Crosstraining and lots of PT and the hottub.  Legs and knee are a bit sore from yesterday's race.

11 sets of 1 legged hops up the stairs, abductors, squats, glute raises, and abs.

Here is a short article on Lagat's longevity.  Crosstraining again at the gym.  One more day to let the knee rest then I have to start running at least 10 miles, 5 days a week. If the knee can't handle that then....

1 mile on elliptical to warm up, 65 minute spin class with Amiee, 4 miles on the TM then PT and hot tub.  We'll call it 7 crosstraining miles and 4 running. PT included 20 one legged hop reps up the stairs, squats, abductors and glute raises.  I love hanging out at the gym for 2.5 hours.

Met Rob before work and ran north on Wasatch Blvd. and back.  Rob had already done 4 miles so he was able to take it easy on me.

Oh, big news.  BYU won an NIT game.  But does that justify a half hour discussion and the mention of Jimmer 10 times?  My job is very stressful.

11 miles on the TM with the last 5 at 6 min pace.  With the hamstring issue running faster would aggravate it but it's the exact opposite with an ITB problem.  Not sure which one I like better.

5 miles of running and stairmaster.  4 days of running in row!  I am becoming more optimistic about the knee.

Fun run with Jake, Scott, Mike, Rob, Jon, Kevin, and Adam H.  11 mile warm up around Holladay then 6 laps around SHP.  I pushed the first two laps with Jon which wore me out so I slowed and settled into a 5:50ish pace and cruised along for the last couple of laps.  Jake is definitely back from his post marathon hiatus as he powered up those hills like they weren't even there.  Scott, Mike and Kevin also ran strong. Just a so so workout for me but the bigger purpose right now with Boston looming is to get some real miles under my legs.  I know most people would say it's too late for that but I don't buy it and plus I have no other choice.  With that said, it's paramount that I hit at least 80 miles on my FEET for the next two weeks.

Great company to run with and best of all the knee wasn't any worse after the run than when I started.
