To nature preserve. There was a storm last night which made running bearable in the morning.

Minto Park, Salem, OR. Amy had an interview. I found a park with good trails. I ran with two local guys by chance. One was a pediatrician (Amy's profession) and the other was a teacher (my profession). After I left them I stopped and ate blackberries on the trail.

Drove to Kettle Falls, WA that night.

Dog Park, PM. Hot. My legs are still sore from driving 2800 miles in the past two weeks. It will take a few days to stretch out my hamstrings.

Parley's loop. I ran in the late afternoon so it was hot. I stretched my legs out with a downhill surge and a flat surge. I ran within seconds of what I was doing in December with much less effort.

Great Western Trail from Big Water. I ran 35 minutes out (1000 ft gained) and 25 back. I had the same feeling as yesterday. I am running the same times with less effort. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will start to run faster with the same effort.

PC marathon relay, 1st leg. I felt good but like I need more tempo running. Bob and I ran together with one other guy for the first 8 miles. It was a comfortable pace. Just after 8 miles Bob's hamstring locked up and he stopped. I stopped to try and get him moving again and lost about a minute. I never caught the other guy again.

Burch to Point after Mass. I ran very easy as recovery from yesterday's race. My legs felt good but I needed to drink more before I ran.

Zoo Loop with 8 x 2 minute surges @ 5 K pace. Today is the kids first day of school. I get to run at a reasonable hour and temperature again.

The surges felt good. My legs were turning over nicely but not very fast. My breathing was good at a fast pace and my foot was almost pain-free.

Sugarhouse loop. I ran a steady pace after warming up. My lungs feel good and I am starting to find some rhythm in my stride. I could feel the heat in the last few miles today.

Tempo in Sugarhouse park with Sasha. We met at Stiener. We ran to the park and around it once to find all of the mile marks. 5:24, 5:49, 5:31 17:23 5k. The second mile I was flat but Sasha kept me going. I recovered a bit to help with the pace making on the third mile. We cooled down back to Stiener.
