The Landing, Renton. Ran with the Balanced Athlete. We ran along 405 hwy. Most of the group just did a short run and then turned around. The group that went the furthest was only 5 miles and then they turned around, Dean, one of the store operators, and another girl. I had to keep running by myself. That was rough! I ran all the way to Bellevue, to the Bravern-Neiman Marcus shopping center. I did 4 laps around the shopping center to increase my distance so it would be almost exactly 20 miles round trip. I ran the same route on the way back. I would say I felt more tired than usual starting out. I got a little runners high at about 10-13 + miles but when I hit 14 it started to bother me. On top of that it started to pour down rain on me. Not just a little down pour but a big one! Sucked but at the same time was invigorating! It definetly cooled me off. From about mile 15 on up I had to take short walk breaks. My legs were just aching/hurting behind the max. It wasn't a sharp pain luckily so I kept running. I took Perpetulum electrolyte mix in one water bottle, water in another, and extra water bottle, and some energy chomps by Gu. I think they did really help. Such a tough tough run but so glad I am done! I am now done with all my longer training, next longer run THE MARATHON!!  (hopefully I'll be ready for it--it still scares me) To think I have to run an extra 6 miles on top of what i did today...wow....

Some miles were slower because I had to walk some)

ARHS. Early a.m. Not much sleep so very tough to get going. Once I got running I did okay but excited to get home and go back to bed if I don't work. Foggy and kinda cold starting out. Wore jacket for the first mile and then took off. Legs felt good except a little stiff from Sunday. About 18+ laps. (8 one direction, 8 another direction, then 2+ the other way).

TT: 44:11                              Avg: 8:50 min.                      Max: 7:50 min.

Splits: 8:59, 8:55, 8:48, 8:46, 8:41 (very happy with my pace and perfectly getting faster each mile!)

ARHS. Early a.m. Very foggy and kinda chilly this am but mainly due to the moisture in the air. Again, hard to get up this morning-still not getting to bed early enough to wake up at 5 ish. Decided to either do hills this a.m. or push myself on the track. Decided for a faster run on the track. I felt the difference and was terribly worn out! Saw guy walking his 2 dogs early this morning near elementary school.

TT: 32:32 Avg: 8:08 min. Max: 6:45 min.

Splits: 8:18, 8:18, 8:02, 7:53 (yeah!!!!)

Roegner Park. No rain! It was just slightly cloudy and some sprinkles before I ran. Ran at about 9:15 a.m. No work today so was able to do my long run mid morning. Saw some disc golfers, walkers, and a sad situation. The sad situation was a black lab laying in the road and a lady holding and stroking his head. Then I saw a couple police cars over there. I think the dog got hit by a car; the owner looked so sad....Running wise: I had a pretty good run but was thinking the 8 miles would fly by so quick but not fast enough. Ran the regular out and back loop twice without the extra stretch past parking area. Then I tried something new and ran the last mile or less up the hill going up to lakeland hills. ouch! That was brutal but I did it slow without stopping. I got a little past mill pond loop and then turned around then when down a new path behind the tennis courts. No knee pain. well slight on my R knee front but not worriesome.

Splits: 8:49, 9:00, 8:45, 9:01, 8:48, 8:53, 8:53, 9:59 (Last mile was up a hill)
