Okay, I really hate running in the dark so Mon. and Tues. I slept in thinking of running in the afternoon. Worked late so no running 3 days straight. That doesn't work too well. 

Beautiful Sunrise over Mt. Si this morning made it easier after starting in the Dark.

This morning decided to try some 800's on a hill. 

1.75 easy then

uphill 800 in 3:42 with 400 jog down

uphill 800 in 410 with 400 jog down

uphill 800 in 410

2.75 easy

45 F with no wind. Dark when I started at 7:15. Official sunrise at 7:49 however we did get a little color again but not as pretty as yesterday.

When I input my 10k time into the runners world training calculator it says my so called "easy" miles should be 8:54 pace. OK it's time to do it. This morning felt good for the first 3.25 miles at 8:44 pace since there are more uphills on the way back home I wanted to get a cushion.

Finishing pace was 8:53 so I beat it by a second.

Went trick or treating last night with Sam and Larry Shaw and the Gibson boys.  Had a few too many chico sticks. (YUMM!)

Trail run planned this morning but high winds prohibit running in amongst the trees. I've heard trees falling when running at Cougar Mtn. before with not much wind at all. I don't like running the hills of Snoqualmie either in heavy wind.

Bruce called at 6:50 to say let's bag it. Was going to sleep in then I remembered that only 13 miles run this week so it's off to the treadmill for 10. First 5 easy in 40 minutes then did strides for one tenth of a mile on each of the last 5 miles.

The Brooks Radius shoes have got to be my favorite shoe ever. Slightly heavy but oh so comfy. Used them before the marathon to run from Snoqualmie Pass to North bend on the John Wayne trail for 22 miles and my feet hardly felt it. Should have worn them on the marathon too. Live and learn.

This is what the treadmill readout said upon completion today.

Coming from the garage and into the kitchen I am now smelling a cinnamon sugar walnut pullapart.
