12 with Tanner on the Huckleberry/Salal loop. The weather's been so great I'm starting to think it doesn't rain in the Northwest anymore. I'm getting spoiled.

Long run with Tanner. We headed out to the Whatcom loop from my place, which I haven't done in forever. My watch had 1:37:30 total time and 12.75 miles, which I know is wrong. Typical under-the-trees measurement. I think we were closer to 14, but I'm calling it 13.5 to be conservative. We were moving pretty good.

12 easy on the Urb. Nice and flat, which I felt was needed. No watch. My upper hamstring on the right side has been giving me some trouble. I think it's a nerve issue, but it's starting to worry me some. Right under the glute I've been getting sharp stabs of pain from time to time, and no amount of rolling or stretching seems to affect it. In fact, I don't feel anything out of the ordinary when I stretch it, which is why I think it's nerve related - if it were a muscle tear or tendonitis I should feel that with a stretch. My right hip area is also having problems; hip flexor, lower abdomen all seem to fatigue and ache by the end of my runs. I've been uncertain how to attack those, but it's getting obnoxious.

But on a positive note, this is the best week of training I've had in awhile. I'm working my way slowly up to 90s per week, and I can't help daydreaming about the marathon on my runs. I'm pretty excited to take a shot at it. Finally.
