In Seattle this morning to meet Aaron. I ran 20 minutes near UW before we hooked up on the Burke Gilman trail near U-Village, then we headed out to Sand Point Park on the trail. We kept a pretty brisk pace heading out and held it on the way back. We were at 6:15 pace for awhile, I'd guess a good portion of the run was up closer to 7/min. I could feel we were giving good effort, but it wasn't too taxing, which is a positive sign. Then we calmed down for the last mile or so. Great paved trail to run on, really flat and consistent and shady (not that we needed it, it was a warm, cloudy morning) so it's not hard to get a good pace working and keep it. Legs felt good, especially once they loosened up. Not a great week because I lost a few days, but today made up for some of that. I should be able to get the mileage back up to 40 next week, which is where I want to be through September.
