AM: 7 mies on Ryans loop. Lots of rain. Actually it was more of a drizzle so not too annoying as it came down but by the end I was drenched.  I had an early start today so hopefully I can squeeze in a few more tonight after work.

PM: Its been a week since I ran in my Five Fingers....way too long.  Or maybe it's just right because I get excited to run in them like it's my first time all over again.  I ran to the park and then thought I'd venture into Tigard's park which required about 5 minutes on concrete.  My achilles didn't love it but it was worth it once I got there.  There are a number of different trails to run on which mixes things up much better than Tualatin.  Anywho, I felt good and will rotate between Tualatin and Tigard every other week or so.

9 miles on Ryans loop. Feeling good.  My calfs were feeling it last night before bed due to the Five Fingers run but they felt fine this morning.

I ran the Desperate Housewives loop and then laps around the HS XC course.  I felt a little sluggish at the beginning but after a couple miles felt great.  Just one run today.  I'm planning on a double tomorrow with Ryan as it's supposed to be 74 degrees on Thursday.

AM: 5 miles at the park in my Five Fingers.  It was another frustrating morning of running into dog owners letting their pets roam free of a leash.  Not cool.  Planning on more tonight with Ryan.

PM: 6 miles on Ryan's loop....with Ryan.  It was hot!  Not just warm but actually hot.  That's a nice change although I was worried about Ryan getting sunburned.  I suppose we weren't gone long enough for too much damage.

I ran through Tualatin and Tigard Parks to get to Tigard HS.  1 mile on the track and then home the same way.  It was a nice morning to be out--the weather was perfect.

I had considered going to Forest Park this morning for a run but at 5:30 I decided I'd rather sleep another hour and not spend that time driving.

Plan B had me running into Lake Oswego on a route I hadn't tried before.  It was pretty flat for the first 5 miles and then a couple miles of steep hills with some amazing views of the Tualatin valley.  At the turn-around I had done 7 relatively easy miles so I turned around for a 6 mile tempo run on the return home (took a slightly different route).  I didn't run with my Garmin so I didn't know my overall pace until I got home and measured the course but it worked out to be a 5:45 average for 6 miles.  I was expecting somewhere around 6:00 pace so I was pleased with the 15 seconds faster/mile.

Finished off the day by running 1 mile with Ryan AND Andrea.  Good stuff!
