Green River Trail. First run back in about 2 weeks due to a rolled ankle that has been bothering me. It feels fine now and didn't seem to bother me during the run. Dad came up with me to visit from CA and got to finally meet my running buddies. Lisa and Nicole did great on their run with us. We had such a great work out despite the light mist of rain. It did feel humid on the trail too. We ran along the trail that diddn't have the sand bags on it. Felt kind of tired; could tell I was out of shape. Felt so good to get back into! Maybe I still have a chance for that Marathon in Portland in Oct!!
TT: 46:36 min. I forgot to wear my forerunning but Nicole had hers |

Game Farm Park. Went for another run after work. So happy ankle has been feeling fine; just about back to normal. Nice day for a run. Took advantage of the weather since Fri would be bad weather. Start time: about 5 p.m. Felt fine during run but still can tell my body is trying to get back in shape. I ran slow today as to try not to injure myself.

Roegner Park. My first long run in about 2-3 weeks. It felt good getting back into it. Met up with my friend Loan and we ran together for the first time. I was just wanting to run somewhere between 6-8 miles so my goal was good. No trouble with ankle. Slight pain in L knee but only for a very short time. This girl is so fast! She really kept me going on a faster but steady pace. I hope I didn't over do myself with the run today. Dang! This girl has lots of potential; she could have ran even faster. She is running a race next Sat at Point Defiance. She got me out of my comfort zone. I was able to do it but was tough! I just gave it everything to keep up with her. She sprinted at the end. I just had a little energy to run/sprint.

Emerald Queen Casino. Met up with Lisa and Nicole and we just walked about a mile and a half. Both Lisa and I were not up to running. Lisa's pregnancy and me just having a cold. It was fun to walk around the neighborhood even though a little sketchy. Just nice to catch up and talk. We were going to apply for wheel of fortune but missed the first showing and didn't want to wait an hr for the next so we went to Red Robin:) Too bad we missed the chance but with that many people not too likely. Red Robin for Nicole's bday was fun. Justin came and met up with us.

BPA trail. Met up with Nicole and Lisa. Lisa is really showing during her pregnancy. She just decided to walk and meet up with us on the way back. Nicole and I ran together. I must have not pushed my Forerunner all the way down because I didn't get the total mileage or mile marks, etc. I got info from Nicole. Nice warm day for a run. I am still sick so it was hard to run and plus I took a week off (was in NE). It helped to have someone to run by to keep me going. GO NICOLE! IT was fun meeting up with Lisa too on the way back. Usual route: there and back-3.74 miles. Yeah to me for completing it!. Did have some inside L knee pain slightly after run when I walking around. It went away though. Hopefully nothing...

Green Lake. 5:30 p.m. I really was looking forward to running around Green Lake in Seattle. It worked great this time because I worked in Seattle, Capital Hill. I walked in once with a friend and realized how beautiful it really was. Lots of runners around Lake. I like how there is a gravel area to run on versus pavement. Loop around Lake is about 2.8 miles. I ran one loop plus some. I ran past start point until forerunner read 3.5 mile then turned around. Even though still sick, I felt a lot better than I did Tues. I wasn't coughing at all and felt energized considering I didn't get much sleep. It was just an inspiring run and fun to run somewhere new. It was also motivating to see so many other runners out there. Gotta run here with the girls sometime. Felt good, no pain. Cool temp. No rain.

Roegner Park. Ran solo this time; had to run early to make it before leaving to Seattle on an Alaskan cruise. Plus today is Father's Day. Felt pretty good but was tried/sore most of the day. Ran at about 8:00 a.m. It was poor weather; rainny and cloudy. :( It was invigorating though. Ran usual route there and back plus 2 extra loop once.

Took a nice slow route since it was a long distance run. Sporatic on some miles. Overall no problems and felt happy to be finished for today. |

Alaskan Cruise. My first run out on the Seas :) Yeah Pacfic ocean cruise to Alaska out of Seattle!!! I ran sometime in the afternoon. My GPS didn't work due to the moving cruise line or maybe the ledge covering the sky that I ran under....not too sure, but kept loosing reception. I was only able to time myself:( I know I ran 4 miles though-12 laps around the 3rd Deck of Holland America. 3 laps=1 mile. I felt fairly good. Ran some of it with Nick's brother Dustin. (only about 1 mile though or less). It was just fun to run around the boat and see the ocean as I ran by. How inspiring! It was a tricky run though, dodging walkers in my way.

Alaskan Cruise. Holland America. 10:30a.m. Bad, rainny weather. I had to run indoors due to wind and rain blowing, plus the deck may have been slippery. Ran on treadmill for about 4 miles. It was very hard to run on treadmill in the gym on 9th floor. I hate running indoors. It was difficult for me and I had a tough time completing my 4 miles. It was also hot indoors, very sweaty. Very tired!
TT: 38:52 min. Avg: 9:50 pace start, then went faster to about 8:70 ish per mile. I had a slight incline for some of the time. |

Alaskan Cruise. Holland America cruise. Ran about noon. There was a walk a thon going on for breast cancer. I waited until they were about done before I ran. It would be almost impossible to dodge all of them. On this run I pretty much followed 2 other girls running for the beginning and was able to get past some of the walkers, following their lead. This was my long run so I was happy for fabulous weather today and nice skies. It was neat to see so many people out exercising on 3rd deck. I ran 27 laps around the ship!!!! 9 miles:) very proud of myself. It wasn't too terrible. I think on lap 18 I had the most energy and got a runners high, however the last 2 miles was very hard!

Early morning run; it's been awhile. Just after the crack of dawn. It is nice it is light out that early. Unfortunetly the ARSHS track was all torn up to my surprise-under renovation as of June1 so I have no idea when it will be up and running:( Ran around the HS and then back on side of track on grass; 1 loop around HS + grass loop is a little over one mile. I did that 3 times. Felt sore due to softball game on Sunday. Muslces were tight; hard run. Have to figure out where I will run in the mornings now...:( Happy to be up early though and have the run out the of the way for the rest of the day:)

Game Farm Park. It was so nice to run at Game Farm because it has been quite awhile since I've been there. I just love this park! I think it's my fav! Unfortunetly very tired and felt lack of endurance. Pushed to get 4 miles done. It was a beautiful day though; perfect weather and the sun in shinnning! Slight pain in R ankle but nothing to really worry about at all. Ran about 7:00 a.m. No work today because leave for Paradise for the 4th!
