| | Mid-day run on the holiday, my brother is in town and we didn't have any adventure planned so we drove up to the OPG forest in North Kitsap. There's a race there that I'm on the fence about running next weekend, so it couldn't hurt to check out the trails a bit. We parked on Stottlemeyer Road and took the southern entrance, cut through a few trails up to that western plateau and kind of got lost on a dead-end logging road. That was one of two dead-ends on the day, so we found our adventure. Other than that a really pleasant afternoon, sun waited until we finished to come out and we did find some nice trails that connected through, and ran on the forest roads a bunch. We were out there 70 minutes, at probably an 8:30 or 9 minute mile pace. Timm's about that speed, and without many climbs we kept it consistent. Good easy miles for me, I needed something like that to loosen up and relax the legs. Saturday's run was more of a pounding than I thought, and I'd like to run a little tempo tomorrow.

Beautiful sunny morning, and an easy run out Tracyton Beach Road to the usual turnaround. Legs were real sluggish to get going and I never did find a good rhythm. Still kept about a 7:30 pace. Kind of pushed the pace a little up the hills on the return so I didn't feel like I was running in superglue. Some muscle pain in my left hip and right hamstring, pulling me back a little. Oh well. 1:00:21 supernova glide -- 288

| | a.m.: I was due at an early morning appointment (speaking to a group of 50 elementary school kids about the newspaper; I killed) so I got four quick miles in after the sun came up. Gorgeous morning, legs a little sluggish though. No big deal, easy run. 30:25 p.m.: Track practice with Dina, who is trying to qualify for junior nationals Saturday. We warmed up, did some drills and strides, and cooled down. About three miles, but not consistently. Hot out though, heat wave in Washington!

| | Slug run w/Henry and Mike, it had been awhile since we got together. Perfect morning, we weren't real ambitious but still did 10 on the Beach Drive route. Kept a fairly even pace, even into a slight wind on the way back. Just two miles under 7, the rest between 7:10 and 7:25. Everyone was a little sluggish for some reason, and my hamstrings are really tight. 1:12:36
