AM - 9.5 AC/DI. I can't remember where I went first, to get.a few miles, but then I went the regular morning stuff. Felt pretty good after the longer run and tempo Saturday. (Kinvara 877.9)

afternoon - 6.5 something. Tis was just yesterday and I don't remember at all what I did. So busy right now... Ran in a new pair of Mizuno Ronin5. (Ronin 6.5)

AM - 13.5 4x1600,2x800. Workout in a torrential downpour. Ran two up GS to warm and then the 2 back at Tinman pace. It seems so long since I've tried a quicker workout, so I was worried how I would do and how the hammy would hold up. Hit the miles (on the track now, because it is too dark for the dirt mile - and too wet today) at 5:34-5:41. So consistent, but not great. Then I switched to 8's because I want to get back to 6xmiles quick and figured I should still do 6 repeats even though I was pretty tired and not running great. Cooled for three on AC with Colton. Mixed feelings with the workout - not great, a long way to go; much better than I could have asked for a week ago, a step in the right direction. I have 4 weeks to get solid workouts in and where I want. I think my hammy will let me get there - I hope. (Rocket 690.5)

afternoon - 6 DogPound AT. Ran the DogPound loop with 2.75 at AT. Had to hold back the JV boys a bit because they wanted to roll. Hopefully a good learning experience for them. Ended with 8xbarefoot striders. (Barefoot '13 93.5)(connect 605.5)

AM - 6 AC/Lutheran.  Pretty wiped out from a long evening of church meetings, so I couldn't drag myself out of bed any earlier.  I need to get over myself and just get up.  Now isn't the time to be slacking (there are always excuses).  The run was okay, but I could tell I had run hard yesterday - twice.  (Ronin 12.5)

afternoon - 11 River Trail.  Practice was later today - time trial.  So I headed down to the River Trail and got my own run in.  I was definitely fatigued and tired from yesterday (workouts and lack of sleep) and felt it at times, but other times I found myself moving along quite nicely.  (Kinvara3 450)

AM - 5 AC/DI.  Hip was really giving me trouble last night.  That plus the drive to SLC today gave me enough ammo to sleep in.  On the run, the hip didn't give me to much of an issue though.  Hammy continuing to improve.  (Ronin 18)

Evening - 3 SugarHouse. Ran the State course with the team, my hip was giving a lot of trouble, but I feel like home on that grass. (Zero 234.75)

AM - 18 Provo. Well, the iron-gut let me down a bit today. Up super early and ran with Logan from near UVU up into Provo and a little into the canyon. Felt good at first and the run up was good although a bit warm. Logan even tied to throw me to the predators on the trail - super funny! On the way back we worked into a tempo. The first few miles were good. Logan pulled away a little, but I just kind of hanged in there. Then the hill up to University Mall really wiped me out. At the top my stomach went nuts, hips tightened up and hammy started to get worse. S I just chilled the last three in. Not really a step in a great direction. (Mana 492)

More miles this week, so that is good.

Goals for next week: get faster.
