Worked out on the treadmill-tried to focus on doing some incline work. Walked one mile at 0% grade to warm up. Ran 0.25 mile intervals at increasing 2/4/6/8% grade at a speed of 5.0. Walked 0.25 mile at 2%, ran 1 mile 2% speed 5.0, walked 0.75 mile at 2%.

Today I entered the race to Robie Creek with some friends, which is super difficult and probably way out of my league. My goal is just to be a finisher- and if I can run the whole way then good for me. More importantly I have a training goal to help me get through most of this spring semester.

Ran 2 miles and walked one at a slow pace to get some recovery running in. The knees may not be quite prepared for running more than 2-3 days in a row, so I was trying to take it easy.

Ran at lunch today and got startled when a car passed by and a dog in the back seat started barking out the window. I screamed like a little girl...

Ran in the foothills again with LC. I used the garmin to measure the elevation change over distance for the route we ran today and it seems like we gained 450 ft in about 2 miles, with the most steep portion occurring in the second mile. This should be a good area to train for Robie because I think it will be a similar grade of incline, maybe slightly less since Robie is stretched out over a longer distance. Also got a new pair of Saucony Progrid Guide 3 shoes which are analogous (according to the Idaho running sales lady) to the Mizuno Wave Inspire shoes that I have been wearing. Today was the first run in these shoes and so far so good.
