| Now I'm really tapering, so this was an easy 30 minutes on the track. I felt like a slow poke. | Add Comment |

| Felt great on this workout. My goal was to do 4x 1 mile at 7:30, but I ended up just naturally doing those miles around 7:10. I kept trying to hold back, but I felt so good. Also, did a mile warm up and a mile cool down. Then did an hour of back and biceps.

| Felt great today. I didn't wear my Garmin, but I think I was running about 7:20-7:30 for 4 miles. Did 1:25 of chest and abs. Tomorrow I'll really rest--from running and weights. Well, maybe I'll just do a few core exercises. And lots of stretching.

I spent a good hour stretching in prep for the race. Unfortunately, I stretched in the sauna too long and as I walked away from the sauna and toward a bench, I passed out on the pool deck, badly bruising my hip, elbow and head. I was very worried about how this might affect my race. I went home, iced it, took Ibuprofen, and fell asleep the whole day! Also, I had a bad headache. I'm suspecting it may have been a very slight concussion. At least I still have teeth.

| Wanted to see if my passing out hip injury would allow me to run. I felt it with each step, but it wasn't terrible. Went home and fell asleep again, still recovering I guess. But I did decide that I'd head to Eugene for the race on Sunday. | Add Comment |
