A little bit chilly this morning. Pretty uneventful otherwise. It was under 8 per mile (barely). Better than any runs last week.

The weather couldn't have been better for a nice comfortable morning run. I went down Cloverdale to Executive/Emerald to Cole to Ustick. Just putting in miles today. I'll push it more tomorrow.

Great run this morning. Weather was perfect, 61 degrees, and I wanted to push things more than I had lately. I kept the coversation down and tried to keep the pace up. Once again it helped to have Randy pulling me along.

The bad thing was that I paused my iPod when we crossed Ustick at mile 6 and must not have gotten it unpaused until I was almost home. So I hacked a workout from last week to upload and went with the pace I had at mile 6. I know we didn't slow down any during the last mile or so.

Stupid iPod.

Slow and easy at first, but finished up pretty strong. I saw a couple of runners ahead when I turned into my subdivision and decided to try to catch them before they got to the corner. I just about made it.

I got rained on this morning. The run felt really good, except that I wished I had't worn a regular cotton t-shirt. The temperature was in the low 60s and I saw quite a few people out running -- until it started pouring down rain.

Ready for one more long run tomorrow then a week of vacation (we'll see how much running I can get in) and then marathon week. Ready, set, go.

Well, that's it. My last long run before Seattle. I would have liked it end with a better performance, but I woke up feeling lousy but ran anyway because I didn't really feel like I had a choice. Next week I'm on vacation, then it's marathon week. So I slogged my way along, making pit stops along the way. Now that it's over, I don't feel that bad.

I went down Emerald to the greenbelt and then up Mitchell to McMillian and down through the neighborhooods between Cloverdale and Eagle.
