My padawans wanted me to take them to run Jardine Juniper today, so I willingly complied with only a small amount of arm-twisting (really, it's SOOOO hard to convince me to go on a trail run these days).  It was the first real trail run for 2 out of the 3 of them, so it was slow, but I needed an easy day anyway after last week so it was all good.  Snow is all but gone.  Temps were very warm.  Didn't bother to take my Garmin.  Inside of my legs near the achilles tendon was sore again.  I don't think it's anything serious though.  Soaked in the ice-cold stream directly after running.

Moderate pace.  No Garmin.  Inside of right lower leg is still sore.  Not bad, but an annoyance.  I'm confident it will heal up in the next three weeks, especially once I go into taper mode.

Skipped today.  Felt the need for a total rest day, so I took it.

Green Canyon.  Very enjoyable run.  Got out about 4:30 after the thunderstorms were over and it was very sunny with pleasant temperatures.  Green was beautiful.  There is running water in the stream bed all the way down to the bottom of the second section of singletrack.  This added an interesting new dynamic to a sometimes hum-drum run.  Enjoyed myself today.  Got some fast miles in coming down the canyon.  Additionally, legs felt great.  No more pain in the Achilles/shin area!  The rest yesterday must have done the trick.  Still going to shoot for at least 70 miles this week.  Should be doable.  Also, I am running the WBR next weekend.  Whee!  Should be fun.

Easy run around town.  Pretty ho-hum.  Nice weather though.  Looking forward to running with Cody and his bike tomorrow morning.  Ordered another pair of Cascadias today from SGRC.  They are Green-goblinish green.  Very cool.

Jardine Juniper double with Cody (on his bike). Took it easy the first run up, partly because I wasn't feeling terribly spry.  Hit some serious mud in the second meadow.  Cody was reduced to walking his bike, and I was sliding all over the place.  Made the loop without venturing down to the tree then let Cody pass me to cruise down on his bike.  At the bottom I was only at 9.5 miles, so I decided when I got back up I would do twice down to the tree.  This lap felt much better and I pushed the pace hard.  Such a great workout and I really felt good going up and down.  On this lap, Cody decided to just do up to the first summit and back twice instead of completely ruining his bike in the mud.  Probably a wise decision.  I met him on my way down coming up for his second time.  He said he was going to go another minute before turning around, so I decided to see how far I could get before he caught me.  Picked up the pace a lot and although I was working hard I was feeling really good.  Last two miles of the trail were 6:18 and 5:34, respectively, over the most technical stretch.  Felt pretty good about that.  Cody caught me with about half or 3/4 mile to go and we cruised in.  Very tired after this run, but it was great fun and good to see Cody again.  I feel ready for anything at Logan Peak.  Probably the best quality workout I've had in a long time.
