morning - Big Workout #13 9 Tinman (DNF).  Apparently my legs weren't as ready as I thought they were when I started out.  Warmed up with Molly's Mile and then into the Fields.  First TM mile showed signs of struggle, but really nothing too far out of the ordinary - 6:05, just where I was two weeks ago when I did this workout.  Followed it up with a 6:01, but I had to work too hard for it.  Struggled through a couple more and then decided to slow up for the 4.5-5 section to try and finish the workout.  Only took .5 more to realize that it just wasn't going to work, so I brought it on home with an easy run the rest of the way.  Hopefully by getting the legs going a little, even though I didn't finish, it tells the body that it is time to get back on track.  I'll decide later in the week if I'll try 1000's on Thursday.  (Triumph 122)

noon - 8 Grapevine/Coral Canyon.  Didn't have a much of a turnaround on this one, but I was tired anyway and knew it would be slow so why delay.  Saw that the temps are going to get to 100 by the end of the week, not really excited about that.  (Cumulus white  707.85)

AM - Washington Loop/Lava Point.  Molly's Mile and then on Washington Loop.  For practice we went down onto Lava Point and then a mile barefoot.  A bit worn still.  (Landreth black 651.35)(Barefoot '09 93.75)

afternoon - 10 City Wells.  Temps were great and the run went well.  Planned on 8, but it was so nice I extended a mile up into Bracken's Loop and back.  (Stratus bee 707.5)

AM - 12 Junction.  Ran out to Coral Canyon w/ James and then Molly's Mile.  Still not sure if I should try 1000's tomorrow.  Some parts of the run felt strong others were a little drained.  (Stratus black 375.6)

afternoon - 11 Middleton/Warm Springs.  Clouds were out, but on the other side of my runs, so it was kind of hot during the run.  But not too shabby.  (Landreth  905.65)

AM - Big Workout #14 - 5xLT miles.  Did this workout a couple weeks ago and really crapped out accomplishing only 3 repeats at 5:40 instead of the desired 5:30.  So today I had a goal of getting 5 and next time I will get the 7 that the workout calls for.  Did my warm up on the Parkway finishing with 2 TM miles.  Then got back to get on the treadmill as Al is out of town for the rest of the weekend.  Did one more warm up mile on the treadmill to get a feel for it and then did my miles.  They went well.  Pace was 5:30 with 1 min. recovery jog.  Felt pretty good and could have maybe dragged out 1 or 2 more, but remembering my struggle with TM on Monday, I decided no need to kill myself coming back this week, just get moving in the right direction.  Finished with 2.5 cool.  (Stratus grey 199.85)

evening - 6 treadmill.  Tough to get going, but once I did it was no big deal.  (Cumulus gold 403.15)

AM - 9 Treadmill.  Tried to get going before the girls got up, didn't work out so well - not because of me, but because they were up too.  Ran 8 then took Molly around for her mile.  She did good after not running yesterday because of a minor surgery to get a fox tail out of her ear.  (Landreth black 660.35)

afternoon - 7 Grass/Barefoot.  Took the girls over to Little Valley so they could play at the park while I ran on the grass - way better than the treadmill again.  Although the temps were much hotter today, it wasn't too bad, especially getting in the water after with the girls.  Finished with 6xbarefoot striders.  (Barefoot '09 100.75)

AM - 25 treadmill.  Well actually 24 on the treadmill with the last mile taking the dog around the block while pushing Laney in the jogger.  A good workout, but kind of a beast on the treadmill for that long - but I had 3 track meets recorded to help take up the time and the girls slept in a little better than yesterday to make it a lot easier.  Started off easy for a mile and then just started slowly increasing the pace.  Through in inclines similar to that of SGM - a 6% for a mile at 7 followed by 3% for the next three miles, and a .5 3% at 17.5-18 followed by a mile at 4%.  Right after that I did a progressive tempo with 2 miles at 6:00 (TM), then 2 at 5:42 (MP) and last one at 5:36 (kind of a tweener of LT and MP).  Good workout.  (Landreth orange 307.35)

Week was okay.  Hopefully I can say that I am more recovered even with the good mileage and a couple decent workouts.

Goals for next week: Pretty much the same as this week (1000's instead of miles, though).  Want to make it a very good one with the week after going to Cali and going to be just a fun week with single runs and whatever chill distance I feel like.
