Kalispell, MT 1:00 pm

Pace: 7:30

I've been in Kalispell for about an hour and a half. I have to be to work by 3. I want to get in a run, but I don't want to get lost. So, I go to Google and map out my run carefully. I write down each of the roads I'm supposed to turn down. I'll be ok, right? Wrong. Little did I know, THEY MOVED THE ROAD! One of the roads I was supposed to turn down was gone. Disappeared. Barely a trace of evidence that there was ever a road there.

So I ended up going a few miles out of my way. My 4.5 mile run turned into an almost 7-miler. But I made it back in time. Ran strong and felt good. And it is pretty up here.

Kalispell, MT 10:45am

Pace: 7:59

A great run on a highway outside of Kalispell. I took a loop on a highway that climbs up 500+ feet to a lake, then down a little canyon back into town. Weather was great, felt strong. Got a little anxious when I thought I might be lost around mile 8, but I stayed on track. Great running through the pine trees past cabins and ranches.

I started to fatigue a bit toward the end, but was able to keep my pace down in the 7:40s over the last few miles to get my cumulative pace down to my marathon goal pace.

I ran through some farmland this morning. The sky was blue and the air was crisp. It would have been a perfect run if I hadn't gotten so little sleep last night and I hadn't lost my sunglasses and that big dog didn't chase after me. But other than that, it was great.

Pace: 7:39

Ran mostly on city streets (town, village, hamlet, whatever this is). Thought it was going to be a slow one today, but started feeling it and put in a good run.

Same route as Tuesday. Same pace as Tuesday. Splits were very similar. The main difference today is that I got really cold toward the end. It was nice when I started out, but as I gained altitude the sun went away and it cooled down a lot.
