Finally got out into the woods and hills. I skipped the Fishline 25k for a route with more elevation gain, I need more work on the hills. So it was Green Mountain early on on a Sunday morning, where I had the whole place to myself. Today was a gray, foggy Pacific Northwest winter day, and on the higher parts of Beaver Pond trail I had the image in my head of the Dagoba swamp where Yoda lives. Run not enough here, I do. 

I'm still not in great hill shape and felt a little fatigued on a few of the longer climbs, but I finished the run strong. That's a good sign for finally getting over 2 hours on my feet. Now to push that along in the coming weeks. 2:12:00

A few easy recovery miles on the Y treadmill, I was feeling a little beat up from yesterday's run. Nothing hurt, just some hip soreness and tired muscles. 30:50

Y treadmill after work, 7:30 pace. Heavy legs, but that may have been the 12-hour workday talking. 38:00

Morning start on the Eastpark loop. Nothing fancy, but incredibly nice to actually see the sun at sunrise. 31:21

Beach Drive with Mike, the wind at the start eventually died off and the rain held, so a nice run overall. Didn't push too much. Everything feels healthy at the end of my heaviest week of the winter, which is a good sign. 1:29:30
