Monday mid day - four on the ditch between calls.
PM - practice, 6 miles with the coaches.
Tuesday AM - 3.7 miles with GW on the Ditch (half hour wake up thing).
PM - 5.2 around practice. Finished with a couple handfuls of strides. Not great.
Wednesday - 7 with practice
Thursday - 7 with practice
Friday - see above
Saturday AM - 7.5 with practice. 3.2 in the afternoon.
Really struggling lately.
Sunday - in the AM, 7.2. 3.6 in the afternoon
Monday late - ran over to the gym, got in a lift with GW - this felt good to get a bit of that work. Ran for another bit post. 5 miles. Achilles feels like garbage. Smokey - but the temps were dropping from the 90s as the weather was blowing in
Tuesday AM - rain/snow mix. Yes - a mix of that given it was in the 90s yesterday. Good news is that it knocked the smoke down. 4 miles with GW along the paved sides of the Ditch.
Tuesday PM - 5.1 miles during practice. Lots of snow.
Wednesday PM - 5 miles during practice. I need to get back to some good habits.
Thursday AM - trying to reboot the brain to get past the concern about the Achilles. 5 miles with GW and a few of the athletes. Felt nice actually. The Achilles was crap but it felt good to start the day this way.
Friday - 10 miles around practice.
Saturday - 10 miles in the afternoon - post meet.
Sunday AM - 10 miles out of Commons, Braun joined for a little over the first half.
Meh.
Monday AM - 5.1 miles with Greg on Ridgeview.
Interestingly with this run, I hit 750 miles for the period of time from June 1 to August 31. That is a throw back to the 750 club from high school (that I never achieved, or even seriously pursued). It has been a pretty common occurrence over the last few years, but it apparently was not a given this year with the gracilas injury (sliding in head first on the last day of the period). It also means I have averaged just over 8 miles a day over the last three months ... which ain't great but also reflective of the injury and coming back from it.
Monday PM - kids had a workout - I got five getting there and back, flagging, etc.
Tuesday mid day - 7.1 miles. Achilles a little better but sleeping poorly lately so the legs feel like crapola.
Wednesday afternoon - 8 miles, built around the practice. Bunch ahead of it and then helping some kids on their repeats (so I got some 6:20 work).
Thursday AM - 7.2 miles on the Ridgeview Commons Ditch loop
Thursday PM - 3 miles at practice.
Friday PM - hot again. A slow 8 miles. Got into the gym and did some lifting too.
Saturday AM - some miles while at the Niwot Invite at Lyons course. 3 miles
Sunday PM - climbed out of Hoosier Pass to the east and towards Silverheels. Didn't get to the peak but a ridge to the north of it as I explored around. 6 miles.
Sort of just flaying a bit these days with the Achilles, practice, etc.
