Pretty encouraging run this morning, in light of the past two weeks. It's a sunny, dry, mild day here, one of the Pacific Northwest January days that feels like April. I ran out Trenton to Iallhee State Park, did a loop down to the beach then back up and through the campground, out and back a one-way street near the entrance then back on Trenton. I cut west on 22nd to Perry, then down to Shore Drive and back my usual route. Ran an easy pace, tried to keep my heart rate really low (other than climbing the trail up from the beach, and then on Shore I strided out a bit).
No achilles pain, which is great, and just a slight tiredness in my left hip flexor, which I've been a little worried about. And my overall energy level was fine, which was a worry after a few days flat on my back. So even though 8 is about half what I'd planned to be doing today, I'll take it. If I can get two more solid runs like this the next two weeks, at least I'll know I can get through Tokyo.
