afternoon - 10.5 Nisson's/Mall.  Ran with the team on the Nisson's run - kept the boys all together and wanted the girls with us too, but they needed to chat apparently.  Then extended by hitting the Mall Run (should have run it reverse to practice for the SG 1/2).  Finished with Molly's Mile.  Ran the 2nd part of the run a little quicker to try and work out the weekend a bit, so I am not as junky at the start of tomorrow's workout.  (Landreth black 968.6)

afternoon - 11.5 King's Row 1/2's.  Wasn't a very good set today.  Warmed up 3 over to King's Row and started up.  The first was way bad, herky-jerky, out of whack, 1-2:27, but still hit right about the same time as the last 3 weeks.  However, I could tell there was some left over fatigue from Saturday's push.  2-2:24, 3and4-2:23, nothing was dropping like usual and I was just trying to survive each one.  Decided this was as good a week as any to move up to a 5th since the times weren't slowing down (just not improving), so I added 5-2:20, tried to work this one with whatever I had, but not much there.  Cooled down back to school and Molly's Mile.  Had to miss out on weights/plyos because of Ry's Christmas Play at school - it was well worth it!  (Old Ohana -11.5)

afternoon - 10 Shinob Kibe.  I was/am feeling a bit worn down, so I figured I needed a nice easy day - nothing hard, less mileage.  Then the boys decided to run UP Shinob Kibe.  When I get back into trail running, this would be a great hill trainer, but on a needed easy day, it is just evil.  But it was fun and a great view as always, and hardly anyone on the team had ever done it before.  I'm really proud of the youngsters and their commitment; if I could just get that same level from next year's varsity then we would be okay.  Finished up with DI and Molly's Mile.  (Stratus grey 640.85)

Day off - but not by choice. Neck/Back cramped up this morning and gave my a hideous pinched nerve in my neck (maybe the worst I've ever had). Got hooked up to the little muscle shocker thing and used that all day, but decided I hadn't try and push my luck so I missed club.

afternoon - 6 Sandberg's.  A rainy, cool day; so the boys and I just went over to Sandberg's and ran 6 miles in the dirt and mud.  Pretty fun run, but my right calve tightened up and bit.  Then after, I didn't want to add any more and just used my neck as an excuse (although I have some movement back, it still has a huge knot in it); then at home I didn't stretch or anything either - blah.  (Triumph 676.25)

AM - 8 Clyde's.  A real bummer way to end the week.  I should have worked on my tight right calve yesterday, but I didn't and paid for it today.  It was very sore and tight before even starting and just heated up more as we got going - it wouldn't stretch or loosen up at all.  We started to pick up into a tempo around 3.5 and I just felt the calve pull everything - hammy, shin, knee, and I decided I had better shut it down quick.  Unfortunately we were 4 from home and around 4 from Clyde's, so I limped home and called it a day.  (Kimvara 221.5)

Week was junk.  Tired on Monday and Tuesday; Bad workout on Tuesday; Neck junk so no run on Thursday; and then this stuff.  Oh well... just take it with a grain of salt and move on.  Have been using the EStim on it all morning to try and loosen it up some (guess I am glad I still have that thing from Thursday!)

Goals for next week:  Well, number 1 would be to get neck and leg better (but I know that will happen so...), get back into doubles, love life and have a fun Christmas season.
