| I did the most amazing run today. I finally got up into the Chuckanuts and did a 14 miler out to Lost Lake and back. Despite all the amazing trails around here, I end up doing the same 3 runs over and over and over, since most of the team doesn't head up into the mountain areas during the week. It was beautiful! The trail climbed 800-900 feet and then followed a canyon wall for several miles before the lake. I actually stopped about .1 miles from the lake... I got 57 minutes out and started to wonder if the trail actually dipped down to the lake shore or just kept going, so I turned around. 1:50:59 total time. I was also interested in how the hills would feel on my knee. Everything felt really good, up and down. So I hope this is a good sign. I think I'll head back there Thursday and actually go look at the lake. | |

| 14 up to Lost Lake again. This time I actually made it to the lake. It was literally less than a minute from where I'd stopped before. | |

| 3 mile fartlek on the Urb, 1:00 on, 1:00 off. I was targeting 5:00 pace and while it felt good to my legs, my breathing seemed a little hard. My heartrate at the end was 160. Sounds high. |

Conference is today and tomorrow at Western Oregon University. I raced the 10k tonight. Me and my teammate decided to trade off leading each other every 2 laps. We started a little quicker than planned and ran 4:59ish for the first 1600m, then 10:07 at 3200m (5:08). I felt really good in the first 5k, reaching 4800m in 15:18 (5:11) and 5k in ~15:58. Then I started to get into trouble. It was my turn to take the lead, and as I moved up, I told my teammate I was hurting, and he told me to tuck in behind. I fell off the pace a bit, and he put about 20m on me. We both died a little from that point, I started hitting 78s-81s and the gap between us didn't grow at all. Should've stayed with him. I caught my 8k at around 26:00, meaning a painful 10:42 for those 2 16s. I rolled in the last 2k in 6:38 for a 16:40 final 5k. It wasn't pretty, but I feel more satisfaction out of this race than any others this season. And now I can put in some cross training and get my knees healthy. Interestingly, I didn't feel my aerobic fitness was my limiting factor tonight. My breathing felt pretty good for the most part. I felt it was my legs that gave in prematurely. I think I need to do more lifting. And eat better. These are my two goals moving into summer training.

| 30 minutes in the pool today, HR right around 150. This is my healing and recovery week. Time to get the knees in shape to handle some good mileage this summer. |

| 30 min elliptical, HR starting at 135 and finishing at 165. Then added 2.5 on Morning Loop. Tentatively optimistic about how good my knees felt. | |

| Same as yesterday, 30 min on the elliptical and an easy 2.5 mile loop. My right knee had a slight bit of soreness afterwards, but otherwise things felt good. | |

| 7 miles easy. The track team held the "Steeple for the People" race today, an annual post-season tradition of dressing in costume and running a steeplechase. | |
