Long ride with Bill and then freeway loop with Cara after that. Feeling OK but I'm going to have to do some regular icing on my knees.

Short loop at a good pace. Just wanted to let the legs move for a while and get the soreness out.

Ran with the Amador Valley kids ... they are pretty quick but need a few more base miles. It was really good to have someone to run with though.

Worked with the new pole vaulters and had a pretty good time. Then ran a modified freeway loop and finished on the track to check pacing.

Red bridge with a twist. The rain felt great but now its cold and I've got to get into the shower.

Time trial this morning with the pole vaulters. There are a few of them that could be really good. Then I ran a foothill loop. Shins hurt a bit so I'll have to do some ice later.

Took Longview road up to the lookout over foothill and then added on a bit at the end to bring me up to 20. I felt pretty good all the way through about 2:10 and then started to fall off a bit. All in all a pretty good run.

Worked with the vaulters for a few minutes and then ran a freeway loop. I felt really bad the whole way with tired legs and stomach problems. I guess those long runs take a few days to really hit you.

Vaulters and then a freeway loop with Cara. We are going to have some good jumpers this year.

Did a bit of vaulting with the team this morning and it felt OK. Along the creek up to the interchange in the afternoon.

Out along the creek in the rain. It was kind of miserable but of course we need the water so let it rain.

Out along the creek and then experimented on some new paths. Got kind of lost and stuck in the rain again so I was soaked. Finished off with a mile on the track to check pacing.

The vaulters had a inter-squad meet this morning and we had a few good surprises. They are going to be OK. I ran a modified foothill loop that took me out about 12 on a nice cloudy evening.

Freeway loop with Cara and then 4 x mile on the track. It was windy and wet but my legs felt pretty good even when running a little bit into deficit.

Foothill loop with extension. Legs feeling really good and pacing seems to be falling into place quite nicely.

Red bridge. My legs felt really good and I am starting to be able to stretch out my stride and still stay comfortable. However, I need new shoes already.

Foothill loop with extension to bring it up to 12. My legs are feeling good but I definitely know I've been running more miles.

Red bridge. I started out with Cara and we broke off half way. Felt OK but I've got to put some ice on my shins for a few minutes later.
