Can't believe how lazy I am once it started getting colder. I run 2 miles, stop to do some exercises, then walk home. I think I need a break anyways, since I was kicking butt all year until October. 

When I returned to the states in June via Vegas I visited Eugene, OR, now I live there! Life is a dream...

I seem to be running in the future here - I accidentally placed Wednesday's run in Thurday's box, so Thursday's run goes into Friday's box - no worries, when I take a day off things will even out :)

How much easier it is to run when the sun is out and it is 55 degrees! I learned when in Asia that I love 95 and humid everyday, I can run in that forever - the muscles bake and the bones soften and the skin glistens with sweat. Whole lot better than 5 layers and snot dribbling down my cheeks. 

Ran 5 miles on the Amazon/rexius trail with the final 7 minutes run at fast speed. If it rains tomorrow I will take a day off.

Lazy, lazy, lazy! Ran 1/2 mile to park and ran a few fast loops on the 400m dirt circle. Did pull ups after each loop. Walked to Albertson's after to get groceries. Lazy lazy lazy!

5 miles on the Amazon/Rexius Trail. A bit of misty rain was falling, and sometimes the sun peaked out. Ran toward a large rainbow at the end of the run - 3 black crows swooped under the rainbow - cawww!! Not too cold, around 50. Did some monkey bar exercises after and then walked to Market of Choice and Sunrise Asian to buy some food. As I reached the exit of Market of Choice a group of people were hesitating because the rain was coming down hard. I put my paper bag full of groceries down and readjusted my grip and an employee nearby asked if I wanted a piece of plastic covering for the bag. I gladly accepted, tipped him a dollar, and happily walked the wet mile home.

Ran to the park and did a few fast laps around the dirt track, stopping after each loop to do pullups and pushups. Walked to the grocery store after and bought some food. Sunny and moderate - beautiful day!

Ran the Amazon/Rexius trail at a hard pace. Spencer Butte was impressively dark and moody today. After did monkey bar exercises then stopped at Sunshine to get $2 sushi and rice pockets and coconut water for lunch.

Got up at 5:40, meditated for 30 minutes, then went for a run on the Amazon/Rexius Trail as the sun was rising - fog and gray colors everywhere, very beautiful. Did some exercises, bought food at the market, then walked home.

Surprising motivation and energy today. Raining, but it felt refreshing and fun to be sloshing around the Amazon/Rexius trail. Did some exercises then walked to the market. Fun day.
