Foothill loop. My shoes are definitely to blame for my knees. I've run in Hurricanes for years and always try to find the cheap ones. My last pair were Hurricane 7 and they really hurt my knees. I've had probably 15 other pairs of Hurricanes and no problems before. Anyone else had this issue?

Nice run on the ridge. Found a new trail and a nice overlook of the city.

2.5 hours on the bike with Bill on the windmill loop. Then a red bridge loop with Cara at a nice slow pace.

Red bridge loop at a nice consistent pace. My legs are starting to feel OK and pretty soon I'll have to start thinking about pace work.

Ran on the ridge with Jason. 12 is probably generous but thats what is going in the list.

Long ride with Bill (3hrs). This should really help around mile 18 or so I hope.

Ran up Longview, then up the trails for a while and then home. Pretty tired from the last two days but I made it home.

It was nice to go a little shorter today ... my legs were tired but felt good once they loosened up a little bit.

I must have bumped my knee yesterday because it is swollen and hurts pretty good. Still got in my run though.

After a few days off to deal with my knee but today went 7 with Cara. Felt pretty good but sad that I missed a few days of training.

Red bridge and my knee felt fine. A few days of rest and some ice seem to have cleared up whatever it was in no time.

My knee was kind of bothering me all day so I decided to ride. About an hour sprinting, mostly out of the saddle, and my calves were cramping ... felt pretty good but I was sorry to not run again.

Stuck with the bike today and explored some new roads. Kind of nice really.
