Ran after the cardiology final...I should have gone further, but it was windy. Need to get back to running hills...

Walked/ran during lunch. It was not a good day for running because I just feel exhausted! Thanks cardiology.

Ran the med loop at lunch to relieve the stress of a not-so-well-conducted case study session.

Ran around the foothills this morning with LC and KF. The initial portion was a decent climb, but the last half was mostly downhill. For a harder workout we should probably run the same loop in the opposite direction.

Walked with LC on the Capital high track while studying for the renal final. The temp was around 60 degrees and it felt great!

Tonight I did some training for Robie Creek on the treadmill by running 0.25 mile intervals with varying inclines:

2%-5.0/4%-5.0/6%-5.0/8%-4.5/10%-3.5; I did this routine (stepping up and back down) twice followed by a final mile at 4%/6%/4%/2%. I also walked 0.5 mile before and after. Most of the running was pretty slow, 5.0-but I have to go slow if I expect to be able to go any distance at all.

Also, the renal final went off without a hitch...except I don't have my grade yet so hopefully without a hitch.

Ran around the block with AA during a windy spring day! Good recovery to last night.

Ran around the block with MW during lunch.

Tried to run on an incline on the treadmill and only made it 2.5 miles...I was very disappointed, but I had to stop because I couldn't breathe very well. In the afternoon I walked around the track and studied with LC for the Hem-Onc final.

Ran with MW at lunch. The temperatures were nice, but the wind was crappy.

Went for a run in the foothills that had a short, steeper uphill portion (~2 miles) followed by a long and winding downhill section. I felt good during the run, but I wasn't having to do much uphill work. Maybe I'll do the run backward next time in order to get some uphill work in.

I didn't run today but rode on the green belt with Arby. We ended up riding just over 33 miles and my seat is SORE!

Tried to run but my legs and knees were too fatigued from the bike ride.

Walked one mile and ran 3 on the treadmill after taking a puff of albuterol. I definitely felt my lungs open up, but I had a hard time running inside.

Ran on the greenbelt 7.2 miles of the 8.38. The first 3.5 were into the wind which wore me out and I felt sluggish throughout the run.

Ran the first 3 miles of the Robie Creek course with MW to get an idea of how steep the incline will be. Definitely it won't be easy, but I think we can do it. I didn't feel too fatigued at the end (which is good since there are 5 extra miles of uphill!) and I'm more optimistic about the race than I was a few days ago. There is a nice little downhill break at the beginning before the long and treacherous climb...

Walked a mile and ran an easy 2 on the treadmill as a recovery day.

Tried to run on the treadmill tonight and I just didn't have a good day. I'll just try again tomorrow.

Another bad running day...ran 3 at lunch and then ran after school with LC. Felt tense uneasy and hard to breath both times. Time to mix it up.
