Tremendously stressful day at work with ILR and meeting with Henry, but I got out there in 74-degree weather, put on my music and hit up a windy trail. My left hamstring was tight; my left pinky metatarsal was sore; my upper back was wrecked; my left tear-drop was sore... I was still beat up from Bel Monte, but I needed to run. Mentally, it felt like I ran 20 minutes. Absolutely amazing the aerobic strength I have... no issues running 90min+, just cruised. Amazing.

Was full of running this morning and my schedule opened up to run before getting into the office. And so, with a stomach full of Honey Bunches o' Oats and Cafe Con Leche, I rolled down the Rolling Rd. trailhead. Once I hit the road, I knew I wanted to test my climbing legs on the two KOMs I knew where out there. I did have yesterday's light workout, so I didn't want to push, but run hard. I ran hard on the first uphill (12.1% grade for 600m), thinking it was a good effort, but fell way short (7:00/mi vs. 5:53/mi for the KOM). Not even on the same planet. However, I knew of one other...

Only negative is that I felt a "hot-spot" deep in my lateral gastroc head. Pretty concerning, but I hope it's all good. I worked tremendously hard today. That climb was a killer. My quads were shot and that's why I could only run four. Great work!
