Early morning run around UW from Bryce's, after the late UW/Arizona game. Caught a dry spell before a soaking rain storm hit.

Traveled to Marysville, Kansas for my cousin Andy's wedding. I arrived about 3, saw my relatives quickly and checked in, then decided to explore with a run. Our motel was about a mile outside the "downtown" (it's a 3,000-person town), with no options other than running on the wide shoulder. So I took that into the town maybe a mile and a half, then ran some side streets in the quiant little residential area. Plenty of elm trees losing fall leaves, few people outside. It was very nice. Started slowly because I felt a little stiff from the flying/driving, and kept it a quick run because I needed to get back and prepare for the rehearsal. 30:10

Another run around Marysville, at mid-day once it had warmed up a bit. From the motel to a country road on the north side of the highway, then around a golf course and by the church, to another park (saw two black squirrels) and then back through the downtown to the south side of the highway. Went through a park and then hopped on the Marysville High track for a lap, wound through town as far as I could go on side roads, then a mile on the highway back to the motel. Felt good, really perfect weather. Then changed and went to the wedding. 42:50

Real easy in the early morning around the neighborhood, I'm feeling like I caught a little cold so it was good to sweat and run slowly. 24:00

Had to leave the house early to help empty my late grandmother's apartment on Mercer Island. The first item I helped with was a pull out couch, and I felt a twinge/pop in my lower back immediately. It tightened up right away and I was in pain the rest of the two hours, and I didn't touch anything else heavy. So no running during the day, just some laying flat and light stretching.

Illahee Forest in the afternoon, after my back had loosened up some. Started slowly and once I started striding I really didn't have any pain. So hopefully that's a good sign. Stretched thoroughly afterward, and while my back was tight the rest of the evening, the area of pain is considerably smaller. 31:21

Short one before work around Shore Drive, coldest run of the year. Back was fine for the most part, though when I'm stretching/walking/sitting there's still discomfort. But while running I don't feel pain. 22:00

Cold and clear morning, Warren-Manette bridge loop. Back feels fine again, ibuprofen calmed down the inflammation and I didn't feel it at all. 38:00

Hamstrings (especially the right one) really tight and it's a little chilly these days, so I ran on the Y treadmill to try and loosen it up a bit. Four comfortable miles. I don't feel like I have the wind or endurance I need, but my legs feel pretty strong. 31:30

Beautiful post-Apple Cup morning in the U District. Ran w/Timm through the Urban Horticulture Center and past Husky Stadium at a easy pace, then left Timm to go out the Burke Gilman for a bit at a little faster clip. Felt good to get a little longer run in, though my hamstrings and back tightened up a bit afterward. 47:00
