| I flew to Portland today for a conference that starts tomorrow. This time I gave myself plenty of extra time and flew in in the afternoon. After arriving at my hotel room, I relaxed for a bit and then put on my running shoes and went to explore Washington Park, which is on the west (?) side of Portland. It's an area that has a rose garden, zoo, homes, and lots of forest area. The route I took was along the main road. It was a gradual uphill for almost the entire way out. I ended up where I thought was the top of the hill and turned around and came back. The run was incredibly beautiful, and the weather was perfect. I told my wife that we have to move to Portland now. :) Average pace was maybe 8:30. Best Monday run of the year (it's always good to think of something a run was the best of). |

| Ran along the Wilamette River in Portland with my friend Ryan. It was a beautiful run. We threw in a couple faster miles at 6:47 and 6:30. That was really encouraging because there will some ups and downs and because my legs are sore. But this may have also been faster due to less elevation. Regardless, I'm happy with the run and absolutely love running when I travel. |

| Have been really sore, so when I got home from my trip tonight, I ran 5 on the treadmill. The average pace was about 8:40. Nice and easy. This might be the start of a taper until my race on July 4, so I can try to get over this soreness. |

| Was feeling really sore during the day, so I decided ahead of time to run easy again. I did 5 miles easy on the treadmill. I felt much better than yesterday while running. I've noticed lately that Wednesdays tend to be bad running days for me. It must have something to do with my routine of running hard on Saturday, getting good mileage on Monday, and then doing tempo runs on Tuesday. So I might change my running plan for the marathon to run easier on Wednesdays and harder on Thursdays. Average pace was 8:15. |

Ran 10 miles nice and comfortable. The first mile I was feeling stiff, and my hip flexor was bothering me a little. But by the third mile it was feeling just fine. I bumped up the pace and threw in 6x400m strides at 6:15-6:30 pace, and they felt very comfortable, if not easy. That was encouraging. Then I ran about 1.5 miles at 7:00 pace, and that was also comfortable. Average 7:30 pace over the 10 miles (on treadmill). I feel encouraged that I will be ready for a great race next Saturday. Hopefully the soreness will continue to go away. I also had a chance to watch Josh McAdams, BYU alum, win the US title in the 3000m steeplechase. Pretty sweet! Because I did two easy days to rest up, my mileage was lower (41) this week. But it was a good time to drop off the mileage, because I really want to run well next Saturday.
