In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Took Elliott on a nice Sunday morning run before it got too hot. Ran a bit on my own too. My achilles is not 100% but it feels like its healing.

Picked it up in the middle of this 5K, 1.5 miles at about 6:40 pace. With warmup and cooldown, ended up as a 22:40.

The wind is starting to pick up but Tropical Storm Claudette isn't here yet. Wind was 12 mph with gusts to 20 mph. No rain yet.

Ran the VDF Pipeline loop several times. The loop is about 0.6 mile- 2/3 is on a jeep road that climbs a hill with the vinylidene fluoride pipeline on the left and a forest of the right. The other part is a downhill on a paved road which joins up with the dirt road at the fire test area. Ran the middle two miles as a tempo run - two 6:39 miles. It was really humid today.

Lifted weights and took a quick job at lunch. Stopped leg pressed half way through my second set due to a sharp pain on the outer side of my right knee. Leg extensions felt fine. I need to start biking some as well to build up my quad strength as well.

Nice long run over to point mallard. Ran into Paige and David and ran with them a couple miles. Caught the tail end of a motivational speech that Rick Doke was giving to his cross country runners. They were doing a 2 mile time trial. It was towards the tail end of my run so I didn't run with them.

Ran a couple miles hard during my run.

My achilles is feeling better but I keep making the mistake of trying to stretch it out. I felt a

little pop (like a rubber band breaking). Afterwards my achilles is sore. This was probably the 4th or 5th time doing this. Whatever is injured, keeps getting pulled apart. I need to avoid the calf wall push stretch for awhile. Otherwise, I'm really going to injure it.
