AM: 10 x :90 on/off - 8 miles
PM: 5 miles easy
I got in a short but respectable set up pickups in the morning around Bayfront Park from campus, and I followed that up with another easy 5 miles around the neighborhood in the evening. Thanks to my crash at the Double Dipsea, this was my first double in weeks.

Easy morning run in the morning before work. Wednesday mornings after Tuesday evening medium-long runs have been tough lately, but at least my left quad is finally starting to feel normal again.

I met NBSV for the usual Tuesday run. After most finished up, Billy and I mutually agreed to pick up the pace too much, so we wrapped it up early.

PM: 10 miles easy
I foolishly waited until 6:00 to run, but we had to go apartment hunting in the morning. With yesterday's run in my legs and a brutal headwind in Foster City, this was a slow run.

AM: 19 miles moderate
I got in a solid long run with Billy and Dale from Stanford and through Portola Valley. It featured a lot of good climbing, and we came in just under 1:59. Highlights included an uphill 5:50 mile on Sand Hill Road, 59 minutes for our last 10 miles, and close to 5:30 for mile 18. I just started using Strava (link to the right), so all of the data is available there.

Easy run through Atherton from campus in the morning. Valerie and I are in the hunt for a new place to live, and that's been sucking up a lot of time (thus the lack of doubles). I also don't want to push my leg too much because the tightness is still lingering.

I ran with the NBSV, starting gradually with the warmup and then holding 6:00/5:50 pace with loops around Stanford for miles 6-14. Billy, Brad, and I finished with a barefoot cooldown on the infield grass.

I waited until the late afternoon to run, but I felt better than I thought. My leg is making slow progress, but it's progress nonetheless. It feels slightly better every day.

I got out in the morning for a hour in Maine before playing 9 holes of links golf and the wedding in the evening.

I ran country roads in Maine with my soon-to-be brother in-law, Tom down to a bike path near Brunswick. It was pretty muggy out, especially for Maine. My leg felt OK enough this morning to give it a test run.

Too the day off while traveling back to the east coast in an effort to let my leg recover.

AM: 60:00 elliptical
My leg felt good enough this morning that I hit the elliptical. Other than sweating buckets, I don't have much to report other than that it was basically a pain-free hour. If I feel OK in the morning, I'm going to try running easy tomorrow.

AM: weights, core
I made it to the gym in the morning. I'm happy to report that the swelling has gone down in my quad, but it's still too painful to run on without affecting my stride. I'll hit the pool tomorrow.
