I ran up to the Daybreak Lake about 2.3 miles and then did a 3.1 mile tempo run with 5:44 pace. Then a couple of miles and then a 1 mile tempo with some downhill to help push me in 5:14. Then a couple of mile cool down. A total of 1:04 for 10 miles. Finished at 10 pm.

I went up behind the Capital after work and started at the base of the canyon and ran up it 3.5 miles and about 1000' of elevation. Then as I turned around I saw a lady biking up the road and was swerving all over. She got up to me and was mumbling and incoherent but was pointing to the side of the road in the bushes so I thought maybe it was a Mountain lion or something. As I was looking to the right and running down the road I heard a hissing noise and looked down and right as my foot hit the road I was about 2' away from a rattler. He didnt coil up but I froze and backed away and around him. I have encountered enough of these pesky snakes. Im sick of these damn snakes on this damn trail. I really hate snakes, I cringe and get the body shivers.

I got another invite to run with Carinas group.  I must have minded my p's and q's enough to be able to do it. lol They met at Thanksgiving Point and we ran from the parking lot on the similar course as the half marathon. we went out to the Gardens and came to a dead end and then came back and found a road to the park trail and ran the rest on it and on the way back jumped the fence by the golf course and back to the parking lot. Very fun. Carina reminded me of my comment to her that i would like to run 1 to 2 miles of tempo and didnt do it so on the way home it festered in my head till I decided to just do it. I went to the Daybreak lake and while I was getting out of the car, Danielle bumped into me! She was on mile 2 of 10 and asked if Id run with her so I ended up doing 8 more miles with her. A total of 17. Fun day, nice and freakin warm. The way W likes it!
