Long run at the Landing in Renton. We left Portland Sat. night versus Sunday a.m. It just worked better and I was able to get my long run in with a group! We ran along the lake this time. I got to get to know the other store worker for the Balanced Athlete-Kory, we was very nic but could only run 4 miles due to his knee problems  I ran with a pack of about 4 but ended up being just me a Kelly for the longer distance. He runs a slower pace than I do but I enjoyed having the company and didn't want to overdue myself for a long run. We ended up running about 19 miles. It wasn't quite accurate becuase I programed my garmin for 17 and had the add the last bit by stopping it and restarting it. We ran all the way to Belluvue, Braven (sp?) shopping square and back. We walked some and rested when we got the the shopping area. I took some energy block shots by Cliff and drank all my water plus refilled. It was a tough run the last 5 miles. We were both spent, esp. Kelly wanted to walk a lot more and slow the pace down.

Clark's Creek in Puyallup. Followed Kori down to the woodsy running trail. We ran the out and back loop, with the steep hill, and then the loop. I ran that 3 times. I ran most of the way up the steep hill twice but the 3rd time I did lots of walk/run. Definetly a work out every time I do that. Kori's dad and stepmom, Kendra were out there running as well. I ran 4 miles. Felt pretty good but my leg was hard to get moving because I iced it before; prob not the best idea. I should ice it afterwards...lol Slightly sore from run yesturday. Kori did better this time picking up her speed and doing an extra out and back.

BPA Trail. Met up with Nicole since she was around this area getting her team ready for Hood to Coast. It was rather hot today and it was a tough tough run for both of us. The heat got us and the not used to running on the hills was hard. We started out running back behind soccer fields on shaded back trail to BPA trail and then usual route and back. Then cut back through shaded trail. Nicole had to split at soccer fields to meet team but I kept running out and back thru shaded areas. I explored the trail that goes to softball fields, used the restroom than ran a little more. Felt slightly better at end of run but I didn't have it in me to complete my 8 miles I was going for. I just was on a time crunch today as well. No noticable pain today in legs though:)

Vancouver, WA. 7:02 a.m. Visiting Jared and Constance on the way down to CA. Ran from their home out to street, turned R and then got on a bike path-paved-R along the free way and across a bridge that went over hwy 205. Went 2.5 miles and then turned around for a complete 5 miles. It was fun running somewhere new and running across the bridge was neat, some hill variation involved as well. I felt good this morning and decide to work on my speed so I ran at a faster pace. Felt good!

TT: 41:50 min.                                 Avg: 8:22 min                           Max: 6:26 min.

Splits: 8:37, 8:48, 8:12, 8:04, 8:04 (very happy with my pace and getting faster at end)
