| | Quick warm up for quarter mile then incline to 6% ran @ 9 min pace for quarter mile then 0% for a quarter. I repeated the pattern then at a 9 1/2 min pace so total of 4 hills and nice mile run at end. The hill work out was hard, but I loved it...in a crazy runner's way of loving it! |

| | Ran outside 55 degrees with Shelley. At mile 12 was really feeling the familiar pull on my outside knee...DANG! ran/walked another mile then stopped, stretched and did a speed walk for another 2 miles until Shelley came to scoop me! Nice to have such GREAT friends to take care of you. Don't feel it at all right now or when walking. I will ice, stretch and ice some more. keep miles a little lower while I ease into running again. These past two weeks have been tough while rex has been out of town then me! YET - it will all be good |

| | ran 6 on TM @ 9min pace. Rex met me to run the remainder outside in the rain. Ran 9 @ 9:32 pace then finished the last 2 miles 8:32 then 8:22 pace ~ realized I still had plenty of fuel in the tank. That's always a good feeling - also no knee issues. Felt my left hip tighten for a few miles then it seemed to loosen back up. Over all, beautiful, soaked run in Oregon! Enjoyed the rolling hills and country side (also, nice to have Rex as my co-pilot) |
