I decided to move my summer camp up to 5500 feet on 6/25/13. This move will set me up for elevation marathon training. I plan on doing a half a dozen to a dozen build up runs to get ready for my 26 mile training run at 5700 feet. So long as I can remain healthy after this I am going to push for a South Sister Summit run in the weeks that follow.

At this time I am babying an irritated knee that is a result of my mile repeats a few weeks ago. You could say I went out a little too hard. My lungs were ready, my legs were not. Training for the last few days has consisted of aqua jogging, swimming and biking. This will continue until my knee is back and ready to charge forward. A small bump in the road.I also took my stand up desk down at work that has been place for the last four and a half months. These are the kinds of adjustments you have to make through training. Rarely does everything go as planned.
