It took two hours today to get the kids ready for school.  Lost my run time.  Then at work for 14 hours dealing with weather across the US.  Loving Spring...

Really nice long run outside of Seattle along the Puget Sound.  I covered the trail systems of the Des Moine, Saltwater, and Tanoca parks.  Since so much of my running has been slow easy today I put in 10 miles at 7 min pace right in the middle.  Still pretty much a slow run but getting stronger.

A few pics from the Saltwater Trails today:

Easy run in Tacoma, WA.  Surprised today that my nagging injuries were not increased by the run yesterday.  But I am totally wore out.

Crazy day.  Coming through Salt Lake this morning we had a hydraulic leak and had to call maintenance out to the plane.  After an hour it was evident that this was going to be an all dayer so I called the company and got a hotel for the day.  Then I called Rob M for a run but he claimed to have just got back from a 15 miler so I headed out myself up city creek canyon.  I needed some running today at a fast pace since I have been running so many 9-13 minute trail miles for months.  So I did 6 miles up and ran down for 5 miles as fast as I could.  5:47, 5:27, 5:21, 5:25, 5:23.  Totally downhill but still felt good to go that hard.  Cooled down for an easy mile.

Called the mechanics and the plane was still down so I went to a diesel cat engine class over at Wheeler Machinery for four hours that I have had on my schedule for months.  Plane still down, so I went on a Tempo run along the Jordan River Trail.  Not fast, but hauling for me right now.  The first half mile I was limping with that stupid knee but it worked out prettry good and I averaged a 6:50 pace for another 10.  Pretty happy with that.

Totally packed family day.  We hosted the family Easter party at our house so the kids and I had to prepare and clean up for 60 people.  Awesome day, but not much time to squeek in a run.  Good thing anyway since I found out how sore I was
