| | Feeling pretty run-down and achy today, the cold is moving through me. Four miles easy to sweat some of it off, over the Manette Bridge and through downtown B-town, and back. Other than the sick feeling, nothing to complain about. I'm planning to join the local running club this coming Saturday for a run, so I'm trying to take some precautions and get well before then. | | Comments(2) |
| | East 11th to Shore Drive switchback. Still feeling a little crummy, but the cold has stay at bay for the most part and feels like its on the way out. Easy pace, though I stretched my legs out a bit the last 1.5 or so, pushed up the last two hills just to do it. Since I'm not really running hard days at all right now (though I'm planning for a 'workout' of sorts Thursday) I don't feel the need to keep these runs completely relaxed. | | Comments(1) |
| | YMCA loop, easy-to-medium pace. About 30 minutes. | | Add Comment |
| | Lions Park/Tracyton Beach Road to 31st Street and back. Gray, mild morning. After two miles I started in on what was a little faster than a Tinman Tempo. I held it for about two miles, but that gassed me so I called it off there. First workout in a long time, I'll build that pace up in subsequent workouts. I can tell I need the practice. Easy pace back, then added 3x100 striders to punish myself a bit for ending the tempo a mile earlier than I should have. | | Add Comment |
| | So I get up at 5:30 a.m. (too early) to drive to Port Orchard (too rainy) to meet some guys I was going to run with. But I couldn't find them (too dark? I'm too stupid?) at where I thought we were meeting and I didn't really feel like running around in the pitch dark in a unfamiliar area, so I drove home. The rain stopped then, which was the one benefit of a frustrating early wake-up. So I combined the Illahee State Park loop with the YMCA loop for 8 miles. I thought it'd be a little longer, but there's more overlap than I planned. It's a good run though, real hilly so there's a strength aspect to it. Nothing fast, but I wasn't slacking either. Now if I could just find the secret Saturday morning meeting spot. | | Comments(8) |
