6 miles at The Dish
My parents are in town for the week so haven't run. Don't particularly like The Dish, but decided to give my parents the obligatory tour. Went to the Stanford Invite in the afternoon. They didn't look all that impressive. Ran into Chavez, which was cool. Beginning to write only in sentence fragments. Bad sign.

5 miles around Shoreline
Played a bunch of basketball in the afternoon and then did a quick run. I have a final due on Tuesday and my parents will be in town all week so will probably just run whatever and whenever I feel like it.

September 22nd
5 miles on the roads.
Haven't run since the relay on account of laziness. Just got back from seeing The Killers last night in Tahoe. It was probably the best show I've ever been to. I got two hours of sleep, though, so feeling pretty rough today.
Going to try and get in shape for the February relay in Arizona.

September 14th-16th
Didn't run on Thursday because I was flying all day.
Reach the Beach went okay. Check the other blog for a full recap. Ran 5:56 pace for my first 7.3 mile leg, got lost on my second leg and added about 6-7 minutes to a challenging 7.2 mile leg, and crashed and burned on what should have been the easiest of my legs, a 2.5 mile pancake flat closer.
We won the corporate and co-ed divisions and finished 6th overall.
Got to see Ingram (he shaved his head and looks kind of scary), Kate, and Hyland and met Sean Kelly at the fist exchange zone.
I wold total up my miles for the week but I'm so exhausted I don't think I can do simple additional right now.
Signed on for the Arizona relay in February.

5 miles at Baylands
Feeling great. Calves still pretty sore but keeping ice on them every night. Getting pretty stoked for Reach to Beach. I leave tomorrow. Looking at the legs again, I have a 7 mile leg that goes straight down, a 7 mile leg that goes straight up, and a 2.5 mile leg that's pretty flat. I think I'll be ready for this.
Verbally commited to doing the next ultra-relay in AZ on February 29th. Maybe I'll make this one of my "things".

7 miles on the roads/cemetery
Hammered out to the cemetery, recovered going around it, and hammered back as a pseudo-workout before this weekend. Actually felt pretty smooth.

September 9th
5 miles at Baylands
Ran with Welsh in the morning. Still feeling really sluggish altogether, physically/mentally/emotionally/gastrointestinally.
46 in 6 runs for the week. Little aches and pains starting to flare up, so I took it easy towards the end of the week. No big deal. My fitness isn't going to change much between now and the race on Friday/Saturday, so I might as well just go and try to have fun while running hard and trying not to backdoor.

8 miles at Baylands+Fight Club
Was going to run long today, but my body is telling me it's very tired after a really stressful two weeks. Also, got a nasty cramp in my left calf that I didn't want to aggravate any more. Got some ice on it.

September 6th
10 miles at Baylands
Back to the grind. Same shit, different day. Felt really good today. Hammered 5 of the middle miles as a pseudo-workout. Very windy today and got started later than I usually do, so it was nice and cool out. Will try and finish this week strong and then take it easy next week before the race. Maybe an easy Sachem-style fartlek early in the week.
Also, I decided I'd go dry for the month. I think it'll be good for me (physically or otherwise). I may give myself a cheat day when I go to Boston (there's a place in Brookline I have to check out) but other than that I think it'll be a good challenge.

11 miles at Baylands
Felt great today. Calves still a bit sore but I can deal with that. I think I'll be fine at Reach to Beach on the flat legs, but very concerned about how I'll fare on the hills.
Just found out Ingram will be racing R2B as well, so hopefull will be able to meet up with him.

5 miles at Rancho San Antonio
Ran with Noah again. Wanted to go longer but pretty tired from yesterday's run plus driving around all day entertaining Noah and Welsh's high school buddy. Hammered the last two miles or so. May double back tonight a little easier and longer if I feel ambitious. Left calf is a bit tight from running the hills yesterday.

14 miles at Arastradero
Ran with Noah in the morning. Brutally dehydrated and had trouble getting up the mountain. Legs felt fine but was really light-headed and had difficulty breathing. Coming down was no problem. We hammered the last three miles in because Noah said, "You can't call it a death march to the finish unless you hammer it in." Whatever.
58 in 6 runs for the week. Pretty solid.
Going up to Russian River Brewing Company this afternoon.

10 miles at Baylands+Fight Club
Hammered a few miles in the morning by myself and then putted around the Fight Club path with Welsh for the last 5. I think I need to try to get in at least two workouts before Reach to Beach, maybe a fartlek next week and a tempo run early in the week of the race.
Noah is getting in in about an hour, and we'll do a long run tomorrow.
Going to be an awesome weekend: College football all day today and then Russian River Brewing Company tomorrow afternoon.
