Back in Seattle under cool skies and plentiful oxygen. Nice run along the Sammamish River.

First workout in a while. It was a fartlek of 5x 4min ON followed by 2 minutes OFF. The ON was supposed to be around 10k pace. It felt more like walking pace.

Still feel pretty sluggish. It was quite warm during my run...81 degrees which probably didn't help.

Nike sent me a pair of shoes to test. It's their next version of the Vomero. Incredibly soft and very light. I'm going to try them out for a week or two and see if they provide enough pronation support. Felt like I was running on pillows today.

Felt a little better this morning running under beautiful skies and cool morning temps. Still a few pounds heavy after all the traveling, vacation, and time off.

Beautiful morning ahead of what will be a scorching summer day. Still heavy but feeling a bit better with each day I'm back in the swing of things.

Today was my first track workout in what seems like months. 3.5 warmup miles with a few from the new Mt. Si Running Club I formed a couple of months ago. Then hit the track for 6x1000m with the goal of hitting 3:05s on two minutes rest. With the exception of a 3:04 and a 3:06, everything was exactly at 3:05. 3:05 isn't patticularly fast but I wasn't sure going in whether I would be able to hit it or not so I walked away happy to have done so.
