The plan was for Mike to show up at Jaguars practice to watch his daughter, then we'd do some track work when the kids finished. Bremerton High kicked us off the track so our plans were postponed a bit. After the kids got done with a workout on grass, Mike and I ran around the neighborhood for two miles. Then a lap on the track and then did 6x800 with 400 recovery between each. The first was slow but then we were really consistent: 3:04, 2:57, 2:56, 2:58, 2:58, 2:57

I was tired at the end, but not totally gassed. We probably should have added two, but it was dark by then. Slow mile cool down. 52:42

Manette Hills loop, w/6x100 striders at the end on Shore Drive. It was cloudy to start, but then the peaks of Olympics were slowly uncovered from the gray, like someone was rubbing the scene with a huge eraser. Nice view, and the sun's on its way out. 43:45

Morning run with Mike on Beach Drive. I let him start without me, since I wasn't totally confident in a 20-miler. So I parked at Waterman and ran back toward him, then stuck together out to Curley Creek and back to Annapolis. 

We ran well, much better energy and strength than a week ago. Most miles in the 7:10-7:20 range, with five of them at or near 7/min, including a 6:49 in the last few. And we both finished strong, which is a better sign. Beautiful sunny morning, it was worth it showing up late for breakfast. One Clif Shotblok, one Clif gel, two Enduralytes. 2:00:14
