Personal: I know a secret technique for opening mangos taught me by a Wolof sorcerer. I was briefly a political appointee at the U.N. I am intimately familiar with a disciple of David Hume. |

Perfect running weather, thick layer of mist with sun behind it. Foghorns blowing up and down the Sound. Out to Fay Bainbridge +. Objective was (a) to keep most of the miles under 8:30, and (b) not to ride the horse so hard he's out of commission for the rest of the week. The first went great: through 7 I had it well under 8 (until I decided to actually run down *into* Fay B. Park, whose access road is, I remembered belatedly, a 20% grade, kinda breeaking my rhythm) and I'd say 9 or 10 of the miles were also in the sevens. About (b), we'll have to see. Made the mistake of wearing big puffy socks instead of my usual hi-tech ones, and got a pretty impressive blister on the left instep. But other than that no obvious damage. Did get a bit bonkalicious at about mile 16, had to fight through that. Maybe it's time to start bringing some kind of sugary substance along, or maybe just a bottle of gatorade.
2:29 (8:17 average). Nimbus Orange. |

| 530 w/ DG plus 4. Felt strong, ran easy. Could have run yesterday, but decided to keep the recovery day after long and medium runs until the marathon, while adding a mile or two to the daily total. No soreness yesterday, in any case, which bodes well. Ready for a good week. |

| 530 with DG + Fremont to 120th. Moron bicyclist decided to yell profanity at 6:00 in the morning instead of calling her side, inspiring 1 x 200m strides on my part. I think she'd intended a hit and run, but I was keeping up with her pretty good there for a moment! |

There was a lecture that everybody at work went to, so I came home a bit early to get a run in. Thursdays I'm on my own, and I wanted to see how my pace was looking. So after a mile and a half of warmup I started around Greenlake at a 7:20 pace, just sub-BQ. Took a mile or so to get the lead out, but after that I felt totally comfortable, it was great. Definitely capable of sustaining that for quite a while--whether for 26.2, that is the question. But with a couple of surges thrown in here and there, I'm feeling pretty good right now. An added bonus: the weather was totally inimical, with a ferocious wind that blew across the surface of the lake sending breakers all the way to the other side of the jogging path. (For those that don't know Seattle, Greenlake is basically an oversized duck pond.) Anyway, I averaged about 7:15 for those MP miles, and maybe I can knock five or six seconds of that for sheer meteorological cussedness.

| 530 with DG + Fremont to 125th. Started in a pouring rain, which let up halfway through. Air temperature fairly comfortable, and it wasn't as bad as I expected. Otherwise, just took it chill, easy relaxed pace. Met distance target for the week, feeling pretty strong. |
