Where's the Donuts?

Late night at work last night, so I'm hustling to get to the office on time this morning. The Shore Drive run, abbrieviated. 22:00

Cougar Mountain trail run with Krissy and Justin Engle. I took the morning off to meet these guys, I hadn't been to Cougar in awhile. We did a shorter loop to accomodate schedules, which I thought was a good idea since I'm still working back into some shape. But I felt pretty strong throughout, which was encouraging since we ran at an honest clip on the uphill portions. It was a great mid-week run, I can probably call myself a runner again.

Eight's a guess since it wasn't the loop I'm used to. A little over an hour on my new watch.

Quick evening run before Quiz Night at the Manette, I cut it a little short so I'd be there on time. Warm evening, my legs were a little tired from Wednesday's run. YMCA loop, which is a bit hilly so the pace it a little slower. 31:09

I decided to run a trail half marathon tomorrow up in Port Gamble, so I took it easy this morning. Gray, cool start to the day with the marine layer hanging around, which was nice and comfortable. I ran alone, started slow but worked into a decent, smooth pace. I have a thought in my head to run the Bellingham marathon in six weeks so I spent the run doing the training math. I'll see how tomorrow goes, and then do a road half on Labor Day to gauge my fitness and see if a quality marathon in September is realistic. Part of me says it is, because I had a good early season base before my mid-summer break. The other part says 'you better cram some workouts and 20+ runs in to the next month, or you're a dead man.' Both are probably kind of right, I just need to find where the truth lies and see if I'm up for it. 

Anyone have thoughts on whether six weeks is enough time? Any advice on where to focus? I'm not way out of shape, but I got a little rusty after going to Kenya and it's been slow going to get back in shape.
