AM: 5 miles easy.  GC-WP-FG-PW

PM: On a recommendation by Luke Nelson I drove up to Pocatello to go to his esteemed colleague Jenny something or other at Superior Physical Therapy.  I went there to get an assessment on my legs.  She ran me through a battery of tests to see all the mechanical and muscular issues I have.  It took 1.5 hours to get it all sorted out.  I thought the tests were very interesting and will likely be very helpful in correcting my problems (running related).

  Some highlights:

My left leg is weak

My left leg is 2-3 cm longer than the right

I heel strike a bit too much

My cadence is good

My right foot splays out a bit

No major pronation issues

The big problems were my ratio of Extensors from right to left was 7%

My Flexors were 19%

My Abductors were 22%

My Adductors were 38%

So not very balanced at all.  I have lots of exercises to work on it.

I decided that since I was in Pocatello, I might as well go run for a bit on their trails.  I headed up City Creek Trail for 3.5 miles (then back of course).  The trail is very windy and shady.  Perfect.  Got home late.  Quite the night.

Green Canyon - 

It was a great time had by all (just me).  Pace was borderline anaerobic.  I bet I accidentally even had a few steps that were anaerobic.

Ephraims grave loop with Joe - 

Nice and easy (and short) run with Joe to begin our taper for next weeks race.  I couldn't believe how quickly we were done.  I was just getting warmed up.  Great run, especially the part down Steel Hollow.  That trail is so awesome!
