| | 45 degrees this morning with no rain and a slight wind. I felt good throughout as I ran past Tualatin HS, Horizon HS and over the freeway. Same route home. As soon as I finished my right hip locked up, or my right hip-flexor to be more exact. I'm not sure how to describe it... not 'tight' or 'sore' or 'stiff.' Like I pulled it or something. Who knows. I'll roll out my legs tonight and go from there. Maybe I should have taken more time off after the marathon? |

| | My hip-flexor felt much better today. I'm not sure if it was from rolling it out last night, the ib, or maybe it was the peanut butter m&m's. Who knows? 10 miles up Boones Ferry to Tualatin HS, 3 miles around the track and 1 loop on the XC course, then home. It rained the entire time so I was pretty wet by the time I returned. |

| | I'm pretty happy with today's workout. It has been 3-4 months since I've done any dedicated speed work, instead using races to fill that void. I'm certain that by incorporating some quicker workouts, even just once a week, I'll see positive results and avoid burning out at the end of races. As the winter months pass and I eventually target my next marathon, I'll include long tempo runs but for today was about getting the ball rolling so I made my way to the Tualatin track. 5 miles for a warm-up and then a mixture of 400m and one 800m for good measure. After each interval I jogged 400m (way too much recovery, but again, today was just a start so no biggie). 1. 1:22, 1:46 recovery 2. 1:19, 1:44 recovery 3. 1:21, 1:47 recovery 4. 1:20, 1:47 recovery 5. 2:37 800, 1:57 recovery 6. 1:13, done. So the times were out of this world fast, but it's a beginning so I'll take it. I think I'll shoot for every Wednesday being some type of tempo/interval/speed work of some kind to maintain some leg turnover during the next couple months. Finished with just under 3 miles for a return trip home. |

| | I ran a version of Ryan's loop this morning. My legs felt a little sluggish from yesterday's run but that's to be expected. It wasn't raining this morning and it was below 40 degrees which gave me a chance to wear my calf sleeves for the firs time. They felt fine; I'm not sure what I was expecting but they felt good nonetheless.

| | 10 miles. Again. This week has been pretty...consistent? So it goes sometimes. I ran the usual route to Tualatin HS and then a few miles around the track and XC course, then home. I feel kind of 'blah'. Not sore, not tired, not injured. Just blah. Not sure what's going on. I'll be running somewhere new tomorrow so maybe that will liven things up a bit. |

| | I still feel 'blah.' I managed 13 miles this morning on an out-and-back course near the Portland airport (was staying at a nearby hotel). The first 6 felt nice and easy but as I turned around, I realized it was because I had been running with a slight wind to my back. It made the return less than enjoyable, although it was pretty cool to watch planes take off and land in the early morning hours. |
