Ran in the new year with the annual Slug New Year's Day breakfast. This year about a dozen of us met at the Manchester Library, ran down to the water at Manchester State Park and back, and then adjourned to Doug Stutz's new house for breakfast. It should have been easy buy guys like Brian and Henry were pushing the pace. But we ran in a nice pack and enjoyed a mild weather morning with a little sun. And then went and enjoyed some pancakes. 40:35

The usual holiday Monday run with Mike. Met at Evergreen Park, when to Lions and then through Stephenson Canyon, then up to Sheridan Road to Perry and back through Manette and downtown. Then a coffee and muffin at Samudra, bless those women for being open this morning. Good pace but nothing fast, a little shorter than we initially planned, but oh well. Good enough for a holiday and a good start to the year. 1:02:40

Wednesday. You mean Monsoon Day! No thanks. Y treadmill, I would have run 6 but from mile 5 to 5.5 the machine quite three times. I finally got the point and stepped off.

A small group from the Slug Club hatched an idea for a group trail run when I was talking to Chris Lemke about Green Mountain last week. He wanted to show me another route to the top, so five of us met at the Gold Creek Trailhead this morning. Thick, low clouds and pretty chilly, with a little rain in the air. Not a perfect day, but it's always nice to run in the woods with friends. 

We ran up the Plummer Trail to the junction with Beaver Pond, then took that trail in the opposite direction from what I usually do. Up to the Green Mountain horse camp, then backwards on Wildcat to the Vista loop (where the "vista" was a sheet of white and grey), and back down the Gold Creek trail. It's a good change of pace, and not too different from my usual route in terms of difficulty. It was a little shorter than what I planned, but when you're with a group you stick with the mileage. I bailed on yesterday's run anyway, so this week fell short of my goal even before today. Knowing the Plummer and Gold Creek trails will help me though, it'll be a nice addition to my usual Wildcat route. And Mike got signed up for Chuckanut this morning, so I've got a training partner for the longer trail runs coming these next two months. 1:38:00
