A.M. - 1 mile pushing Nica in the stroller

P.M. - Canal Banks - 45:03

Felt like crap on this run. Knee sore, quads tired and fighting off a cold (sore throat, body aches, etc). Cold out this afternoon.

Greenbelt - 1:28

Nice brisk morning on the greenbelt. Ran from Veteran's Park downstream onto the Garden City trail and back. I hadn't been out there for a long time - what a great place to run. Kept the pace easy/steady most of the way, with 6 x 30 second pickups on the way back to keep my legs moving.

Quads and right knee both a little sore, but nothing to worry about.

Balboa Park - 52:36

In San Diego for a few days. Ran around the park on a bunch of random trails. Nice place to run, but was suffering from messed up blood sugar, which caused dizziness, and then the sore knee really started hurting after I stepped on a sprinkler head. Not sure where the Footlocker XC course goes, but it can't be flat.

Ellyptical at the hotel - 52:15

Knee was a bit improved from last night, but not in running condition yet. So I did 52 minutes moderate on the ellyptical and worked up a solid sweat and some shaky quads.

Run from hotel + ellyptical - 56:30

Ran 40 minutes from the hotel on a bike path I found, then finished up on the ellyptical. 32 minutes into the run, my knee really gave out so I limped in the last mile. Frustrating.

Run from the hotel + ellyptical - 56:10

Ran 32 minutes in the Presidio Park area, then finished with 24 minutes on the ellyptical. Knee was feeling OK, but after 30 minutes it seemed ready to give out so I just ran on the ellyptical to be safe.

Treadmill + run from the hotel - 44:45

I did 15 minutes on the treadmill, then 30 minutes in the Presidio Park area again. Felt pretty decent this morning.

Flew back to Boise in the p.m.
