Monday, 7/16/12- 2:07hr (26:59min run). I set out for Ostrich Peak not really knowing exactly how to get there. My intention was to run to the trailhead in about 15min but after ~18min, I was still not there, so I stopped at the bottom of Strawberry Lane (which was perfect, because it's crazy steep). From there, I hiked up to Hitt Road and took the single-track trail (instead of the continued paved road beyond the gate) to where it meets back up with Hitt Road (not before getting lost briefly). I climbed for a while and turned around well before the peak (I think), because I didn't want to overdo it. The trail forked, and I started left but then turned around and went right. From there, I climbed for only a few more minutes before eventually turning around. After descending the trail and steep streets, I ran ~8min more home.

Tuesday, 7/17/12- 1hr+ (37:45min run). Ran to and around Lithia Park. Iced in Ashland Creek afterward. Walked home. I think I'll take another stab at Ostrich Peak tomorrow. I found some good written directions to the peak.

Wednesday, 7/18/12- 2:48hr (9:09min run). Ran to the bottom of Church Street and then hiked all the way up to Ostrich Peak in 1:16hr. Spent about 2min on the peak and returned in 1:18hr. I tried to run home but the legs weren't having it. Picked up the CR-V on the way home. Nice, new brakes.

Thursday, 7/19/12- 1:09hr (~43min run). Ran all the way to the summit of Grizzly Peak in about 33min. Caught my breath and then started down for another 10min. Hiked the remainder. Lots of folks on the trail. Nice day. Longest run since April 2011. It's been too long.

Friday, 7/20/12- 1:10hr (10min run). Yoga at YMCA and then treadmill for a few.

Saturday, 7/21/12- 30:01min run. At YMCA. Threw in several minutes of 5.0-5.5 incline. Decided to workout on the treadmill, as I can better work on my biomechanics. Also, didn't want to do much climbing today, as tomorrow is the Mount Ashland 5K, which features a 1,200ft climb in the first 1/2mi. Should be a fun scramble to the top!

Sunday, 7/22/12- 43:55min run. Mount Ashland 5K! (It's actually 6K.) First race since February 2011. It took 17+min just to get to the top of Mount Ashland! Got a nice big hug from Jenn Shelton upon finishing.
