| | W/Mike on Beach Drive, ran into a pretty good little squall and also passed through a flooded section of road. Wet feet, and a pace that stuck in the neighborhood of 7:20. 1:02:00 supernova sequence | | Add Comment |
| | Sun came out! And then as soon as I finished it was covered by rain again. Four on the Burke-Gilman Trail. Took a mile or two to loosen up. 30:00:00 brooks cascadia | | Add Comment |
| | Evening run on the Y treadmill. About a minute or so in this woman I know stepped on the treadmill next to mine and said hello. I was surprised to see her because she had a baby two weeks ago or so, but she said that her hour "break" these days is to go run. Makes sense. So she starts running and I keep going. I was planning on five, but my brain got a dumb though which, I suppose, may just be a sign my competitive juices are starting to flow again. Ashley was running slower than me, but as I approached five she was still going. No way was I going to let a woman two weeks out from pregnancy outlast me on the treadmill. So I went another mile, and stepped off three minutes or so after she finished. A little silly, but I had to do it. 46:30 supernova sequence | | Comments(1) |

| | Late morning run in Illahee Preserve, fast becoming one of my favorite places in town. It's not just me either, I saw three other runners in there today. I explored off the north end of the trail system today, taking a outlet to Rolling Hills Golf Course. I ran about two holes of the course on grass near the out-of-bounds markers, then cut back in to the forest. I had a pretty thin meadow initially, but ended up bushwhacking a bit to get back to the trail. Still having some slight discomfort in my left foot, the arch really tightens up when I start out. Hoping it's nothing plantar-related, and trying to stretch/massage the foot well after running. 43:50 (total, including bushwhacking time) supernova sequence | | Add Comment |
| | Banner Forest run w/Lemke, Mike, Tony and Pete. We started in the dark and ran by headlamp for 30 minutes, mainly on the "road" through the woods before hitting the trail. Once on single track we slowed the pace (except Lemke, who knows the woods like his living room), then picked it up once the sky lightened up. Good run in a nice place, and the rain waited until just as we finished to hit. 56:00 or so, I didn't have the timer going. brooks cascadia 5 | | Add Comment |
| | This is technically a race report, but since I was pacing rather than racing I'll leave it as a workout for blog classification. My cousin's wife Alicia started running two years ago or so. Last winter I paced her through a 5k jingle bell run, and this year we upped it to 12k and signed up for the 12 Ks of Christmas in Kirkland. There were a few A-game runners out there, but mostly a recreational crowd with Santa hats and Christmassy socks. You know the types. I clocked kilometers rather than miles because that's how the markers were. I was very happy with our time, it was a PR by a few minutes for Alicia and she ran strong through the end. Even caught a few women in the last mile and beat a training partner of hers. Splits were 5:08 (uphill, and in a crowd), 4:10 (trying to pass, Alicia actually initiated most of that), 4:45, 5:04, 5:09, 5:12, 4:46 (back downhill), 4:41, 4:29, 5:19, 4:05, 4:36. 57:28 overall.

| | The week's running plans got snarled a bit with a snowstorm Wednesday and too many holiday parties Thursday and Friday. Met Mike at Annapolis today in a steady rain, 8 miles that started easy but cranked down to 7/min pace (way too fast) by the last mile or two. We were talking gun control, go figure. Left achilles a little tight, even stopped to stretch. No watch. supernova sequence | | Comments(1) |
| | Christmas Eve group run from the Silverdale Starbucks along the Clear Creek Trail. A big group out on a cold by dry morning. Ran pretty slow with a group, could have been even north of 8/min for a few of the early miles. Everyone was relaxed before the holiday got going. | | Add Comment |
| | Knocked off work at noon, picked up my parents and Timm. We dropped mom and dad off on Mercer Island and drove out to Cougar Mountain. About 4 miles in the rain. | | Add Comment |
