The annual Slug Club run and breakfast assembly began at Manchester Library. We took a photo with a beautiful winter sunrise as backdrop, and those of us not resting (half the club ran either a marathon or half marathon yesterday) went for a run. Mike and I ran with Don Feldman, who set a far too aggressive pace (particularly for a guy who's only been back running for a month). We ran to the state park, left Don behind and took a wrong turn for a loop through the campground, then ran back into Don and took the correct path to the waterfront. Then we hustled back to Manchester, pushing the pace a bit on the last mile (no watches). It was pretty cold, maybe we just wanted to be done. Then breakfast up at Doug's house. 

Now it's time to start thinking about 2013. Last night I was talked into the Nookachamps run, which I was on the fence about because I'm just not in shape yet. So I'll head north in two weeks for the 10k to start my year. Bloomsday is on the schedule again, and this year the Windermere Marathon in Spokane in May. Chuckanut is a maybe (need to decide by Friday), and then another trail ultra this summer (possibly Crow Pass again, if the timing works, otherwise I'll be on the lookout). Most important will simply be to keep running and stay healthy, and to get my lazy butt going again. The sun today helps.

Illahee Preserve with Mike before dawn. Pretty dark in there, so the pace was slow. Then some other friends showed up when we finished and we did trail maintenance for a few hours. 50:42
