This was my first day back at running after a quick trip to Moscow, ID to check out the U. of Idaho campus.  I drove up (a long 11 hour drive) on Wednesday, visited the campus and physics department on Thursday, and drove back on Friday.  I didn't get any running in during that time.  I ran this morning with Sasha, Jeff and Mary Ann.  The legs felt a little sore immediately after the run, but they feel fine now.  Total time for 8 was 64:15 (8:02/mile).

I ran with the usual group plus Ben Crozier.  It was an interesting workout.  Jeff slept in so we headed in the opposite direction as usual and met him along the trail.  Then we turned around and Sasha and Ben started doing 400s.  We headed out along the trail, turned around a little after Geneva road, and headed back to the magic mark.  Jeff and Sasha then started their speedwork.  I ran out another 2 miles with Mary Ann and then turned around.  Total time was 1:23:30 (8:21/mile) for 10 miles.  I wasn't planning on going 10 today, but the legs felt fine.

It was a typical morning run.  I debated on whether to do 8 or 10, but decided on 10.  The legs were a little sore afterwards.  I think it is from the increased mileage as well as the lack of sufficient sleep.  Total time for 10.1 was 1:21:24 (8:03/mile).

I overslept this morning and ended up doing the entire run alone.  It was raining as well, and for an instant, I was tempted to take the day off.  I headed out about an hour after the usual time and met Sasha, Jeff and Mary Ann going the other direction around the 2 mile mark.  The legs were a little sore particularly the quads again and my right knee.  I was thinking of doing Mary Ann's race this Saturday, but I may just take it easy.  I'll see how it feels tomorrow.  Total time was 61:19 (7:40/mile).

I decided to give the legs a little break today and only went 6. I ran with the usual group. Total time was 47:45 (7:57/mile).

I woke up a little later today and headed out for a run by myself.  I ran out to the 3 mile mark on the trail and turned around.  I headed back to the start of Mary Ann's race.  I decided not to run since my legs were a little sore from the miles this week.  I had a week with 8 and another with around 17 before this week, so I figured a hard race wouldn't be a good idea.  I paced Joseph Pachev in the 200m and then helped time the mile.  The first 5K guy was coming in as I was leaving.  I headed back home for a total of 6.4 for the day.
