| 3x1 mile repeats, roughly 7:50, 8:05, 7:50. Between the first and second miles I mistepped on the edge of the track and tweaked the inside of my left ankle, the same area I injured earlier in the year when I stepped on a walnut during a dark early morning run. I ran it off, so to speak, but it was sore when I got home. I have a bag of frozen corn on it now. I'm planning on it being okay to run on by tomorrow. It seems it's rare for a runner to run pain free. I don't know if I'll ever experience that again. I haven't given up. I do believe in miracles. |

| My left ankle was pretty tender this morning so I skipped running. I was at work late last night so I didn't mind sleeping in. I'm feeling some new high hamstring "butt" pain, too, after Monday's run. All these aches and pains remind me that endurance running refers more to the training than to the races. | | Add Comment |

| Water tank hills with Larry and Jolene. Met Kevin on the way home. Up the hills in 19:14 today. Not bad, not great. With all the aches and pains I've been having, it's good when I feel best when I'm running. None of the pains really affected today's run much, except to warn me to not push it too hard. |

| Met up with Larry, Wayne, and Kevin and headed to Cascade. Larry's Australian shepherd Ozzie lagged behind us as we crossed 1600 N shortly into the run and was hit by car. This was the second time I've seen him hit on a run. The first time he walked away from hit. Amazingly, he also walked away from this one, even though he was hit solidly and was knocked clear into the gutter. Kevin went for his vehicle to haul Ozzie home and Ozzie actually jumped into the back of his SUV. I'm sure he'll be sore, but he seemed okay. Larry drove him home and told us to go ahead with the run. Lyle was running just behind us when Ozzie was hit and joined us for the run. I went 6 miles @ 9:28/mi. Wayne and Kevin were out in front, and on the way back Lyle also pulled well ahead of me. I really struggled at the end of the run. I felt like I was finishing 16 miles instead 6 miles. Maybe I was channeling Ozzie...I sort of felt like I'd been hit by a car. Oh well, at least I got some good "keep going when you feel dead" training in this morning. |

| 10 miles @ 9:43/mi. Various aches and pains are hindering a step up in my training, but I'm grateful to still be able to run. I really enjoyed being out with my running buddies. |
