| Galbraith Mountain trail run. I made the climb longer than usual to explore some trails higher up. The trails I ran are up on a part of the mountain where there is an old homestead still standing, and the trails are called "homestead", "papa bear", "mama bear" and "baby bear". Recent logging has been rather messy, and only "papa bear" was runnable. On my way back down the ridge (about a mile from the end), I twisted my ankle, rather badly. I jogged down to my bike and biked home. Very surprised to find that later that day and all day Monday I had to use a crutch to get around. Some swelling, lots of pain.

| Got some work done on the ankle this morning; I could walk when he was done! Still painful, and no running possible today, but no crutch either. My healing genius suggested an easy spin on the bike, provided it was comfortable. It was, so 33 miles in the sunshine at a nice easy pace, no charging the hills or anything. No pain at all until I got off of the bike. Hoping for fast healing. | |

| The ankle is better, but still no real running. Pool workout this morning, ran 20 minutes wu, then 3X5 minute tempo paced intervals and 1X10 tempo paced interval, with 1 minute rest in between, then 15 cd. I did not die of boredom. 1 hour this afternoon on the bike, at a moderate intensity. I stayed seated on all the hills to save the tender ankle. Strength workout after biking. Focused on arms and core. Tomorrow my doc wants me to do some side lunges and gentle one legged balancing stuff. He is a genius to fix me so quickly! Hard to believe I was on crutches on Monday.

| Not ready to run on the ankle yet, so I did a really long strength workout, which included lots of stretching, upper body work, core, hip, single legged balanced (for the ankle), squats and lunges! Then, in the evening, I went for a bike ride around Lake Sammish. Its a hilly course, and it was for some strange reason super windy late in the afternoon. The wind felt almost arctic. What happened to summer already? I have lived here a long time, and we tend to get rather short summers, but TWO DAYS? come on...

| More pool intervals! 10 minutes wu, 3X10 minute tempo intervals, with RI of 1 minute, the 15 minutes cd. Ankle looks a whole lot better today; swelling almost gone, just some yellowish bruising here and there. After swimming, I biked the course for the race I am directing tomorrow. Placed flour for course obstacles, important directional issues, and ribboned each mile. My truck will be out bright and early tomorrow morning, placing mileage signs, setting up water stations, and delivering all the necessary stuff to start and finish lines. I got a nice 14 mile bike ride!

| Chuckanut Footrace today; I am the RD, so no running for me, unless you count about a hundred 200m sprints between the band shelter and the finish line! Busy day. |
