Monday, write off!
Yesterday ran 45k. 4:07 averaged a 5:30 pace. I don't know what I'm going to be able to get done today. Need to study for my last final mostly. Need to do something because I've passed the big x on the calender and that means to buckle down and get ready for Edmonton ITU.

Yesterday, an hour on the bike on the morning. Later on, 8k at about 4:30 pace followed by another hour on the bike.

Ran 40k today. 3:45ish total just under 5:40 which was good. Felt great except that my foot started to hurt at 33 - 35k. I was close to home so I changed shoes and that helped a little bit. I may not run 14k in flats for a while. I stopped at the Room for a Clif Bar at 22k which really pulled me through. Legs feel good, lungs don't feel over worked it was a good day.

Ran 15.1k averaged a 4:44 pace for a 1:11:42. Feeling really really good. Finished my last exam for the time being. Spring is here pretty much. What a good day. Ran without headphones for the first time in a while. Its nice sometimes without music. Running as the sun sets through the river valley is a beautiful site and its almost sad that there was no one else around. So quiet.
