I was at a conference last week so got in some high-altitude runs. A friend talked me into doing a 5.7 mile trail race with her, and even though I am still recovering from my tendinitis, I have been feeling pretty good, so I ran it and had a lot of fun. Finished about mid-pack, which I don't mind at all.

This week I am hoping to bring both my longest run and my total weekly mileage to new post-injury highs.

BTW, that's a great quote for running, even if it wasn't originally about running. Most people, when they race, aren't really "racing" - they are time-trialing, trying to beat their own previous time.
