BPA trail in Federal Way. Time: about 48 min. Distance: 5 miles. Cold but not too bad. All 3 of us ran together again! Great run! Felt semi tired from being up late; but was able to take most of the hills. Celebration for Lisa's Bday after at Black Bear Diner!

Game Farm park. Very yucky weather; steady mist. Wore the wrong type of long sleeve shirt-cotton. Felt weighed down and tired. But sort of invigorating to run in the rain. Time: 25:15 min. About 3 miles. Felt okay.

Auburn Riverside HS. Yucky weather; rainning out there. Wasn't sure how heavy it was until I was drivimg there but didn't want to miss another day without running. Felt very tired and my lungs difficult to breath. Felt not in shape. Only 2.5 miles this time. Rain slowed me down some but wore the right clothes. Time: 22:48 min.

Game Farm Park. Anticipated crapy run due to unprepared dress for light-mod rain. After first lap, rain stopped but stepped in huge puddle and got socks completely drenched! YUCK! Usual laps-3. Passed mid aged man with furocious sounding dog. Lights but kinda dark. Felt okay-tired. Time: 25:36 min.

Roegner Park. Lisa and I met there. Light rain, didn't look to great at start but the rain stopped after about 5 min. Wasn't bad at all. We both felt more stiff or jelly in legs. Not the best run but felt good afterwards; felt good to just get out there. Tired but good run! Time: 32:54 min.

Auburn Riverside HS. Tired again due to staying up late. Beautiful clear morning for running! No rain! I pushed myself on the 8th lap and did a speed run. It was SO hard to run fast! Then I had to run a whole other mile after I had just done a speed lap. Great work out but a tough one. I felt out of breath. Time: 25:52 min.

Run with Lisa and Nicole near Lisa's home in Kent. We met at a community church and ran up a steep hill. Then we just ran around all the different neighborhoods. It was a good work out and again wonderful to run with others. It was great to have us all back together. Nicole's shins seemsed to be okay. Slight pain in L knee but nothing really worrisome right now. Will keep working on stretches more dilligently. Felt pretty energetic. Time: about 35 min.

Beautiful day to run! Goregous! Ran just from my home to Hemlock Rd then to a little park, then regular loop, back to park, then home. Felt good, no prob with knee. Not quite enough energy to do a second loop though. Time: 25 min.

Very Fogy!!! It was hard to see the road and also the track. Due to the fog I got my clothes damp and water on my face. Ran at A.RS.HS.  Did some speed work on the 9th lap. Time: 25:57 min. 12 laps. Good run. Felt bright and cheery for an early early morning run. I got enough sleep so that helped!

No work today so went for a nice run at Roegner Park. Cloudy and fairly cold but fine for running. Felt exhausted though (prob. due to eating late last night). Ran regular route; to disc golf and back. Didn't have enough energy to do last extra loop at end of route. Happy with time though: 30: 48 min.  Ran at around 9:30 a.m.

Game Farm Park. Went there to watch the football tournament; been wanting to get on a flag football team. I concluded that there were just all guys playing and they didn't look short on players:( bummer!

Had a nice run. Did the full loop, including on dirt path. Did 3 laps. Weather cloudy but no rain. Lots of people around. Greaty work out! Felt strong with run. No pains anywhere in legs. Time was about 35 min. Not sure on exact mileage. About 4 miles +.
