AM: 9 miles in GP.  I found two quarters and a dime.  Pretty good haul if you ask me...

PM: 6 miles in Eugene.  Couple miles to campus, couple miles on the track, couple miles back.  I still think it's pretty cool that such a world famous track is open to anyone who wants to run there.

Had dinner at Track Town Pizza.  Not sure what has taken me so long to eat there  The food was good and the atmosphere was even better.  There where a TON of pictures on the wall which are signed by countless olympians.  A few other sports were represented but it was 95% track and field athletes.

AM: 9 miles along the river.

PM: 7 miles in Eugene.  FINALLY a great day of weather in this city to make the running all the more enjoyable.  There were people everywhere out getting exercise.  This city comes alive in the late spring and summer.  Oh yeah, and while I was running on campus I saw University of Oregon running back/sprinter LaMichael James working out at the track along with Kenyon Barner.  James in pretty small.  Not sure how he'll make it in the NFL.

AM: 11 miles in Eugene.  I ventured out and ran a new course; south through the hills and eventually to the start of the Butte to Butte 10k that I ran in 2008.  I've been wondering where that was and have been surprised that I haven't found it until now.

PM: Just 4 miles in the rain while breaking in a new pair of shoes; Mizuno Ronin.  I've never worn Mizunos before but they seem like they'll do just fine.

Not cool.  Work keeps getting in the way of my running. ;)

Only had time for a little jaunt with the family after getting home tonight.

11 miles around GP.  I'm on a good streak for finding money this week.  Today I founds one quarter and two dimes.  That makes for over one dollar in the past few days and with it I can buy....1/4 tank of gas.  Sweet.

15 miles on the Cathedral Trail.  It was pretty sweet.  I busted out a new pair of trail shoes (my first) and wanted to see how they felt.  I ran a combination of loops; basically three out and backs with water stops between them each.  I felt great and thoroughly enjoyed being alone on the trails for nearly 2 hours.  It's hard to get into a rhythm on the ever-changing terrain but the trade off is well worth it.  I enjoyed it enough that I'm going to try and jump in the trail marathon in two weeks in Eugene.  Hopefully there are slots still available.

Finished the morning with 1 mile barefoot at the HS.  Fun morning!
