| Scheduled workout: mile repeats, 3x1mile @ 5:45-5:50, 5 m.n. recovery, 7 miles total. Actual splits: 5:47, 5:48, 6:00. Bowel issues slowed me down in last split. Felt sharp twinge in right achilles tendon / lower calf during cool down.

| Was not going to run today because of tweaked achilles / calf. Can't tell exactly what I did but it was really sharp this morning. Got to California and could not resist so went out for afternoon run on the beach. After a mile, the sharpness disappeared and I was cranking. So beautiful! | | Add Comment |

| Incredibly, this morning I felt no sharp twinge or even tightness in the right achilles or calf. A little general soreness now and then, but hardly anything at all. Very strange, as yesterday and the day before it was quite painful and worrisome. I really thought I was going to have to take some serious time off. Orange County was the cure! Did another 7 miles on the sand. A storm is moving in so it was breezy but I felt strong and the surf was so energizing!

| Scheduled workout: 8 miles with 5 miles at tempo, 6:20 to 6:30 pace. Did the 5 miles in 31:28 - 6:17 pace. 1-2 inches of snow on the roads at 5:15 a.m. this morning - I know that cost me a few seconds per mile, so I was proud of my effort and progress. Definitely was digging deep to bring the last mile in on pace.

| Disaster! I went to track this morning at 5 a.m. to run splits, after 2 mile warmup on streets. I had checked the track yesterday afternoon to make sure it was clear of snow and ice and, as far as I could see, it was clear. There was an inch of snow on the track this morning and I managed to find a patch of ice under the snow as I rounded a turn and BOOM! I went down hard. It is now 5 p.m. and I still have no memory of picking myself up, gathering my stuff and going to my car. I have a vague memory of driving home. My headlamp is busted. I've had a mild headache all day. No goose egg. No vomiting and no dilated pupils. Perhaps a mild concussion? I may have to take a few days off to avoid bouncing my brain in this condition. Why did I think I should I still run splits on a track covered in an inch of snow? Pain is just weakness leaving your body.

| The neck is still sore and for some reason my left calf was super tight, but I was able to do 2 sets of 4 miles each while Ben warmed up for his soccer games in St. George tournament. | | Add Comment |

| Got to run down on beach at Crystal Cove again. Gorgeous after the storm of earlier this week. Legs were a bit lactic from Monday's run - strange but true. | | Add Comment |

| For the first time since my fall last week, I felt "smooth" in my stride. I ran out Wasatch to Fortuna and back starting at 4:00 a.m. Pretty lonely time to run. From the light at the gravel pit to Fortuna and back, not one single car or person went by me in either direction. I did see a group of deer at the Old Mill golf course - several buck included with huge antlers. The 4:00 a.m. start was necessitated by a family commitment that required me to be home, getting showered and a suit on, by 7:00 a.m. I made it back in plenty of time, but didn't want to push the envelope too much.
Anyway, I totally rocked the run, although I was definitely wearing very thin by the end of the 20. Time out was 1:11; time in was 1:15, for a total of 2:26. No Gu, of course - I decided to try a few Jolly Ranchers. I'm not sure if they were very effective - next time, I need to remember not to do Cherry - that flavor doesn't agree with me during a run. I noticed on the package that there are 70 calories for every 3 candies. I think I need a little more fuel than those are going to provide me. But at least I did not get sick to my stomach. I am going to need a good nap, I think.

| Flight home was cancelled last night so stayed in Newport another night. Got up early for long run. Ran from Pelican villas to Magnolia in Huntington Beach. Mapquest says it is exactly 10 miles one way. I was totally cruising so I just kept with it. Ran 68 minutes out and 70 minutes back, for total 2 hrs. 18 min. Feeling pretty ragged right now (30 minutes after run) but what a run - all solo of course. | | Add Comment |
