And so it goes!

May 28

6mi, 41:23: Memorial Day. Another easy run. Fine to start the week with legs still feeling a little heavy from Saturday's race. (cas II)

Week: 43mi. 5 days running. AGAIN with the missing 6th day. Alas a good week not to push things with an oddly tight upper back, but I'll hope to be back into the 50mile range again next week. A good "strength" workout on Saturday that will not help my Wasatch performance in the least, but was still a good workout. I ran 12mi. on enroute to the Mazama 1ok. This long "warmup" followed by 10k of fast running was great. Not even racing so much, but tried to run fast a smooth. The Titus Van Rjin next week??

7mi, 49:34: Home to Roth's condo via the Winthrop Trail and Horizon Flats. A fine recovery run. Could have been slower as usual, but let's take heart in stringing together some consecutive running days and call it good. (a5)

19mi, approx 2:20: My strength workout for the week. A 12mi+ ramble from home to Mazama with Seattle friend Mike Fitzpatrick. Cheered for Keeley in the 1k and then ran a quick 10k trail (37:51)race with the intent to stay smooth and feeling good. Would have been perhaps a minute faster but for some course confusion in the last mile. Hence as well the very close finish as Brent Biggar and I tried to reclaim some lost ground over the final meters. Technically, I think that Brent would have beaten me without the misdirection. Adrenaline got to me in a positive way for the finishing sprint. (a5, racing flat)
