| Two rest days. Knee cranky on stairs and the like, and knowing that Sunday will be long, I am resting. |
Thursday May 3 |
| running warm up/down (roads and trails) 42:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Trail Pegasus 2 |
| Beautiful day. Ahhh. |
| running intervals (trails - bounding) 30:00 [5] | |
| (injured) shoes: Trail Pegasus 2 |
| I've decided to put it at level 5 as my pulse and breathing really get going. It feels good though - like I am strengthening all the right muscles. I tried to really focus on form and cadence. |

| Knee cranky, and it seemed like a good day to rest. |
Tuesday May 1 |
| running warm up/down (roads and trails) 40:00 [2] | |
| (injured) shoes: Trail Pegasus 2 |
| IT band tight, but I decided to try anyway. It doesn't seem any worse afterward than before. I stretched very well after this session. |

| running intervals (bounding - trails) 28:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Trail Pegasus 2 |
| Got the circuit settled this time. It definitely feels like it is working the muscles in a different way, and building hill running strength. We'll see if a month of this gets me in better shape for all the trail races!
Seven Sisters on Sunday. Wish PG was going to be there to follow! |
Monday Apr 30 |
| running (roads) 43:00 [2] | |
| (injured) shoes: Asics 2100 - 2 |
| Early am. Knee brace. IT band sore after, knee doesn't seem better, but not worse either. Which is nice after the longish trail run yesterday. |
Sunday Apr 29 |
| running long (trails) 1:23:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Inov8 |
| With Wendy in the Fells. Felt good today. IT band sore afterward (mostly at the hip). Wore the knee brace again today, we'll see if that helps. |
| running intervals (bounding - trails) 24:00 [4] | |
| (injured) |
| Worked out a bounding session on trails, as it just isn't going to work for me on the roads. Now we'll see if I can keep it up for 4 weeks. It felt hard, but great. |
