| Epic run. Flood warnings all around our county, so we decided on a mountain run in the Chuckanuts! Torrential rains, plenty of mud, water rising over trails in many places. Spectacular waterfalls! Crazy but fun. The climb up into Fragrance Lake is over 2000 feet elevation gain in two miles. My goal is to run slowly enough that I don't have to walk the final few steep switchbacks. Made it to mile 1.75 today. From there, the trail undulates around a small lake (we run around it several times), then ascends to a ridge line and undulates along the ridge for a couple of miles before dropping steeply back to the main interurban trail. From there it is just over a mile of flat, fast finish. A relatively short run packed with adventure. |

| Short run before daylight in Whatcom Falls with buddy Pat. We started at 6:00; by 7:00, after I had finished post run drills and driven home, there was hail and thunder and lightning. We finished barely in time to avoid it! Exciting. I did a 40 minute swimming practice, and then went on a 5 mile hike with my Dad and his dog, Allie. Intermittent wind and rain all day, no sunshine at all. Very tired now.

| Nice hike today with my Dad and his dog. My Dad is 78 and he walks fast like me! I'm thinking that this is a good thing. There was NO RAIN today. To go outside and not get wet felt just strange.
Evening track workout. About 30 people were there, wow! Last week, when it was absolutely pissing rain, about 10 of us were there. Hmm.... Anyway, wu, with dynamic stretches, jogging, and strides. I added some drills, because I still need them! Then 2X1000 at tempo pace, 2X800 at interval pace, and finally, 4X200 at repetition pace. Dynamic cool down with a couple laps of jogging. Super fun workout; last week was my first track workout since injury, and it was a short workout and kind of hard. This week, a decent workout and I felt absolutely great! Wish it were more, but it is a start, and my paces are right where they should be.
