AM - 20 miles. Jeremy Ranch Long Run. Great group this morning, probably 12-15 guys starting off together. Did the typical out and back for the first 15 miles, then Kotter and I added on 5 or so more. He wanted to do the last part on the roads around the golf course, not realizing that area is actually hillier than the dirt road (see below). I knew exactly what we were getting into and was happy to go along. Although I did slip off the sidewalk between 16-17 and took a solid tumble. Came directly down on the right knee and scraped it up a bit (and my hands!). Swollen now so today will require a lot of ice/pool time.

Felt great the whole time today. The last time I did a 20 mile run was MARCH! I'll start making these a more regular thing again next month.

Impressive week Jake!

Nothing like making the Jeremy Ranch Road that much harder.

Great run Jake. I hope the knee is ok and feels better after some good icing.

Very nice.

Although biggest climb 300 feet? By Aid station 1 at Logan Peak, we've already climbed 3000 ft...

Someday I'll convert you to a singletrack lover.

137 for the week!?...DANG! Nice work.

I like running and I think that its great for people to enjoy the type of running that they enjoy. Comparing climbing/vertical stats is like... well, if I finish that analogy I'll get kicked off here :-)

Kendall - yeah, bigger week than I've been doing... by design. Two weeks up right now, then I'll drop back down. Just a shorter high-volume cycle. Not doing the consistent big volume like last summer. Don't want to take chances with the hamstring. It felt great on the run today so that is a relief... My patella feels like its cracked, but that is Kotter's fault :-)

Big miles this week Jake. Comforting to know that even elites can take a tumble now and then like the rest of us. Hope it's nothing serious.

Very solid end to a great week. I really think the timing of TOU Marathon will be perfect for you.

From DaleG on Sat, Aug 03, 2013 at 19:49:45 from 98.202.43.67

Oh man, sorry about the tumble. Some day when I lose all this extra weight, I'd like to join the gang up there for a run.

From Jon on Sat, Aug 03, 2013 at 19:55:21 from 107.203.52.135

:)

Great ending to that run. "easier"...

From Rob Murphy on Sat, Aug 03, 2013 at 21:03:26 from 67.190.84.253

That's way too bumpy at the end!

From Matt Poulsen on Sun, Aug 04, 2013 at 08:06:41 from 74.211.25.142

Nice run to cap off a great week! You are looking very strong right now. Take care of that knee!

From SpencerSimpson on Mon, Aug 05, 2013 at 08:47:54 from 63.82.19.2

good to run with everybody. Thanks for the invite. That road is brutal. Ice bath in the creek was fantastic afterwards.
