am 17.0 mi after lazing in bed till 9 finally get out on the road feeling it was already starting to warm up not really sure how far i wanted to go knew i had to have hills was craving them starting down redwood finding a good pace east on 126th through the river bottoms feeling the heat looking at the sparse clouds hoping for more lol up to state then deciding on 106th south with its step up hills for a good workout up and up to 13th east into the construction zone got some off road trail/sand running in which was nice by the time i got back south to 123rd there was some cloud cover (my wish coming true ) a slight breeze which was nice too back west to 13th west north to 114th to redwood and home good strong work out had to will myself through the heat had taken its toll but very rewarding 

am 5.3 miles up with the cool morning and out to get things going very refreshing morning before work

pm 14.8 was not planning on going that far set out on a different route north on redwood to 90th south east to 5th west follow the sandy parkway over to 123rd and west to 13th west over to 114th and redwood and back home was feeling good through the whole workout 

am 5.1 brisk morning feeling good even after yesterdays longer one seems to be cooling off all the way around thoughts of oregon running through my head hood to coast only a few days away

pm11.2 stretch it out at a slow methodical pace wanting to warm everything nice and easy hitting a good pace deep breathing and everything working together

am 5.3 miles feeling good getting ready for a weekend of running fun at the hood to coast relay not much time for evening running packing and everything

am 5 miles quick one before shower and on the road loosen the legs and body up going to be a long driving day 

pm 4 miles easy with molly and adri getting things un tangled after 700+ miles on the road

am 5 miles not running my first leg (#10) till 5 or so tonight out to get the jitters shook still thinking going to run this more as some faster training runs than trying to fire it up and be sore the rest lol

pm 6.2 first run of hood to coast feeling good not too tired given that i have not really let up much on training running strong yet not overdoing it the change in elevation is very evident recovered really quickly

am 6.8 early (3 am) run not much sleep maybe 1 1/2 hours driving riding and running almost non stop for 20 hours now doesnt help but feels good to be out getting some work in cold can see my breath the first 2 miles were up hill then winding fairly fast downhill passing a lot of people made me feel better until some one blurred past me wow there are some really fast runners here

pm 4.1 miles my last leg of the race tired and hungry sleep deprived and all have one last run to get up for legs worn and a bit stiff  from not enough stretching and warm up /warm down time hurrying from one exchange to the next not much rest just want to make a good show the last time out fairly easy leg a couple hills but not bad 

all in all a great time meeting so many new people and getting to know my team mates much better what an amazing time all around
