Ran around the hospital, Albertsons, middle school, etc for 11 miles. Light drizzle the whole way and by the end I was pretty wet and cold.

AM: 3 miles.  Rough night with sick kids...

PM: 10 miles in Coos Bay. Ran across the bay to the southwest side of town. On my way back, there were lots of fire trucks and police sirens coming my direction. Turned out that there was a house on fire but with the clouds, I didn't see the smoke until I was right there. Watched the news and looks like the house was destroyed. Not cool.

Ran around Coos Bay for 11 miles. Found a new road to run on southwest of town for a few miles, then ran east across the bay and then back to the hotel.

Ran west of town.  First 5 miles easy, mile 6 in 6:07, mile 7 easy, then 8-9 in 5:34 & 5:26.  Felt like garbage.  Just slow and.....not fast.

Similar run to yesterday.  Ran west of town and zigzagged around random streets for 10 miles.

21 miles around GP.  Three good climbs throughout (Anderson Dental then into town, up to the freeway exit and down on Beacon, then up 10th and down Hawthorne).  I didn't have much of a gameplan and figured that a tempo portion would be worthless with the climbs so I just plugged along for 15 miles, then dropped the pace for 5 miles (5:35, 5:30, 5:30, 5:32, 5:25) before a slow final mile.

Felt really good, although tired by the end.  Averaged 6:38 for the entire run. Cold out again, but it's February so what do you expect...
