Run with Louise in PS park. Camosun, St. George's, Clinton, Salish, Powerline, Douglas Fir, Swordfern, Salish, New trail north of 4th, Admiralty, Spanish, Chancellor, Blanca.

Easy run with Julien from Dunbar, Salish, Triumf, UBC, 16th, Marine Drive.

Plan was to do 5x1200 with Louise and Julien at the track, but already after 200m I felt I had nothing in the legs. Alternated 400s. Julien quit on the 3rd one, so we then decided to do an 8km cruise around the track instead. Not a great interval day, not sure reason. Probably ran too hard yesterday.

Plan was to run 8km at 4:00 pace. Ran the first 3km in 11:30. This felt really easy so eventually got obsessed with trying to get under 30mins. This meant a 3:41pace. I'm glad we got this run in, otherwise the workout day would have been quite bad. Good way to turn it around with a tempo.

WET at False Creek. Convinced Gilles, Ian, Louise, and Catherine to do a mass-start to make it more interesting. Group of 3 to about the 3rd control. Lost about 10s leaving 3, and fell behind Ian and Gilles. Another 5s on 5.

Passed Ian eventually when he made a 10s mistake. Almost caught Gilles, but he picked it up on the last 500m and I couldn't hold on.

Fun to run in a mass-start. It made it way more challenging because we were constantly trying to avoid 5s errors, since our speeds were so close.

Clubrun from Dunbar. Running with Gilles and Ian the hardman meant the pace was set quite high from about 15mins in. 39th, Salish, Admiraly, Spanish, Chancellor, Blanca, Sweet Meander, Nature, Deer Fern, Huckleberry, Hemlock, Sasamat, St. George's, 37th, Wallace, 39th.

Ankle felt fine, but a little swollen still.
