Green River in Kent. About 6:00 p.m. After work I went to buy new running shoes at Road Runner. I bought the same Asics I had but just in a different color with inserts. They are so comfortable and I love them! It was very hot out! I packed near the Green River golf course and started out near the river running on the golf green side of the river. I went all the way but past the bridge that we'd usually cross and to the next street where I had to jump the rail and run across the street to get to the other side of the river. Then I ran back to where I parked, just on opposite side of the river. I had to run a little bit past the cars under the bridge to a fishing pond area and back to get the full 7 miles but it was almost right on with my route I did! Some people walking or walking dog. I had to avoid the flood blockers but wasn't too bad. I managed. I felt good after this run even though I was so hot and had to mentally keep going; the endurance was there though; just hot out. Drank lots of fluids afterewards. Happy for my mid week 7 miles!
