A unique run late this afternoon after work. Ran from work but went south this time crossing over into West Seattle toward Alki beach. Went 5 miles out then back again. At my turnaround point, I looked across Elliott Bay and saw a stunning view of downtown Seattle in the dark. It was a view from the west that I hadn't seen in several years. On the way back, did 10 45-second strides. Got some good leg turnover.

Ran from Eastgate Park and Ride across the I-90 bridge and back again using the really nice I-90 bike trail. Wasn't too crowded because it was after the main part of the bike commute. The only bad part was coming back across the bridge against traffic as the remaining gravel used to sand the roads from our T-Giving snowstorm was getting kicked up into my face. But all in all, a great run on a beautiful morning.

Short tempo run this morning. Four mile warmup followed byt 3M@ 5-10 seconds slower than 10k pace...whatever that is. I basically just went out and ran them as fast as I could but still under control. Things went better than I though they would. Hit 5:16, 5:13, 5:11. Took a 60-second rest and then did one more mile at 5:10.
