1;50:00 up in the Chuckanuts and adding onto the Urb. Down the Bay trail for a little extra.

Tried out my first pair of Saucony's on a loop up to campus and through Boulevard. Spent a little time in the Happy Trails for a total time of 72:xx. I really enjoyed the feel of the Rides. The weather was great, a perfect Pacific Northwest morning with mist and low hanging clouds over the bay.

I'm working late this week, so I'm taking advantage to the daylight hours and beautiful weather. I headed up to Padden for a MP pace effort. 3 loops around the lake for 7.8 miles. The goal was just to cruise at 6:00, and I finished in 46:42, 6 seconds under pace. Felt great and enjoyed the beauty Padden offers.

10 easy on the Urb. Made a couple of canine friends along the way that followed me 5 or so miles. Couldn't get them to go away. I dropped them off at the vet hospital on the way home.

Headed up to campus and ran around the Arboretum a bit before running a 8x200m strides on the track. Despite the long warmup and running some drills beforehand, it took a couple repeats to warm into it. Started at 34, then 35, 33 and the rest in the 32s. It felt good to open things up a bit. Cooled down in the Arboretum as well.

10 easy on the horse trails at Padden. My legs are a little fatigued from the increased mileage. I ran with Tanner and Marty and played the old man card to make them keep it slow enough.

6.2 mile tempo at Padden, 34:52. 5:37 average. The downside of doing Saturday tempos here is the high trail traffic. I spent more time than I'd like dodging kids and dogs. I felt pretty good, though, this was far from strenuous. 

One more week of 80 miles then I'll take a down week.
