From Krissy's house to Discovery Park, one big loop then a small loop, and back. Misty rain most of the afternoon run. Good run. Didn't feel the tightness or fatigue of Saturday's run, so maybe I just needed to loosen up a bit. 1:40 or so.

Oy, I start the week with the best of intentions and suddenly it's Thursday and I'm running in the evening after work. Been one of those weeks, too many 11- and 12-hour workdays and other weeknight activities keeping me out late. I did get out a bit on Tuesday and run striders/plyos/form drills with a few of the kids I coach, so I haven't been a total slug. 

But I desperately needed tonight's run, so I headed to Illahee Forest Preserve after an intense and long day at work. (The corporate bosses are in town.) About 30 minutes of wandering around in there, even found a new connection I didn't know about. Felt wonderful to just be alone and running in the woods. So relaxing that I could feel my body getting loose and the muscles unwinding as I cooled down and drove home. It was almost painful, that's how wound up I had been. I don't get that stark of a physical sensation very often, but that's what happens when my body is really tense for a few days and hasn't run much in the past few weeks. I was craving one. 

Hopefully the running continues. I'm getting a little race plan for the rest of the summer/fall together, which is always good motivation.

Met Chris Lemke at Banner Forest in South Kitsap early. Chris is part of a group that maintains and builds trails there, so he knows his way around. We spent 1:15 just winding around the forest, it's really more "mountain bike" territory than running, but at that hour we had it to ourselves. A lot of winding terrain, quick up and downs, etc. Really nice to get out on those trails. Chris keeps a slower pace, so we weren't pushing at all, and it was really comfortable. 1:14:55
