11 miles around the middle school and across the bridges, then back home.  Tired for a Monday.  Not a good sign...

AM: 10 miles in GP

PM: 10 miles in Eugene.  The first 5 were on Pre's Trail.  So soft--wish I could run there more often.  Would have done the entire run there but it was getting dark and I wanted to get on roads where I could see.

AM: 10 miles in Eugene.  Past the mall, over to Costco and back to the hotel via Coburg Rd.

PM: 7 miles in Pre's Trail.  Felt very heavy and zero energy.  I didn't drink enough today and it caught up with me.

Only 6 miles this morning, still in Eugene.  After 37 miles in two days, mixed with horrible hotel sleep, I just couldn't muster much more today.  Home tonight and back to my own bed.  Looking forward to it.

Solid run.  Very solid.  It was chilly--26 degrees but felt much colder with the humidity.  I warmed up with 5 easy miles and thought multiple times about quitting and going home until it was warmer.  I couldn't feel my fingers for the first 45 minutes.  I ran out Rogue River Highway and after 5 miles, turned around and began my tempo portion for the next 5 miles.  First mile in 6:11 and I don't think my garmin was working with the thick fog.  I'm certain I was sub-6 at least.  2nd mile (5:35); 3rd (5:41) 4th and 5th each ran in 5:27.  That brought me back to the hardware store past Albertsons.  I jogged for 800 meters and began the next temp portion; 3 miles in 5:24, 5:27, and 5:15.  Another 800 meter jog and then the final push of 2 miles.  Perfectly flat past Albertsons and the hospital and I hit 5:06 and 5:00.  Felt great, besides the cold.  None of the pick-ups felt unbearable and my hamstring pain from last week was absent. Good end to the week.  Highest mileage in a while.
