We had a league meet in Yakima. Both of the other top contenders in our league were there, so this was essentially for the league championship. They took care of business going 1-2-3, which was a really good thing because 4 and 5 and 6 were sick and were way back. 

I tempo-ed the course as a workout afterwards - 5k in 17:05. Brutal course.

Single run. Started out wanting to go 12 but it felt good so I kept going a little longer.

I was out to do an easy 10 but tripped over a cement barrier I was trying to jump over. I really don't know what happened, but suddenly I was falling and landed on my knee. Luckily it doesn't look like I did anything serious, but I got a giant goose egg on my inner quad and I ended up hitchhiking back to my car.

Easy 3. The swelling has gone down significantly and I could run without serious pain. Looks like I just bruised the muscle.

Shadle Park Invite up in Spokane this week. They run class races, so things are split up a bit. Our boys ran well... lumping the results together we had 3 guys in front of Ferris' #2. Excellent progress. Our 4 and 5 are still a little further back, but they're getting there.

I ran 12 easy, the leg seems fine. Bruised and swollen, but it doesn't affect my stride at all.
