Canal banks - 18:15

Nice morning jog with Leo. The plan was to get out for another 40-50 minutes but I ended up working all day and running errands. Hence, no 2nd run.

Slog through the dark at 6 a.m. First mile in 8:43, then the legs started moving a bit faster. Again, my planned 2nd run waylayed due to 11 hours at work and then some work at home. That's cool, I'll just boost up the miles the next few days.

A.M. - Canal Banks - 14:53

Standard 6 a.m. shag out with Leo.

P.M. - Federal Way Path & Canals - 47:05

Ran 20 minutes steady on the bike path, then did 6 pickups of about 2:00 each at around 5:50-5:55 pace with some easier running between on the canals. Didn't feel great today, but at least I got out. I have a feeling this route will become a favorite of mine when I run from work.

Greenbelt - 1:24

I didn't feel great today, but I forced myself out and just ran easy the whole way (7:40 pace). Took the Orchard St. access to the greenbelt and did about 45 minutes there before heading back to get my car at South. Right groin really sore. Need to stretch better.

2 mile wo; 2 x 800, 4 x 400, 2 x 800, 1.5 mile wd

Severe lack of motivation on this Thanksgiving Day. But at noon I persuaded myself to get out and do a little workout at the Borah track. I took 200 jog recoveries in about 1:05 so the entire workout was short (25 min total - 4 miles).

800s: 2:46, 2:47   400s: 1:20, 1:21, 1:18, 1:19    800s: 2:44, 2:41

Glad I got out and did something.

Neighborhoods + Canal Banks - 1:09

Nice morning run on a sunny day. Wanted to stay off the main roads so I did a couple of laps in the neighborhoods then two trips back and forth on the canals. Started easy, but ended up with a 7:22/mile average, so not too bad.

Later hiked 1:15 on Curlew Ridge Trail with Joel and Leo
