AM - 11 Mall/2xAC.  Usual route to start off the week.  Felt pretty decent for a Monday.  A small touch of soreness from Saturday's run.  (Free 340.7)

afternoon - 8 River Trail.  Went down onto the trail after meetings through the afternoon.  Didn't want to run at all this afternoon, but by the way back it was enjoyable.  (Stratus grey 576.85)

AM - 13 Coral Canyon.  Went out on the same route as last Friday.  Had a little more time today since I had a dentist appointment this morning.  Felt okay, but not great really.  (Boston 281)

afternoon - 9 River Run.  Team went out around Foremaster and the V Boys dropped down to hit the River Run 8.  It was a bit hotter the last two days, and again I didn't feel too wonderful.  But it was nice to run with them and discuss XC strategy and what not.  Ended with 8xbarefoot striders.  (Barefoot '10 122.25)(Cumulus gold 585.9)

AM - 6 2xAC.  Figured I deserved and needed a little bit of a chill/recovery day.  So I slept in a little and just hit the Arctic Circle run this morning with both groups of kids.  Hopefully this and an easy afternoon will help me hit a good workout tomorrow, since that is the important one.  (Kinvara 162.25)

afternoon - 6.5 Dog Pound.  Ran an AT with Kaylee on Dog Pound.  She hit a great pace (6:10 and 6:00) and it was nice to have a little pickup.  Then I joined the boys for their cool down from Industrial up 2450.  (Old Ohana -6.5)

AM - 13 Clyde's Loop2.  Progression tempo for our workout this week.  We adjusted the workout since nobody was too keen on it, so we did like last week - a 8 mile progressive tempo.  Started at 6:15, then went just under 6, to 5:45, 5:35, then went 5:25's for the next three where I came around a corner and Logan told me to stop.  He had almost run into some skunks, so we waited a minute and started again.  We only went a few yards and went around another corner on the trail and ran right into them again - with his tail up.  So we waited a few more minutes and then got rolling again.  It really threw off the groove, but I recovered okay and finished off that mile and hit a 5:20 for the last.  Good to have this one done; especially since I felt very light headed and dizzy heading into it and wasn't sure what was going to happen with the workout.  (Ohana racers 375.75)

afternoon - 5 Shoe Run.  Back to the original shoe run on the Mosquito Trail.  (Stratus black 694.95)

AM - 23 Quail/Buena Vista.  Ran out to Quail nice and early with Austin.  It was way dark out and there were a lot of stars.  Felt good throughout the run.  Added another 5'ish with the Buena Vista section to hit the final long run before St. George.  Things are feeling pretty good and I am happy with the effort I have put in.  (Triumph silver 402.3)

morning - 9 SLC - Sugarhouse Park.  After racing well yesterday, took the team up to Sugarhouse for one final practice on the State course while we can.  Ran the course three times.  I felt great.  It was a lot of fun being back on that grass.  It brought back a lot of memories and my legs felt rejuvenated.  (Five Fingers 367.6)

A good solid week.  Mileage was nice, workouts went well, team raced well.

Goals for next week:  Taper time.  I would really like to figure out a decent taper.  For me I think that means still holding decent mileage and having a solid tempo session.  So I want to be around 75 miles this week, so I need to not be lazy and get out of bed for my normal morning mileage and let the afternoons be easier for the cutback in mileage (as well as freshen up the hip).
