I'm depressed about running. My knee hurts, and I think its getting worse, and PT isn't helping. I probably have ITBS. Ugh. I'm going to pretty much take this week off (thank you tapering anyway), maybe just a 2-3 miler on Wednesday, then maybe take the week after the race off (thank you recovery week anyway). And then see how it is. Usually it doesn't hurt when I run, just when I do everything else that involves bending (aka climbing stairs, descending stairs, sleeping, sitting at my desk, etc.). Sick of it. I also decided to run around Tacoma today and it was a terrible route, trafficky, dangerous feeling, smelly, muddy, and I only got to run around my ideal destination, the pretty Tacoma fancy waterfront, for about half a mile because it turns out its 3 miles from here. Who knew? I had to climb under a train to avoid backtracking a mile, that was awesome. But then I got back from the horrible run and found out my internship IS a go! I'll be in Portland 6 weeks this summer, hopefully learning amazing things and contributing in some way! :-)

I did some strides during that one fast mile, and climbed a massive hill in mile 6. |
