Total Distance
7.00

Over in Seattle for the morning. Took off from Bryce and Bonnie's, Burke-Gilman Trail to Fremont, then back and up Stone Way to Green Lake. That was about 7 miles, pretty good pace to start then I eased off. Felt really good in light of yesterday's beating. 

At Green Lake there was a new 5k. My cousin's son was going to run the 1k kids' dash and I was going to run with him. But he's 2, and made it maybe 100 yards (though maybe he was tired from our "warm up" over to the playground. He was definitely more interested in that run). And we kind of had to coax him through that. Got the biggest cheers though. Rather than run back to Bryce and Bonnie's I ate two donuts (the 5k was sponsored by a donut store) and hitched a ride with little Axel's parents. 50:00

Axel... what an awesome name!

The donuts sound pretty good too...
