Total Distance

10.00

From Krissy's house to Discovery Park, one big loop then a small loop, and back. Misty rain most of the afternoon run. Good run. Didn't feel the tightness or fatigue of Saturday's run, so maybe I just needed to loosen up a bit. 1:40 or so.

New Balance sneakers (didn't have my regular running shoes with me)

Since you're shopping for a fall marathon, check out this one: http://winthropmarathon.blogspot.com/

Net downhill in WA state and on the "nice" side of the mountains for that particular time of year. Just learned about it from another blogger (Snoqualmie) and it's sounding verrry intriguing.

Hmmmmm.... very interesting. I like Winthrop also. Two other races in that time frame on my mind: Top of Utah marathon the week before, or Cle Elum 50k, also Sept. 18.

Also, there's a 50k on Point Defiance trails on Oct. 16 that I'm pretty serious about.

Hey, we talked once about doing a trail run on the White River course. When was that? This weekend? Sorry I kind of dropped the ball and didn't get it on my calendar. I'll be in your neighborhood the next weekend (Yelm), I'll let you know if I'll be in a position to meet for a trail run.

We did, originally for last weekend. I was completely OBE with Dianna getting into a car accident a couple of days prior and coming back from a business trip that Friday. Actually, I'm still completely overwhelmed by stuff as we're temporarily down to 0 operational vehicles of our own. Hadn't heard about the Pt. Defiance 50k...will have to look that one up. Not sure if I could do Winthrop now as I recalled that we might be back east then visiting family. Guess there's some time to sort through all that.

Don't know of much in Yelm proper other than the (paved & flat-ish) rail trail there that runs East (can't recall the name). Anyway, yeah, if you think you're going to have time, drop me a line and we'll try to figure something out. I may have to run or bike there at this point :)
