47 degrees under clear starry skies this morning. It was a fantastic morning for a run although I felt very lethargic. Too much eating this weekend. 

8.5 more this evening. First late night run in a long time and first back to back dark runs since Hood to Coast.

A very long day today. Woke up at 4:00 to catch a 6:00am flight to SFO for a full day of meetings. Caught the 5:30 back to Seattle getting home at 8:30. Put the kids down, and then went for a run. Looking forward to sleeping in.

My first workout with the team in quite some time. Green Lake is a great place to run. We used the dirt track across the street from the main park area.

The workout was 6x800m @ 2:18 with 2 minutes rest. It was way harder than I thought it should have been. the first five were in 2:20s and the final one, which I did simply to complete the workout, was in a pitiful 2:25. My coach tried to remind me that I was a) running on dirt and b) running on a yard track instead of a meter track which meant I was running an extra 804.5 meters not 800. That didn't seem to console me much. Oh well. At least I am healthy.

Very windy today. Sustained winds of 15-20 with gusts near 40. Great day for a workout. After a warmup, I hit the track for 3M @5:04 (hit 5:04, 5:04, 5:01) followed by 1 minute rest and then a mile all out. The all-out mile came in at 4:57. I was pretty spent after that. I was pretty happy with how the workout went especially after all the Halloween sugar the night before.
