2 mile wo, 3.5 mile tempo run, 1 mile wd

Ran a little short on time this afternoon, and I wanted to do something quality since my legs felt good and I'd been getting good sleep the last 2 nights, so I opted for a tempo at the BK track. Splits were 6:03, 5:57, 5:48 and 2:49 for a 20:38 (5:53 pace). Pace felt comfortably hard, just like a tempo should.

Weights, core and stretching - 20 minutes

Greenbelt + Federal Way Bike Path/Canals - 1:38

Long run on a gorgeous day after work today. Did the first 40 minutes easy with Conrad on the Ann Morrison/Greenbelt loop, then did about an hour solo on the Federal Way bike path and then back on the canals just below. Again, I was underfueled and dehydrated on my long run. I was going to do 14 miles, but my calf was feeling like it could cramp and my body was shutting down a little. Just need to prepare a little better for the longer runs. Still, a great day to be out running.

PMI: Canal Bank+ - 51:02

Ran pretty easy on the canals, and added a bit of time on the BK trails and campus. Did 6 x 100 easy strides on the grass near the end of the run. Bundled up and kept my ears covered (ear infection) so I wouldn't feel worse when I was done

PMII: Canal Banks - 14:20

Short jog after class with Leo at 9:30 p.m. to get him out for a little exercise.

A.M. - Treadmill - 21:08

Ran at home on the treadmill at 6 a.m. Progressed from 10:00 min pace to 7:24 pace.

P.M. - Run home from work + neighborhoods - 53:18

Ran home straight into a gigantic windstorm. I got pelted with leaves, dirt, pine needles, and other debris. I did manage to survive, re-group and add a few miles in the neighborhoods after bundling up a bit at home.

A.M. - Run to work - 26:50

Wasn't pretty, but I got there. Not sure how much good mileage at this pace does me, but for today, it was functional.

P.M. - Canal Banks + Phillipi Hills - 41:40

I ran 14 minutes steady on the canals, then did 10 x 15 sec hills, then 14 minutes back home with 6 x 20-25 second fast pickups. Nothing crazy, but a good workout nonetheless.

Hulls Gulch+ - 1:19

Was stoked for a 13-14 mile trail run, but when I got out of the car it started snowing. Four miles in and 800' higher, it was coming down pretty hard and I was getting soaked and the trail was getting slick. I did about an hour on the trails total, then finished with 2 miles steady on the roads at about 6:20 pace. Still a nice day to be out running.
