Awesome steady run today by Chatfield Reservoir. It was early evening and the lake was frozen, so the whole scene seemed sererne and peaceful. I even ran along the top of the dam, pretty cool!

Today was scheduled to be a high aerobic workout, but not as fast as an AT run. I would assume that this would be close to marathon pace, so that I what I classified it as. It was really sloppy and wet which was less than ideal to run in. In all, though, I got a decent run in.

Easy run today out to Lucent Blvd. and back. I did 6x200 meter strides at the end, too. My highest mileage week ever :)!!! If I want to run well this next track season, I have to make a jump here in the next month or two. After a few weeks of this I am guessing that I will start to really feel it. For a week or two I feel like I can do almost anything, but after that I will really hit the realities/fatigue of 80 miles/week. I will just take it as it comes and try to survive!

Sweet run today. Like last week I hammered it out in Daniels Park, pushing it the second half. Overall, a great workout.

Easy run today up the creek path in Boulder. It was snowing and chilly but fun. I did some strides at the end, too.

Today was a workout Wetmore likes to call the 3-2-1, meaning 300 at 5k pace, 200 at mile pace then 100 at 800 meter pace with 200 meters of rest between intervals. I did the workout on the indoor 200 meter track, so cranking out 100's was tough since you have to make a sharp turn for the first 50 (I did run one fast just for kicks in 12.7). In all, todays workout was good!

I woke up early to get my run in before work this morning. I ran with Clint Wells and a couple of other guys from the store. I ran to the location to where everyone was meeting to get an extra three. We started at around 6:30 pace, but cranked it down the last few miles (Clint and I even hit 5:25 for mile 11!) I love this type of running. Slowly squeezing and maintaining constant pressure for a moderate length of time really helps me build aerobic base!

Today was a decent workout with the team. It was really windy, and Wetmore told everyone to run 27:30 for our five mile AT. We ended up running just under 27 mins. and it felt really easy. We did some strides and plyometrics afterwards before heading to the gym to do some strength training.

Awesome run with the team today. We ran a four mile loop that Wetmore just discovered and it was really nice. We started out at 6:30ish pace and picked it up each lap (every four miles). At the end (last five), I decided to roll with the big dogs. Vaughn and I ended up pulling away a bit and hitting 5:20 and 5:15 for miles 14 and 15 respectively. I have never been able to keep up with him or Pifer (which was a bit behind us), so today felt really good! Our overall pace ended up being almost exactly 6:00 min/mile.

Easy run today with some strides at the end. My right knee hurts pretty bad. I can't really isolate a reason because it started hurting about an hour after yesterdays run. I don't remember bending it any weird way, either, so who knows. I will probably take tommorrow off to get things healing.

My knee hurt pretty bad today, so I decided to stretch, ice and do core strength drills. Hopefully this will subside soon.

Alright, my knee felt a bit better today so I decided to attempt a run. We started out at 6:30 pace and squeezed to 5:45's by the end. This felt good after my day off, and my knee did not hurt too bad. Surprisingly, it hurt less when I finished running (even after it had time to tighten back up), so I guess that's good. Besides that, a good run. Coooold!

Alright, my knee really hurt today so I am going to take some time and get this fixed. Now is the time to get these mishaps out of the system before outdoor track comes around.

I crosstrained on the elliptical for an hour today. That was painful. I don't like the fact that you go nowhere. It feels like you exert a lot of effort with no payoff...

Today I did 30 mins on the elliptical and went to see Mark Plaates for knee treatment. He massaged the area of my knee giving me trouble, and it was definitely one of the worse experinces of my running thus far. This hurt worse than any race I have ran...no joke!

Alright, I tried running today and my knee is still being stubborn and hurting. Apparently my vastus medialus caused my patella to move a weird way. I can't stand this!!! From now on I am going to cross train for two days, then test running again. I will repeat as long as I need to until I can presume running full time again. Boo :( I want to get this over with and get rolling for track. I think I need about 10 weeks of solid work to get in race shape. If I start rolling at the beginning of February I should be good. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Pool - 5x6min. "surges" with a one minute break doing freestyle. This was actually harder than running for me.

Alright, my knee felt a lot better today. This makes me happy :)! All of my ultrasound, STEM (electrical impulse therapy), icing, elevating, massaging and waiting seem to have helped. I'll see tommorrow (fingers crossed :-)).
