| Ran to the top twice with a run down between. Time from the gate to the bench at the top was 7:41 the first time and 7:50 the second. Then did 5x30s bounding. Did the first couple down lower on the hill where it was very muddy and sloppy. Worked my way up the hill and just past the flattish area in the middle the road was nice and firm. This is where I did the last 3. The poison oak is just about the bud out into leaves. Yeah!! |

| Warmup run with Annie at Philomath HS. Almost zero sleep last night. I think it was a combination of taking a nap and eating Valentines chocolate. |

| 8x5min intervals with 2 minutes of rest between hard efforts. Listened to my wildlife behavior lectures. One of the lectures detailed a study on rough skinned newts, which are very common in Corvallis. Turns out they are extremely poisonous, with a toxin that is closely related to the fugu fish (pufferfish) from Japan that is used in their exotic killer sushi. They aren't too toxic for some poison tolerant garter snakes which eat them. |

| Commute to work. Saw my first western bluebirds at barley hill. At first I thought they were robins they were so big with red on their chest, but I could see the blue. They had a very specific distance that I could approach. When I road, they flew. When I stopped they stopped, so I could get a real good look at them. They definitely did not have a white wing bar which would make them lazuli buntings. Also, saw some white crowned sparrows. |
