I am one with the levee and the levee with me

12 easy. Similar course to yesterday, but slower. Think I'll try flat tomorrow.

AM - 12.2 easy on the Jordan River trail. Quads are sore from the hills from the last couple days.

PM - 4 easy

I had 4 x 3 mile @ MP on the schedule. Warmed up and got a little over a mile into the fast stuff before my posterior tib flared. One moment feeling 100%. 50m later sharp pain. It's no good pushing through, so I stopped and jogged back to my car. Pain was gone within half a mile. Will have to take a few days easy before trying anything fast again.

Last week made me feel like I was over the hump with this. Now I'm leaning heavily towards tapering into the Indy HM and calling it a season from there. The taper will help me keep it healthy. Since this cycle's marathon is less important to me than this winter's, I'd rather keep the fitness gains I've seen to this point, get my leg right, and have a better shot at a healthy build going into CIM or whatever marathon I settle on.

8 easy in Highland.

12 easy in Highland.

AM - 8 easy on the Jordan River Trail.

PM - 4 easy in Highland.

4 x 1600m at Skyridge High. 200m rests (1:05-1:15)

5:10, 5:13, 5:13, 5:13

Posterior tib held up despite being a little sore when I got up this morning. Didn't feel it at all on the run. I went for 4 reps, trying to balance maintaining fitness with minimizing the stress I put on my leg.

I definitely felt the altitude on this one. Muscle memory carried me through the first rep and then my lungs started complaining late in #3.
