| | Trail run at Green Mountain with Mike and Chris, my estimate of 15 is a total ballpark number because we ran different than my usual routes and Mike inadvertantly turned off his Garmin halfway through. But we were running for 2.5 hours or so (again, kind of a guess because I stopped my watch and missed 2-3 miles on the way back), taking the hills nice and slow and then picking up the pace on downhills. We ran from Wildcat Lake trailhead to Beaver Pond, then up to the Vista. Then down the Gold Creek trail until it meets Plummer, then uphill on Plummer until we met Beaver Pond again. Then we ran in Beaver Pond to Wildcat in the opposite direction of how we started. This was a good run, I'm much stronger on the hills than the last two times out at Green Mountain, which is a good sign. And even after 2.5 hours I wasn't feeling much fatigue (I had three Clif blocks, one Enduralight, one bottle of water). A little creaky in the right knee, which was odd. Then to Hi-Lo's 15th Street Cafe for my favorite breakfast in Bremerton.

| | A few easy recovery miles on Shore Drive. I was tired from yesterday's run, but not beat up. 24:40 supernova glide blue -- 409

| | What a day. A 75-year-old gets murdered overnight, then a third-grader shoots a classmate just after noon, then we learn the police make progress in finding a serial killer in town. Frantic one in the newsroom, but that's the way it goes sometimes. It's stressful but intense, and you walk out with a mix of adrenaline and exhaustion pumping.
I did have time (and great need) for a late run at the Y, so five on the treadmill after a long day. Started at 8/min pace and worked it down to 7:30, nothing big. 39:00 supernova glide blue -- 414

| | As if Wednesday's horrendous news wasn't enough, yesterday I woke to the story that a highway patrol trooper was killed overnight and then the suspect shot himself. So another wild ride in the newsroom, but this time no run. It's exhausting chasing this stuff. I just got back from this morning's run to read that another person just died, drove his car into Puget Sound. What a week. Warren-Manette bridges route, medium pace. 38:14 supernova glide blue -- 419

I slept in, needing a rest from the load of the week. Two more people died Friday in crashes, this is an incredible run of bad news and it's taxing in the newsroom. It takes an emotional toll and the stress builds up physically, and my body kind of crashed last night. But when I woke up it was dry and gray, and I took my time and then ran out Tracyton Beach Road. A decent pace once I got moving, though my legs are feeling a little heavy. Mike and I are going to try for a longer run tomorrow, maybe trails if there's time. 58:25 supernova glide blue -- 427
