Roegner Park. 8:00 a.m. Met up with Lisa there and we ran together. She has been having some foot problems so trying out new shoes but foot still bothersome for her. She did alittle over 3 miles with me. She di well though. It was rainning on my drive over so I figured it wouldn't be that cold but my hands were bothering me the whole time. After Lisa ran her 3+ miles I should have grabbed my gloves in the car. My hands felt so cold I could barely bend them. I kept putting them on my stomach while running to warm them up. I was probably running faster so I could done sooner and warm my hands. Run was pretty good. I saw people playing disc golf and some walking. After my run, I couldn't even turn the key to get in my car. I had to wait a bit. Yikes! Happy to have accomplished my longer run!!!

Game Farm Park. Early morning. Again, it didn't feel that cold but when I was running I noticed small flakes of snow. I guess it was lightly snowing when I was running. I still felt warm enough though. I had to scrape frost of my windshields and also wear gloves but I still had a good run. It was a little darker than normal at the park, kinda scary without my headlight hat. All went well though; only saw worker there. Ran 3 regular laps again=3 miles.

Game Farm Park. Early a.m. Only person I saw was maintenance guy. Dark but some lights. Felt pretty good this morning. It was sprinkling when I started but started to rain harder as I kept running. On mile 2 it started to come down a little more steady. My legs/hips area felt a little tight. Slight pain on both sides but nothing too much. Did 3 laps but area on last loop was flooded so I did a little detour on the area near the baseball cage and ran near the street out and back.

BPA Trail. 8:00 a.m. Met up with Lisa in Federal Way. It has been a long time since we had ran at the BPA trail so Lisa suggested it. Weather was good due to no rain. We were lucky because most of the weekend it did rain. It was just cloudy but weather was fine. We ran regular route, almost to the aquatics center but not quite and turned around. Lisa wanted to just run about 3 miles. Then she took of and I did one more route all the way to aquatics center and turned around. This 2nd time was a lot harder and those hills were tough but I kept running. I counted about 6 hills maybe. 1 hill was the largests more near end of route before turn around spot. I felt fairly good, since I had gotten fairly more sleep last night. The only area was tight was the muscle right above my hamstrings, just below my butt on the L side. Just some slight pain there, odd. I did the whole run without music. I just enjoyed Gods nature.
