Returned to running today, I needed the Slugs encouragement to get back out there. Met Henry and Mike early and we did 11 on Beach Drive. Kept the pace pretty consistent between 7:15 and 7:25, with just one fast one in there (a 6:45 on the way back, about mile 8). The muscle just to the front of my hipflexor on both legs, right at the top of my quads, became incredibly sore during the last three miles. I'm pretty sure it's from lugging around a backpack on some long hikes in Alaska. I'll stretch and try to get it back in shape. 1:20:00

Speaking of 'back in shape,' it was a long week coming back from vacation and running just had to take a back seat. The break, between a week off in Alaska and this week's blank slate, means I'm real doubtful of a fall marathon. I think I'll pick two halfs to focus on instead, I'd like to put up one respectable time at that distance this year. That gives a little more breathing room in terms of training, I was going to have a hard time getting my mileage up in the coming month because of a lot coming at work. Skagit Flats 1/2 is Sept. 13, and that's a nice flat one up near where I grew up, so I think that'll be the goal. Then look for something in October.
