Tried a new location. Ran along the plowed fields behind B.V. school. Very beautiful back there but one problem: puddles of water. It was sunny out and clear skies so I could see Mt. Rainier perfectly. A few people walking their dogs out there. A full loop is about 2 miles so I love the distance on the grassy trail. But to be honest the puddles of water really sucked! I got my socks and shoes just soaking wet and muddy. I just have to watch the weather and not go on days that it rains the day before. Summer time would be perfect to run back here!!!

Felt tired and sore from snowboarding. Felt like my pace were slower. I think it was also slower trying to dodge the puddles of water and slightly uneven surfact/grassy, harder to run on but better for knees! Was bummed I didn't do 5 miles where I should have been. I as switching my long runs to middle of the week. So my mileage should be semi high on Sundays but not my longest run.

TT: 42:10 min.     Cal: 423      Avg mile: 9:21 min    Max: 7:15 min

Paces: 8:54, 9:17, 9:32, 9:33, 9:36    Not happy with my times getting slower:(

It was just a hard run for me today even though another goregous day.

Game Farm Park. Start work later so was able to run at 7:30 a.m. as it is kinda light :) Felt kinda sore still from snowboarding but good run, just had to push to run in a decent time. Also pushed for the last mile. I couldn't remember if I was suppost to be running 3 miles or 4 so I just ran for since i was a little short on Sunday.

Roegner Park. Anticipated long run but excited to accomplish it! Met up with Nicole. (her last run before 1/2 marathon). We had a nice run together talking the whole time. Felt pretty good most all the way. She ran the first 5 ish miles with me then I ran the last 3. It helped a lot to have her to help pass alot of the mileage. It was tough doing those last 2-3 miles but i did it! Legs definetly feeling it last 2 miles. It was a push to finish. Ran reg. route with extra loop and then reg route again, plus part of extra loop. (pretty much there and back twice!) Following my garmin I completed 8 miles!!

TT: 1:15:22 (yeah passed that one hr!!)    HR before: 81  HR after: 153

Avg: 9:24 min  153 bpm     Max: 6:46 min  167 bpm

Paces: 9:43, 9:29, 9:19, 9:11, 9:26, 9:03, 9:23, 9:39, 9:07
