Enumclaw Starbucks. 7 a.m. Ran with June, Niki, and Mishael for extra mileage before the regular group. We started a little late because Mishael thought we were meeting at June's house. June took us the usual route loop going towards the main St. going into Enumclaw and on some side streets back to Starbucks. On the wetland area about mile 4-5 I turned around and did that extra wetland stretch again to get a full 5+ miles in. Then when I went back towards starbucks the group met me at the light. Runners: June, Niki, Mishael, Angela, Anna, Sunny, Shannon, Janet, Lindsey. We did the same route past wetlands on bike trail back along the farm land. I started to really go at a descent speed trying to keep with Angela and Anna...they were booking it and about that point on mile 7-10 I was starting to get tired. It pushed me a lot though. Weather wasn't bad, just misty and not too cold. Great run! Got my full 10 plus some mileage in.

Wow Anya! So impressive! What races are the other ladies training for? What's your time goal for the half marathon?

Thanks girls, you both are so cute and supportive! Some of the girls are training for the Mercer Island half in March, and then some are doing the Tacoma full, I think in May. Others run just to be in shape. Not sure exactly what my goal would be for Linkin City, I just want do to under 1:52:00, which was the one I did in Big Sur. I will feel good if I can do faster than that!
