Good workout today. 5 hilly miles up to Redmond HS then 5M on the track at 5:15-5:18. Everything felt really good although the sun came out and made things toasty toward the end. My jog back was a bit hairy. I was super dehydrated and wasn't feeling all that great because of it.

BA-utiful day for a run along the Sammamish River trail. I love winter in Texas...I mean Seattle.

Ran from work up to North Redmond and over Education Hill dropping down into the Sammamish River valley and back through Marymoor Park. A very mild 60 degrees and bright sunshine. Perfect way to break in my 3rd pair of Ravennas. I'm in heaven.

I maintain that there is not a more beautiful place on earth than Seattle on a sunny day. That was today. It was 30 degrees when I started and 50 when I finished. Workout was 5M @ 5:20 with a twist. The idea was to find a spot that had some up and downhill to help prep for the beating Boston puts on your legs. So I did the Business Park loop which is exactly a mile. Half of it up and half of it down. I did a 10-mile warmup and then jumped into the workout. Hit all were either 5:18 or 5:17 except the middle one which was 5:21. I was very pleased. Nailed the workout which makes it three in a row with only the San Diego disaster blemishing the recent string of successful workouts. 5 mile cooldown. For probably the first time in a long time, I feel like I am getting close to getting back into marathon shape.
