I was gonna run trails today, but it was pouring outside.  I mean I haven't it seen it come down like that in a long time.  Wasn't gonna have a crappy run, so I just went to the AK club.  Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 6:07 pace.  Felt really good.

Super easy again at the AK club to keep it easy.  Quads still a little sore from wednesday.

Ran with Matias up in Bear Valley.  He has some amazing and fun routes up there on the mountain.  It's definitely a running style I need to work on, but it's a lot of fun.  We ran for 1hr. and 45min and covered about 12 miles.  Need to do this more next year!

Ran my new 20 mile loop this morning and added a mile.  I ran the downhills hard to get my quads used to it for Equinox.  Maybe a little too late, but I just gotta get to the starting line healthy and ready.  I felt pretty good.  Ran a bunch of sub 6 mile too.

9/5

Easy recovery miles at the AK Club. I'm gonna do almost all recovery on a treadmill until Equinox to make sure I keep it easy and my legs get better.

Met Matias at Service after school and ran the Hillside Trails.  It was actually a lot of fun getting on the trails and talking with Matias.  Great guy and nice to pick his brain.  He's having a great summer of racing at the age of 45.  Motivating!!!

9/3
9 miles

Easy recovery run at the South High Track.  I wanted a nice easy surface to just make sure I was at recovery pace.  Felt pretty good, but it was cold and rainy.

9/2
12 miles (5 @ Tempo)

Ran from Studio 49 and it was a beautiful day out.  Felt ok during the workout.  It's just nice to know that my legs can move a little faster still.  It's been rough since Lost Lake.

3.5 mile warm up w/ Strides
5 miles straight tempo (5:36, 5:36, 5:38, 5:39, 5:39)
3.5 mile Aerobic

9/1
10 miles

Ran from Studio 49 today.  It was another beautiful sunny day.  Hard to believe the weather the past 2 summers. I'll take it.  I felt okay and had some energy, but I still don't feel smooth running.  I didn't really run hard, but it wasn't true recovery either.  Try just to be relaxed and run.  Ran 6:5X average for the run.  Gonna do a tempo run tomorrow on the same route.

8/31
10 miles

I wanted to fully recover from the long run yesterday.  It seems the only way to make sure is to jump on a treadmill.  My legs seems to recover much faster that way.  Felt really good, but kept it super easy at 7:30-7:40 pace.
