| Weekly review
5 weeks
Man, 5 weeks from race day, I can count that on one hand. That is a little scary considering I couldn't even run last week because of my knee. The great news is my knee seems to be mostly better. There is still some random pains, bit it is not stopping me from running. In fact, I ran 50 miles this week. Friday's run was the only one I wasn't stepping gingerly with each step, but it was the most important run of the week. I also cycled 87 miles and rode the bike trainer 2 other times.
I will have 3 more hard weeks then 2 weeks of tapering. I'll probably do a very similar week this upcoming week as what I did this past week, just with more miles.

AM. I ran from my house to the top of Cherry Tree. It a a constant 4% + climb for about 6 miles and then I turned around and ran back. My knee was a little off at first but then warmed up and seemed fine. I just took it nice and easy. It ended up being about 1200 in elevation gain and I averaged 8:26 per mile.
Now about an hour later my knee is not feeling great. Hopefuly it will loosen up and be fine by tomorrow.

AM. 17 mile spin on the bike trying to keep the cadence high and to pedal in circles.
Lunch. 2 mile walk.
PM. 10 miles with a total elevation gain around 3000 feet and max elevation 8300 feet. Considering all I did today my legs felt strong.

Today is a recovery day after yesterday's hard day, so I did a 7 mile weighted vest hilly walk this morning. I was tempted to run the hills, but I stuck to the recovery day and only walked.

Race day is only 1 month away. It's hard to believe. I don't feel like I am totally ready yet, but I do feel like I am headed to peaking at just the right time as long as I can stay healthy.
AM. 21 mile ride on a windy moring. Then I had to take my truck to the shop for a recall on the airbags, so I put my bike in the back and then rode from the shop to work another 2 miles. I'll then have to ride 2 miles back during lunch to pick up my bike, so I'll end up cycling 25 miles today.

I did a 30 mile run in the Hualapai mountains with 8840 feet elevation gain and a maximum elevation just over 8300 feet. It took 6 hours and 5 minutes. I was definitely ready to be done when I finished and very tired of all the climbing and descending, but that is how the race is going to be. I really hope with a nice taper and some race day magic, I'll survive the next 24 miles. That's a lot further!

My legs felt really good this morning with no soreness except a slight strain in my left calf. I'm hoping that by Monday that will be fine. If not, I'll cycle until it is. I rode with Jason and Craig this morning. Since they did a 100 mile bike race last Saturday, and I ran 30 miles yesterday, we took the ride easier than usual. We ended up riding 28 miles.
I need a nap this afternoon.
