goals for next week:  Get moving a little stronger on marathon workouts (Tues, Thurs, and Sat), and get rested a little.
