Enumclaw, WA. Met at Starbucks. I rode with my church friend, Angela, from her home to Enumclaw Starbucks. We had a misunderstanding that we were suppost to meet at her friend June's house. However, it was just us 3. People meet at 7 p.m. who want to go further miles but the other group meets at 8 p.m. So we ran 4+ miles then we stopped at the Starbucks and waiting for the rest of the group to join us. We first ran around the surrouding neighborhoods in that area and on a bike trail and back. When the other girls joined us we ran out more on farm land roads and part on the bike trail. A loop basically. There were about 8 of us there. Great run but on the 8th mile my L leg started to tighten and I could tell if I ran too much further I would have some leg problems. We ran with the whole group some of the time but probably about the last 2 miles I ran with just Angela. It is neat because we were about the same speed. I even felt she pushed me a little bit. Both of us were done though and her leg kinda hurt. We were done when we could see the starbucks so we just walked the rest of the way. I felt decently good most the time. I ate some fruit and toast before the run.

TT: 1:26:42 Avg: 9:15 min. Max: 8:03 min.

Splits: 9:37, 9:18, 8:59, 9:01, 9:21, 9:15, 9:13, 9:18, 9:07, 9:26 (There was about a 5 min. break on about mile 4+) Then we ran the 2nd half.

Alki Beach. 5:30 p.m. I worked in West Seattle so I decided to try a new place to run that had lights. It was misty rainning but luckily not heavy. I got some salt water on my face while running and had to keep wiping off the mist. I was so upset this morning when I realized I forgot my Garmin Forerunner! I had to estimate my run. Parked near a small park and ran from there-Marine St. to Alki beach street (made a right) ran all the way to a building where you rent Kayaks, not quite to Saltys. I felt very good! I just wanted to know how far and what my pace was.

TT: about 40 min.

I think I ran a total of 5 miles. Somewhere from 4.8-5 miles I believe.
