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!!!

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

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

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.

Ran the tour trails with Anna and TJ. It was a little chilly this morning, just a reminder that winter will be here soon. I felt kind of fat and out of shape. Not very motivating for Equinox. Just gonna try and get to the starting line feeling better then I do now. Legs are getting better compared to the first 4 days of the week.
8/29
10 miles
To aide with my recovery I ran at the AK club again. That way I could control the pace better and have a nice soft and even surface. Kept it very easy again.
8/28
10 miles
Finally resembled running like normal today. Legs felt like they had some energy in them, but still need to take it easy tomorrow. Ran from Studio 49 on Campbell Creek trail out and back. Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to a 6:20 mile. Felt ok.
8/27
8 miles
I decided to go to the Alaska club and run on the treadmill. That way the surface was forgiving and I could make sure I was running super easy and hopefully my legs will recover. I felt pretty good. Probably the best all week. Hopefully even better tomorrow.
8/26
7 miles
I took off from Studio 49 after droping Tae off. I felt ok the first couple of miles, but after 4 miles it was all I could do to not Stop. My legs were dead and had zero life in them. It's frustrating because I really would like to train and run longer.
8/25
6 miles
Exhausted. I worked all day. Got up at 6 went to school. Picked up Tae and brought to Dance after, then I worked at Skinny raven till 7p. I did go for an easy 6 to Huffman and back after work. By the time I ate it was already 9pm. So, stupid to live like this. I gave Skinny Raven my notice today, that I just can't do it anymore. Need to have a more quality of life during the school year. My legs also feel like shit still since the race. Hope they feel better soon.
8/24
8 miles
Ouch! My legs are still trashed from Saturday's downhill. I can't believe I even tried to start running because it was ugly. After a mile or two I did start to feel a little better though. Ran on the Coastal trail from Westchester. It was beautiful out.
