I'm a physical therapist at Oasis Physical Therapy in Pasco, WA. My priorities are family, school/career, then running. 

  Living in Tri-cities Washington (Pasco) and loving our experience here. We have lots of family and friends in Idaho and Utah as well, so hopefully racing in all 3 states will be common.

12m@7:15 at Deer Creek Reservoir on rolling dirt and gravel hills. Very relaxed. Listened to my ipod shuffle for the first time in a very long time. The quads are sore from the fast downhill Saturday run, so it was nice to take it easy today.

You guys Killed it on Saturday! Solid work. You planning on any longer tempos in the next couple of weeks or are you going to start backing off a little?

Thanks Ben! From here on out my tempos won't exceed 5 miles. Next week's long run is just 18 with probably a small pick up... so yeah I'm starting to back off a little bit but still keeping the quality high with the workouts and still keeping decent mileage through this week. How about you?

I usually do one more last long tempo 2 weeks out before STG. Usually 13-15 miles down Monte Cristo. It is usually the run I look forward to all year with the colors changing and cool air. But after that I usually recover and might do a small tempo just to not get stale over the next two weeks.

Nice. Best of luck with the rest of your training! See ya in a couple weeks!
