A little quiet running at the Illahee Preserve to clear my head, just some loops through the forest on a rainy morning. A few puddles but the trails weren't too mucky. As I finished a torrent unleashed. No one else around.

My left achilles is in a lot of pain right now. I've had a nagging little tendon pain on the outside of my leg, just above the ankle, and it migrated to the achilles this morning near the end of the run (actually, that made it the end of the run). Stretched, iced, we'll see. 40:35

First night at the gym for the winter season, went there instead of outside after work. It's 45, but I'm a wimp. And I wanted to shoot hoops. Ran 2.5 or so on the treadmill then ran around the court for awhile.

Reading a few other blogs I get the feeling I'm not alone in letting other parts of life dictate a fall break. Just a busy time. This morning I was in Seattle so I went out for a few miles along Lake Washington Boulevard, where the Seattle Marathon will be in a few weeks. Fun to see a lot of groups getting their long runs in, especially since I wasn't the one doing a 20-mile long run. No more marathons this year, though I'm doing a trail 12k tomorrow. 

Ran easy, restful, felt alright even though my quad is bruised pretty bad from our basketball game Thursday night. Then I went to the Y and played 21 for an hour, so a good cross-train today. No watch.
