Total Distance
5.50

Warren Ave. Bridge to Manette Bridge loop, with a little extra thrown in on the end because I felt good. Actually I added two little hills at the end just to push myself, it didn't add much distance but was good mentally. Pretty quick pace though, I was through the first 4.5 at or under 7 min/per and it felt fine. One guy (who was also running) even had kind of a wiseass remark about my pace (I think, it was hard to tell, but didn't seem like genuine encouragement. Plus he looked like a jerk.) Beautiful view of both the Olympics (to my right) and Mt. Rainier (to my left) when coming down the Warren Bridge, and that always helps.

Were you passing this guy or was he passing you? Rude remarks don't count if you are going faster...

We passed each other, he was coming at me -- coming at me slower, that is.

As long as he is slower...
