| no trainng today.... grrrrr
developed a pain on the left side of my groin which looked like a hernia but no portrusions, and the doctor thinks it could be a strain, but i think its a pinched muscle, as it only flared up after i sat a bit, and once i walk or bike its fine... no races, and will try to not train hard for a couple of days... really at a bad time, weather s good, and i am trying to ramp up... |

| pacific rim 24h run, started well too fast as predicted, just hard running 12 minute miles from the start, need to learn that, then slowed down from 10m/M to 12m/M within 5h, yumay joined me from mile 18 to 31 and mile 56 to 62... i decided to call it a day after 13h, could have walked and gotten 100 miles in anyways, but knee was bothering me a bit, as well as arch, this is by far my longest continuous run, and i was very happy with it, and got a full nights rest.. finished 5th overall i think... |

| shoes: Brooks Cascadia #3 |
| lord hill 50k, except i only did two loops as my stomach was bothering me and i was a wussy and decided to quit after 2, as you compete in the 2 lap caterogy and dont drop, i made it contingent on wether yumay ran 1 or 2 loops and when i saw her in the car i dropped, and am not even feeling bad about it, except that i am writing up a storm so maybe i am subcontiously... it was a beautiful day and i ran it pretty hard but glen was already 10 minutes ahead of me in 1st place after 2 laps, would have probably finished 4th in the 50k... feeling great now.. |

| highlight of the day was that i saw a bald eagle really upclose building a nest on the burke gillman trail! woke up this morning and decided I needed to rip myself out of my bike-hybernation, it was cold and clear, and I had a good ride until about 1h, when my left knee started hurting like hell, it was on top of the kneecap, and when i was standing cycling it did not hurt half as much, after a shower my knee is totally fine.. weird, it was the knee i fell on last saturday, maybe that was why... |
