| | Over in Seattle, didn't get a Saturday run because I was at a kids' track meet all day. I'm helping coach the Bremerton Jaguars, though on meet day that feels more like babysit for five hours with short bursts of coaching when the kids actually get on the track. We have lot of little guys on the team, and keeping 6-year-olds tuned in is tough. For the first meet of the year it was a success, but no time for a run. I was on my feet all day though, and no ill affects from Friday's 20 miles. Sunday morning I was in Seattle and did my five-mile Burke Gilman/Husky Stadium loop with my brother. Good to run with him because it kept the pace easy. Legs feeling alright now. 38:45 brooks cascadia -- 135

| | I ran the workout with the girls I'm coaching tonight, and did a 100-200-300-400 ladder and back down. I should get extra workout points for yelling 'let's go!' 145 times or so. Rather than hang around the track for more miles, I drove over to Illahee Preserve and did the trails for 30 minutes at a comfortable pace, with 6x100 striders at the end on the road. By the end my legs started feeling heavy, I think I'm still shaking Friday's long run out of my legs. supernova glide -- 179

11th-Shore Drive loop, regular pace. Rain's here, and it looks like it's staying. 38:51 supernova glide -- 184

Morning run along Beach Drive w/Henry, and a guy named Hans joined us. Rain held off, which was nice.
We started easy and slowly progressed into a decent pace. We went 8:04, 7:31, 7:16, then a 7:04 with an uphill and a quick one at 6:52 before the turn. Backed off to a 7:12 and 7:09, then another fast one, 6:47, followed by 7:02, 6:56, and a 7:25. And I somehow missed one, which is confusing. 1:19:38
The essence is it was a good tune-up one week out from the marathon, my legs felt lighter than they have in a week. And the quick miles were really smooth. A little pain/tightness in the left hip at the end of the run, but plenty of energy.
After that I went to track practice and tried to keep the girls focused through a light workout and relay practice. That was more difficult than the 12 miles. The excuses I heard on why practice should be cut short: someone needs to go to the mall, one needed to play video games, one needed to go back to sleep. Kids these days.
