10.29 miles, 1:39:28, 9:40/mi.

Explored new trails and old logging roads in Nisqually-Mashell state park.  A few really nice short sections of single-track to test the agility.  Only came close to taking a dive once.  If I was in better shape, I wouldn't have had to slow to a hike intermittently.

6.56 miles, 53:18, 8:07/mi w/ 10 short (~30 sec) Fartleks.  

I am so out of shape.   The short fartleks were slow but still very tiring.

Fought knock knee syndrome for the first half of the run.  Left hammie had some pain and the beginning of some hip muscle spasms but mild.

Pretty serious knee knock for the first few miles but the return trip was better and stronger towards the end.

Cross-training day, but I'm not sure how to compute equivalent miles.  Anyone has a running-miles-to-trapeze table I could use?

Same workout as last Monday.  The short repeats were a smidgen easier.

Tired legs but best pace in a while.  Even with a couple of walk breaks on the climb.

Hello hip, knew you still weren't quite right.  Today it just felt weak and fought the knee knock again.

4 road mile bookends around a Mt. Dobbs climb up the logging road, which had a few inches of snow.  Reduced to hiking more than I'd like to admit and the descent was slow because of the slick rocks.

A bit rough today.  Tight calves, sore feet, and my hip acted up for most of the run.

More like a moderate effort.  Really huffing and puffing towards the end.  Only some knee knock going on for mile 2&3, but the remainder was good.

5.3 miles, 1:00:59, 11:30/mi.

Supposed to be the Rebellion Hill Climb unofficial race.  One of only two people that showed, scared my competition off with tales of mud on the trails.  Not quite knowing what the course was supposed to be, I bush-whacked twice.  But I think I won.

Crappy run.  Hip tightened immediately and never loosened up.  Gave up at 4.

Much better than last run, but still some residual tightness.  Back has been tight lately too.
