Today will be a very long day. Since the last thing I will feel like doing when I get home at 4pm PST is go for a run, i decided to wake up super early before my flight from Hamburg to Seattle. 12 miles of laps through the airport at 3:30am Hamburg time. Can't wait to get back to sunny, warm Seattle.

Sooooo good to be back home. The day kind of got away from me so didn't start my run until late which gave me limited time. I was expecting a bit of a jet lag lethargy when running today but there wasn't any.

Another gorgeous and mild winter day, almost perfect for a speed workout on the track. Headed to Redmond HS which is an automatic 4 mile warmup. The workout was mile repeats...four of them on two minutes rest at 5:00-5:02 pace. I was admitedly worried about being able to hit those times, but despite a bit of a wind, was able to go 4:59, 4:59, 4:59, 4:58. I probably could have done another but was plenty happy to stop at four.

I know I sound like a broken record, but the weather continues to be insanely nice. 62 degrees with not even a cloud in the sky...and it's still February. So I took off in my sunglasses and short-sleeved shirt and headed out for a wonderful run this afternoon.

A chilly, but beautiful morning run from home this morning. Cloudless sunrise.

Another chilly but beautiful morning for a run. Got started around six ahead of the sunrise and headed for the Mt Si track for a mid run workout. 5M@ 5:16 pace. Hit 5:17 on the first one, then 5:16. 5:16. 5:14 and finished strong with a 5:08. Then a 10 minute jog followed by 5x150m hard. Then finished up with 8+ miles to notch my first 20-mile run on way too long.
