In Seattle. Three miles from Laurelhurst neighborhood out 25th to 65th Ave. NE, then east straight to Green Lake. I ran a little faster than I have been easing out in the past week, I was pushing a bit so as not to be late meeting Aaron (we missed each other anyway) and because I was a little jazzed running in the city. We crossed wires on the meeting spot, so we each took off individually and ended up meeting one the trail, luckily we ran in opposite directions. I went about 1.5 miles around the loop when we ran into each other, then turned around and ran the loop the other direction for about 2.5, then Aaron took off toward his place and I ran back a mile or so to get to Ravenna/65th. A construction worker saw the race t-shirt I was wearing and yelled at me because he was in the same race last spring. Then I ran back 3 miles to Laurelhurst. It was my longest run in awhile, and at a pretty decent pace most of the time. I slowed down the last two miles or so, my legs reminded me that they weren't told about any 11 mile runs on the schedule (which, to tell the truth, this wasn't. I didn't expect to go quite this far). But a good feeling to be a little wiped out after exerting myself, those quick morning runs lately aren't doing that at all. I helped my uncle and cousins move boxes the rest of the day so I was pretty tired by evening. |
