First time running with anyone in many months. First time at the Roosevelt workout in two years. Good to be back. Three mile warmup followed by a 10- mile cutdown tempo around Green Lake. First four in 5:55 or so. Next two down to 5:35. Next two at 5:25. Couldn't manage anything better than 5:22 on the final two. Some really good stretching afterward.

2x2M @ 10:20 on 3:00 rest. Missed the rain but not the wind. Despite the breezy conditions I hit my times. It took a :73 final lap to do it.

Another Saturday morning workout at Green Lake. 6M at 5:55 then dropping to 5:32 for two miles, then 5:24 for one mile and then 5:15 for the last mile. Rainy, windy and generally nasty.

First Dempsey Indoor Workout in a year. Felt good to run out of the rain in a warm building. A so-so workout. 3x1500m. Goal time was 4:28. Coaches goal not mine. Wasn't really all that close hitting 4:34 for the first two and then 4:45 for the final one. The first two equal about a 4:54-55 mile which isn't terrible but the final one was an utter diastaer. The relatively small 2:00 rest interval probably didn't help.

As a side note, on my final repeat, i got passed by Chandler Olson who is the reigning 3200m champion among 4A girls in WA. It didn't really make me feel any better that she was only doing 400s. So to salvage some pride I jumped into one of her 400s and made sure she didn't pass me. Finished in :65. Not great but 3 or 4 seconds ahead of her. I'm already slower than my fastest boys. It's only a matter of time before my fastest girls beat me too.
