Burke-Gilman Trail from 45th/Sandpoint out toward Matthews Beach, my usual run from Bryce and Bonnie's. Usually Sunday mornings are quiet on this part of the trail, but today I had *competition*. A guy moving pretty well wearing a 'North Central XC 1999' shirt, which means -- if his North Central is North Central College and not North Central High in Spokane -- we may have run against each other in college. Long shot, but maybe. Anyway, I really felt pounded in the quads from yesterday's run. That or babysitting a two-year-old last night, maybe that did it. So I was pretty tired, went kind of easy for 25 minutes and stopped before the beach to enjoy the view and stretch. Then returned at a better pace, felt a little more comfortable. Since I cut it short I'm not completely sure of the distance, but six makes sense for a 48-minute run. Good start to the week, and a great finish to February. The running year is off to a good start.

| | The eight-mile out-and-back on Tracyton Beach Road and through Lions Park. Slow to start and my quads were still feeling hammered, but picked the pace up closer to 7 min/mile on the way back. A lot of traffic on that road this morning, going both ways, which is weird. 1:00:00

| | Same hill repeat workout as last Wednesday. Two mile warmup on Shore Drive, then 6x275m on a medium grade. Hit more consistent repeats this week, after the fast start -- :59, 1:01, 1:04, 1:02, 1:03, 1:04. Then I headed back to Alder Street, where I live, and tackled the steep hill up to Trenton, which is anything but a medium grade. Got to be one of the steepest hills in town, though it's not too long. Did 2x1:00 on that, I was dead on the second. Then a mile or so cool down. 43:05.

Another shorter run, I've been dragging a little this week. Six on the Warren-Manette bridge route, with a quick YMCA detour for a bathroom stop. Legs were a little sluggish, never really loosened up and got going. 45:52 supernova glide -- 359

Met Henry at Annapolis, colder morning (38 degrees) but a clear sky and the sun was coming up soon. I had 16 planned but we turned around at 7, still feeling sluggish from the week -- although we were running a good 7/min pace, and draining ourselves some. Other factors were that we wanted to get back for breakfast and I had a beekeeping class to get to. Might make my own hiney this summer. Real inconsistent pace today, I didn't have a watch but Henry called the miles. A 7:05/min average, but there was a 6:46 in there somewhere, and a 6:50. We were kind of pushing, just couldn't get into a rhythm. I'll run another good run tomorrow, 10 planned with Mike, then two weeks until the 50k. 1:38:10 supernova glide -- 373
