Personal: I know a secret technique for opening mangos taught me by a Wolof sorcerer. I was briefly a political appointee at the U.N. I am intimately familiar with a disciple of David Hume. |

| Met up with David and ran by Hansville from Twin Spits to Point-No-Point Lighthouse and back. Morning was ichi-ban: clear and blue, brassy morning light, high cirrus clouds, mountains right next door, Whidbey Island green and furry. First 3m hilly, second 3m flat, then back over the rollers to our cars. Was concerned about the leg and took it fairly easy on the way out, then got a twinge at about mile 7 and slowed to a jog. Did 9.5 mi in about 80-85 min. By the time I got home ITB was duly sore (mostly about mid-thigh) and the knee felt pretty grotty, but rolled a frozen water bottle over it for about 20 minutes and now it's more or less OK. So maybe this thang has been nipped in the bud. |

| Rest day. bunch of ibuprofen, hoping to get rid of the inflammation. Felt pretty good, the leisurely Sunday pace seems to have been leisurely enough. Worked till 5:30 then painted house with Liz till dusk. Good beer. Good times. |

Ten minute pace. At that rate not enough time in the mornings, so I'll try to work in a PM run too. Little twinge at 3.5 miles so I stopped there instead of 4.
10 strides per respiration--felt like I was barely moving... |

| Downtown Bainbridge loop. Very moderate pace. Some ITB stickiness at the end otherwise OK. Wore the new Nimbi--those shoes feel made for my feet, what a pleasure. |

| Quite a pretty morning. Got up early and out to Battle Point Park. Very chill, 9s. ITB let me know it was still around at mi 6; stopped and stretched it for a few minutes, after that nothing special. Nimbus |

Nice morning run, Manitou beach to Sportsman's Club Road. Felt pretty good: 9s, free and easy. Some foot tightness at about mile 2, stopped and stretched -- basically went away.
I'm going to try avoiding back to backs--two long runs, two short ones a week until this nagging inflammation is in the rearview mirror. If "long" is 11-15 and "short" is 6-9 that seems like a pretty good level of mileage for now anyway.

Greenlake. Should have gone a bit easier, maybe. Some ITB/foot soreness well afterwards, but iced and feels better now. Long run planned for yest nixed after I turned an ankle in the garden Friday and tweaked calcaneofibular ligament again. Still pretty sore at the junction with the heel. Frustrating.

DG's house for dinner, then ran to the library at a nice easy pace. Checked out my new place by Greenlake. Pretty cool. Going to be nice to run on the flats for a while.

Full Arrow Point loop (complete with dirt roads and dogs). Pace averaged 8:45, wasn't regulating it much, basically ran at whatever felt "slow" for the incline. 2500' total ascent, so that was quite a bit at times. Knee a bit grotty at 6 mi, stretched for a minute or so then it was fine until right before home. Waverider 93 |

7 miles easy to Mom's place to water the plants and fill Theo's sandbox. Felt pretty good, a little bit of ITB drag on the knee but easy mnotion and little or no pain. Maybe the O-3 fish oil capsules aren't quackery after all!

| Easy run at Greenlake with DG and Michael. One circuit, then ran DG home and back again to where I'd parked the bike. About 20 miles on the bicycle, but rear tire developed a slow leak so took it very easy. |

Blakely Loop. 8:45 pace felt very easy. Few foot/knee complaints, a twinge here and there but no weakness. Could have gone a few more miles, but decided not to push it since I was at 33 for the week and the last month has been very low miles. Ran with a water bottle for the first time and liked it; had to stop once at an old lady's house to refill (hot day for the Pacific Northwest).

Overcast morning, got in a run. Somewhat achey, unless I held it above 8:45 or so. Above that more problematic.

Battle Point Park loop + Manzanita Loop. Was planning to go 12, but ITB tightened up at mile 10, walked about a mile and stretched it, then tried again for another mile. No dice. Hill and crowned roads kicked my butt (kind of literally). So I ended up sort of power walking home 2 miles, 14 in all.
I'll be a bit glad to get off the island from the running standpoint. Some nice blisters right now. |
