5 miles to the Walker's, 4 miles with my Dad and 6 miles home.  My legs felt trashed this morning--way too tired for a Monday.  They felt better after the first 8-9 miles, but they never felt great.  Now it's off to Portland for a couple days.

16 miles in Vancouver, Washington.  Great weather and I'm feeling good although I need to get more sleep at night.

Final run in Vancouver, Washington.  I ran the first 8 by myself and the next 7.5 with Jason.  I took things slow and easy the first 7 miles but picked up the pace to 6:00 for mile 8 to meet Jason in time.  Average pace was 7:17/mile with Jason, along with nice scenery and enjoyable conversation.

We got home last night after a couple days in Portland.  It's always good to get home and sleep in your own bed--it made getting up this morning very difficult.  Eventually I arose and ran the Bear Creek Pathway loop from Phoenix to Barnett and home.

I'm tired.  Today was my first race in 2009 and I was wanting to run a bit faster but I'm content with the results given my weekly mileage and knowing that this is just a step towards Eugene in May.  I ran 4 miles around Central Point for a warm up and then ran the Shamrock 5 miler, an out-and-back course with 2 decent hills.  The start and finish was cool as it took place on Crater High Schools track.  The race started with myself and 2 others taking the lead and working together until mile 2 when one of the guys dropped back.  Just before the turn-around I picked up the pace and continued to gap the 2nd place guy until the finish.  Again, I thought I had a little more speed in my legs but I've never ran 80 miles in a week so maybe that contributed to the slower-than-expected time.  Oh well.  My prize for winning was a bar of Irish Spring soap.  I didn't expect too much for a race that cost $5 to enter.  I finished off the morning by running the 11 miles home from Central Point.  Pretty good week!
