7 on the stairmaster after work. Legs were still a little tired from the climbfest on Saturday but felt much better after. Saw Rachelle piling on some evening miles with the usual smile on her face. Always good to see friends. Strength at home.

Alter G Tuesday. 5 minute  warmup, 12 mile progression run at 85% and 3 incline, 5 minute cool down. Was a little stiff the first 10 minutes and then felt really good. I felt like i was playing it safe at 85% so that's a good sign. 12 miles in 1:17:50. Last mile was 5:40. It's coming back around. Also had my hip area and my groin scraped (fun!) while I was there. Strength at home after.

8.5 on the alterG. I was going to go 10 but my Glute and my adductor are still fighting over who will compensate more for the other. Why they won't just get along is driving me crazy. So close. Dr. K did some great work on them. I did get to run with Dan there so that was a big plus. He is one of my favorite humans.

Pm- great session at muscleworks. When i left i had zero pain and was running barefoot like a champ :).

I picked a fight with the stairmaster today. Initially, i thought i had prevailed but i now realize it was a draw and we will meet again. At any rate, it was a good battle.

Now Bam, I'm going to go look at new compression gear to prep for all of my downhill races this year :)

1 hour and 50 minutes on the freemotion treadmill at various inclines and paces. 12 miles, 6545 vert.

On a positive note, when i am finally healthy my hill running should be much improved.
