Sunny's house. 7:00 a.m. Met up at Sunny's place for the first time but I had never been there before so I had to call Niki to make sure I hadn't passed her place off of Tacoma point on Lake Tapps. What a goregous home she just moved into a month ago!!! Her 3 kids are so so cute as well!!! It was just Sunny, Niki, and I today for a run around Sunny's neighborhood. We ran up her street turned around and then turned left on a street, hit 17th street to 16th St. Then we went on the road going towards Lakeland hills. We did a loop and then back to the gas station then to Sunny's home. It was about 4.25 miles. I had to estimate because my GPS didn't calculate where we were right away. Good run though, slow pace but good. Proud of myself for getting up early on a Sunday and running. It was cloudy so we just beat the rain, as it came later in the morning. I got to see Sunny's home after and view of the lake!! So nice to live there I'm sure!

My home. 5:10 a.m. It feels like it is getting so much darker than it used to. However, there was a cloud coverage this morning that may have made it look darker. It was just tricky to get running this morning. The temp was good though. I ran my usual route to Lemontree Lane and then on the country road to post and back. I ran had a decent speed this morning. I did have some R ankle pain though, but it wasn't severe.

Mishel's home. 6:15 a.m. I ran this morning with Niki and Mishel. I wanted to make sure and join the group before I leave to go camping. I also wanted to get a run in for sure. It was actually kinda misty though when I ran. The one day that I decide to wear a cotton Tshirt it was misty and it felt heavy and wet. We ran the usual route through Lemontree and up on the back roads, but when we got to school we made a left on a new road I am not familiar with and it made a loop back past the barn. It went on smaller gravel roads; fun new scenary!! We had a great run but had some R ankle pain this morning, even before I started.

Federal Way Scoreboard Pub. 6:30 p.m. Lisa and I met up with the IRC at Scoreboard for the first time. We had met them at the Mid summer 5K IRC race on July 13. Two of the girls were very friendly and told us about the group on Thur. eve and how we should join! It was fun to meet up with them. There was Layla, the friendly younger girl, Larry-older guy, another face mid age lady and a younger guy. So there was a small group this time. I think a lot of the people that usually meet were on vacation. They were all very nice and friendly. We all ran at different paces. We got to know Layla and Larry the most because they ran about our speed. So fun to meet new people and run BPA trail again. We ran the BPA, to the gym area and back, the usual route we used to do. It was tough with the hills going back and we also took turns pushing the Bob with Denali up the hill. I had some R knee pain and ankle pain. I may have over did myself in the same day.

Cedar River Trail-Lake Wilderness Lodge. 7:30 a.m. It has been awhile since I've met up with this group. Lisa met we there. Beautiful weather! Sunny but not too hot yet! There were about 8 of us there. I know some included Cliff, Trev, Dean, Lisa, me, another lady-can't remember her name, etc. Dean ran with Lisa and I for most of the way. We would leave the lodge and go the main route. I went about 4.22 miles on the trail before I turned around. We talked the whole day just about. Lisa turned around at 3.5 because she wanted to walk some.I ran with Dean about 1 mile more ahead then turned around. Dean kept running further. I tried to catch up to Lisa but never caught up with her. She did very well at the end! I got tired when I got the hill going up. Lisa finished about 5 mins or so before me. No pains so that was good.
