All about that pace.

Fun times with 30 other soggy runners on the Point Defiance trails.

3:16:00 on the treadmill at an easy 9:30 pace. I knocked out the first 4 episodes of House of Cards. It was good enough to keep watching, but not as good as Breaking Bad. The rest of season one and two should get me through the rest of my long runs before Boston at 4 episodes per week.

No pain in my foot or ankle today. I think what ever that was has passed.

Across the park and up Farwest hill after work @ 7:22 avg.

6:30pm

If it was raining any harder I would have needed scuba gear.

7:38 avg.

Easy lap around Oakbrook after work. 7:35 avg.

Farwest hill route after work. The sun was out and it was 60° when I left and within the hour it dipped under 50. Brrr.

8:00am

10 easy with the Fleetfeet group. Nailed the goal this week!

8:38avg.

8:00am

13 easy, muddy miles at Point Defiance. Looking forward to some climate control tomorrow on the TM.

3:20:00 on the TM at 9:00 pace. Dang!! That is all,.

Farwest Hill @7:30

Farwest hill and Oakbrook loop in my new Brooks.

Ran to PLU before work to pick up Kym's car so she could sleep in. We left it there last night when I picked her up to go to the Trail Running film festival.

Easy run in sideways rain, 7:57 avg

I volunteered instead of racing this morning and then ran 11 easy on the trails after the race.

Sloppy trails and fun friends at Point Defiance.

6:30am 19.4 on the TM @8:00 min pace before they closed the fitness center for a class. I'll need to run faster to get 20 in before they kick me out next week.

2:30pm The sun was out and I felt a little shortchanged on my TM run so I went for a quick 5 around Oakbrook. 6:55 avg.

Just a quick 5 after work to blow off some steam before the annual condo association meeting tonight. We have some great people on our board and in our community, and some... well, not so much.

Wicked headwind on the way out!

Not so fast this morning after so many miles this week. I ran the course a second time with Choi, looking for a racer that started and didn't finish. We never did find him. I hope he just decided to go for a long run or something... 

12 miles on the trails in the sunshine!!!

This run was a chore. The wind was in my face the whole way and just wouldn't let up. It made me miss the TM.

Easy 8 before work. 5 more after work.

Managed to get in a few miles between rainshowers after work.

7:36 avg.

12 after work and managed to avoid the rain again.

7:35 avg

Ten soggy windy miles with the Fleetfeet group.

9 easy miles.

Beautiful day for a run!! I did a lap around Waughop Lake, Gravelly Lake and Oakbrook. Not very fast, but i felt great the whole way and could probably do 10 more at the same pace. I think I'm going to take tomorrow off and try to pick up the pace for a couple 8-10 milers later in the week. No more than 50 total this week.
