Redondo Beach in Federal Way. Tried out a new spot. I was going to run with a friend at work but didn't work out for her this eve. Ran solo but it was very hot! I was sweating as I ran along the dock at Redondo. It was probably high 70s I think. I ran to the end of the dock and then up a steep hill (painful) then did a loop in a neighborhood, then back down to the start of the dock, then back out again to the end of the dock and back to the start. Then there was a little distance left so I ran past my car, near the park, and up another neighborhood. Confusing, but just exploring the area. It was okay but not my fav place to run due to the dock being so short. I love the area though! Being so close to the water! Lots of people out walking or scuba diving. No pain in ankles or knees:) Felt good except the heat.

Roegner Park. 6:50 a.m. Nicely lite along trail. Weather was comfortable; not early morning chilliness. Only saw one guy out running on the trail. Felt fairly good. Did the usual out and back route + extra area at end once, then back out but not quite all the way back. Stopped just a little before the bridge. Time stopped then. I walked/ran the rest of the back to save on time. L upper shin slightly bothersome but do able. No ankle pain.

TT: 1:03:34                            Avg: 9:05 min.                      Max: 6:08 min.

Splits: 9:06, 9:12, 9:07, 9:18, 9:09, 8:59, 8:45 (very happy with my pace and strength at the end)!

Benson Beach, Cape Disappointment state campground, North of Astoria and Columbia River, right near the ocean. Ran on the beach for the 1st time in a long time. Ran where the trail enters beach, L as far as I could run, until the coast guard guy told me I couldn't go past a certain spot. Lameness! I ran to this orange rope thing and all the way to the other side of beach; as far as I could go (to the rock) and then back out to the L to the orange rope and back to the rock, then to where the trail enters beach. Ran at about 8:52 a.m. It was hard running on the beach; a little hard on the feet and ankles. My R toe creese and foot hurt some but just getting used to running on the sand. No major problems. The time went by fast by just having such a GOREGOUS scenary with the waves crashing on the beach. People out fishing in the water, people with dogs, and people walking. Loved the new area to run at! Misty but cleared up shortly after.

TT: 35:28                                      Avg: 8:52 min                               Max: 6:36 min.

Splits: 8:30, 9:04, 8:48, 9:05    (times vary as I was dodging some of the waves washing up on the shore when I ran super close to the water)
