8mi, 1:00.19: Easy again AND my first mosquito bites of the year. W.C. Road/Winthrop trail loop. Glad to be running at all because my upper-middle back is still giving me lip. Moist heat is key, but it has been in n' out in waves all week. Too much time in the studio chair no question, but it's an odd pain that is hard to isolate and yet not altogether debilitating or even getting worse. S is suggesting a massage sometime next week. Might be a fine idea. (a5)

5mi, 35:40: Easy dist. Working through a tight back, but otherwise feeling fine after Sunday's long run. The coming Saturday is the Mazama 10k. That'll be gravy for me after running to the start from home. Trying to run the 10k faster after 12 miles will also fit the newly entered strength phase. No legitimate LONG run this week, but the following will be a good one to go over 3-3.5 hrs. (a5)
My Book for Runners
SLOW DAYS, FAST FRIENDS was inspired by those ups and downs in the life of a runner. Hopefully, it's a reminder for those injured runners among us, to slow down and recover strong. Sit back, relax, and ENJOY that temporary training set-back :)
