5:00am Matthew 26 - Mark 12 It felt good to get back to my regular route on this foggy morning. I love running through Steilacoom Park when it's like this.
My quads didn't complain at all until the second trip up Farwest hill at about 8 miles so I think I can knock out a fast 5k on Saturday before they even know what hit 'em :)
My legs had a lot of spring in them on the flats and downhill stuff. The uphill sections didn't come as easy, but they were still much better than Tuesday. I'm excited to crank it up a notch after another day of rest!

11.66 6:30 6:30pm Thursday night Pub Run with the Tacoma Runners. This is the first time I've ran with this group since last winter when it snowed and I spiked my asics with sheet metal screws. Today was a LOT warmer and uphill both ways. The run started and ended at the Parkway Bar and Grill in North Tacoma this week. There was probably 80-100 people there tonight and I followed the leaders just close enough to keep them in sight so I wouldn't get lost on the route. I don't think I could have run much faster this late in the day with the heat and having 11 miles in already this morning. With another day of rest and a little race day excitement I might be able to muster up a 6:05 average pace for 5k. We'll see soon enough... Distance Split pace
