| | Met Mike at Evergreen Park, ran to Lions Park and then back via Manette Bridge and downtown. Pushed for a little while (close to 7/min) and I could feel it, so we backed off halfway through. A little groin soreness by the end, and felt more winded than I'd expect. 41:00

| | Illahee Preserve morning run, just about had the whole forest to myself. Foggy and cool, weather that matches this low boiling cold I'm getting. Legs felt good, a little fatigued after 20 minutes in but no pain or anything. And that may have been the cold anyway. 33:10

| | Wonderful New Year's Day run. Mike and I met Chris Lemke and Shari at Gold Creek parking lot, and ran out the Gold Creek trail until it splits with GM6 road. Rather than head uphill on the trial as usual, we took the lower path and then the wider GM6 forest road. That kept us out of the way of horse traffic and let us run side by side slowly and chat. Chris and Shari were running really easy, and we stuck with them (10 min/miles, probably) most of the way before leaving them closer to the horse camp. At the horse camp there was a pancake breakfast, so we paid and had some pancakes and eggs and a small cup of cowboy coffee, then ran back down via Wildcat-Gold Creek trail. We didn't hit the Vista loop, but when we got on the ridge just below the view was spectacular. We saw a silouette of Mount Rainier and the trees of the Bremerton Watershed sticking out from a sea of fog that was blanketing Puget Sound. Pretty incredible scene, and there I was with no camera. Sun never came out down below today, so I'll savor the memory.
About 8 miles in 1:20 or so. Felt healthy and we sped up a bit and raced on some of the steep downhill.

| | Easy five miles on a beautiful sunny winter day. Warren-Manette bridge loop, with a quick stop at Evergreen to look at the scenery. A number of others out enjoying the weather.
I'm still feeling a little fatigued around 20 minutes in, but that's likely this cold I have. My abductor was a little sore to get started, Wednesday's trailing may have stretched it a bit. Other than that feeling pretty strong for a comfortable pace. 38:50

| | Illahee Forest with Mike. Comfortable pace from Almira Lot, north route to south then doubled back on Bootleg Trail. Hip flexor/abductors feel fine, though for the second day in a row my ankle has stiffened up following the run. 39:45
