SILVER LAKE -- And that's all she wrote. This went much easier than I expected. Wasn't completely painless, but the pegs handled things exceptionally well and the cardio system was more than up to the task. Legs are shot, though. Don't feel bad, but they need a few days to chill. Enjoy fellas. That was a good effort and fine result. Eight runs, about 40 miles and around 6 hours of running in 5 days. Not shabby.

SILVER LAKE -- Good little spin around the reservoir. Took it relatively easy with the second, and final, run of this week in mind. Easy and simple.

LOS FELIZ -- Quickie. Good hike and Langers on the docket for remainder of the day.

40 Min Run (base)

GRIFFITH PARK -- A replay of yesterday. Up into the park in the teeth of the sun. Went around the opposite direction to mix things up. Felt pretty well until the downhill, strangely enough. Heat was too much. Legs shot. Dried up. No cals. No salt. Felt a tad bit sick for first time in who knows how long. Took a bit for the food and drink post-run to settle everything completely. I think my legs were turning into oxygen sponges going to pick up Maggs. Elevated after dinner and got a bit of sense. Good coupla days.

SILVER LAKE -- First of the day again. Went around the reservoir and it was a pretty easy go. Calves, of all things, were blown from yesterday. Who knows what that lesson is. Again, some up-and-comer thought enough of himself to blaze past on the backside uphill. Thing is like a bunny trap. And again, I reeled him in down the stretch and probably gave him a 1/4 mile view by the end.

GRIFFITH PARK -- Second run of the day was in the midday heat, but went generally well. Have a bit of a tweak in left knee. I'm thinking something got knocked around when I bit the hill last month. Either way, it feels fine when the form is strong and long...unfortch, I'm putting in work so I'm pitching out of the stretch for the next couple.

LOS FELIZ -- First part of a two-fer. Went around the classic loop. Took it pretty easy. I was a bit surprised to be sore from the run the day before. I took that reservoir run pretty easy, all things considered. Not used to that. It had been a two-week layoff since the last run, so I guess we learn that it is indeed too long of a pause for on-going training.

SILVER LAKE -- Back in the saddle. It's gonna be a fun week.

54 Min Run (base) --157--

SILVER LAKE -- Great daily run around the water. Really torched down the back stretch. And some dude who passed me on the front side ended up cramping a 1/4 mile in once I sat on his tail for a few strides.

Really powerful these days.

SILVER LAKE -- Great run. Blazin' fast on the flats. Just destroyed some hill hopper on the back. Destroyed.
