| Mountain run day! My favorite. I did Fragrance Lake today, and counted the 1.8 mile climb as vo2 max miles, based on heart rate data! Whew!, but I ran all the way up this time, at a pace of about 15.5 minutes per mile. Kept the rest of the run really mellow, a meander around a peaceful lake, a scoot along an undulating ridge trail, then a long swift downhill, finishing with a flat 1.5 miles on the trail.

| Two runs today. First run with my daughter in a woods near our house. We ran 4.18 miles easy up and down hills. In the last 1/8 of a mile, I had a bad fall, and took skin off of right knee, left quad, and left shoulder. The shoulder is the worst; I think I tucked and roll on that shoulder. SO, I was a bit stiff for tonight's track workout. It was supposed to be 8 laps, alternating between a pace slightly faster than tempo and a pace slightly slower than tempo. Mine were 6:53, 7:10, 6:53, 7:24, 6:33, 7:08, 6:19, and 7:24. Felt good to move, but I am afraid I will be stiff in the morning.

| Nice run this morning; started early and ran from the Bay up into the Chuckanuts and back. Even though it wasn't hot I ran out of water. I just carried my hand held water bottle, but it wasn't enough. I am going to have to start carrying one of those little backpacks, I think. |

| No running today. A recovery bike ride, really easy, for 1.5 hours, from the mountain cabin down to Silver Lake and back. Went for a hike in the afternoon; up to Church Mountain to see if there are going to be any huckleberries this year! There is way too much snow, and probably no huckleberries this year. Angry bears.

| Yoga class this morning. This is number three this week, and I am going tomorrow also. I am trying to make up some of the classes that I have missed this summer. Track workout tonight. 3.27 miles wu in the fun hattori shoes. Then, 1200 and 800 at 5K pace and 600 and 400 at mile pace. Finally, a 200 at "give it all you have left" pace. Fun workout, because each interval gets shorter, so it is mentally pretty easy. The hardest one to pace was the 600 at mile pace.

| 22 minute run, and some hip and core stability and mobility exercises, plus planks. Nice to be home, but I am so missing the Oahu warmth. I love waking up and its warm and going to bed and its warm and its warm in between. I guess we are having relatively nice summer weather here, probably the nicest of this summer yet, but its cold in the morning. I am off to the Metthow Valley this morning, for a trail race tomorrow. It is warmer and dryer over there, but the race is at elevation, so the start will probably be around 40 degrees. Yikes!

| This is the most beautiful race I have ever done. Five miles of steep uphill up and over Cuttroat Pass, then 6 miles downhill to the Cutthroat Lake Trailhead. So beautiful on top you have to stop and enjoy the view - and look for huckleberries, of course! I had a great time, and really just ran this one for fun. It takes place in the beautiful Methow Valley, about a three hour drive for me. I stayed a few days just to take it all in! |

| A recovery mountain bike adventure. Still in the Methow, so new trails for me, and of course I got lost and was out way too long, with a long drive home ahead of me. Really fun mountain biking though; nice and smooth, fast trails. Not all rocky and rooty and jumpy like home in Bellingham. Really loved the ride! |

| Morning run with both my kids. Yikes! Hard to keep up, but I tried. I ran in the Hattoris, which are ideal for this length of run, partly road, but mostly trail. Easy bike ride in the afternoon.
