I am one with the levee and the levee with me

10 easy. Turns out that trail near my place is only about 1/2 mile long. What's even the point? I wandered around Bellingham trying to find trails, but it seems there's nothing good around my apt. Grrr. But anyway, I enjoyed this run despite the wind and rain. Felt good to just roll along at an easy 7:30-8:00 pace.

12 easy on the Urb

Interval workout today. Kind of a strange setup, 5 sets of 1200m + 600m with 200m jog between reps and 400m jog between sets. By my watch that was typically 1:30 between reps and 2:30 between sets.

3:55 (uphill) 1:48 (down)

3:48 (up) 1:52 (up and down)

3:35 (down) 1:48 (up)

3:33 (down) 1:48 (up)

3:27 (down) 1:44 (up)

This workout felt refreshing compared to last week's workouts. A little less volume, a little more speed. But I think the LunarRacers have worn out completely, I was feeling rocks very sharply in the ball of my right foot. Time to get new ones.

10 easy around Lake Paddend

Easy 90 minutes on the Urb. Meant to get up this morning to split things up, but I was still sooo sleepy. 8hrs a night doesn't seem to be enough.

Cleater Challenge today. 3 mile warmup, then 2 mile tempo to the base of Cleater, then 3.3 miles of basically straight incline. I ran as fast as I could and only managed 26:04 from bottom to top and wanted to die when I got there.
