I need to catch up a little bit on my training log. I may go back to daily entries, even if I don't have much to write about, because it's too easy to let multiple weeks slip by.
The last few weeks have included a low-key 30k trail race at Lake Chabot, where I took third but tried to keep my effort in check. I did drop a 5:09 mile late in the race to try to close the gap after getting dropped on a section of windy singletrack, which admittedly wasn't a strength. I also randomly saw my old college coach, Garrison, who had gotten into ultra running and was in the middle of back-to-back 50ks that weekend. The following day, I ran another 14 or 15 with Reed in the city, and that basically cooked me for the next few days.
The following weeks, I had some decent workouts, meeting a couple of guys early at Stanford for a 2-mile, mile, 1.5-mile workout in 10:18, 5:01, and 7:40 on the 2-mile loop. I ran 5-mile tempos in Foster City on back-to-back Saturdays, running 26:50 and 27:00 but battling headwinds both times. I have a couple of solid long runs of 18 and 20 miles in there, too.
Other than that, I've been doubling when I can amid work's ebbs and flows. Valerie and Wilson finally made it to California, which is a major relief on the personal life front, and I moved into a bigger apartment in our building as a result.

I like the daily format again!
Thanks. I need to be held more accountable, and it was too easy for me to let weeks go by without updating, so daily it is.
