| | Another mild, cloudy morning. In Seattle, ran the Burke-Gilman Trail from Laurelhurst to Mathews Park and back. 7:30s on the way out (that's an estimate from two little time trials where the path is marked), but I was really feeling it coming home so I let my legs do what they wanted to and got down around 7 minutes. Really felt light and free with my stride, with plenty of energy, even coming a day after another eight miles. Probably time to step into double digits for the winter. 59:00 supernova glide

| | Six miles indoors at the Y. Warm enough to run outside, but I hadn't been to the Y in awhile and just felt like going there. I hadn't watched sports highlights in awhile either, so that's the bonus. Started with an eight minute mile, then sped up each subsequent mile until I was running 7:30. So a good brisk pace for indoors, but not too taxing. Really ran free and easy in my legs, especially for the treadmill. Flying to Knoxville tomorrow for work, hopefully I can find a route down South on Thursday.

Missed my run in Knoxville because it snowed and my body wasn't ready for that 6 a.m. wake up call (my PDT body clock said to me 'You're waking up at 3?'). I ended up in meetings for nine hours plus another five of more-or-less mandatory social time, so between that and travel time I was booked Wednesday and Thursday. Friday I flew back, Krissy picked me up at the airport and we drove straight to Discovery Park. Changed in the car and flew out for two laps of the trail in a misty rain. The first we actually ran pretty quickly, I think I had some pent-up energy from sitting on an airplane I needed to blow out. Backed off a touch to make the second more realistic. Still, a good pace overall and 61 minutes of running the trails. (I'm estimating the eight.) 1:01:18 brooks cascadia -- 44

Skipped Slugs because I really, really needed to sleep in (and none of the other guys were planning on being there). I did my first yoga class instead -- whew. Much more difficult than I was really prepared for, although in a good way. So that got my heart rate up and worked some muscles I tend to ignore. Rested through the afternoon, then went over to Illahee Preserve at dusk with Krissy and ran around with head lamps for awhile. It's really warm and pleasant outside, above 50 and felt like April running in shorts in the dark. So global warming is real, obviously. Easy pace, just getting some miles and working out the muscle soreness from this morning so tomorrow isn't so bad. 29:10 brooks cascadia -- 48
