Easy miles in Seattle this morning (Aaron, if you're reading, sorry I didn't call to meet up before the run, it was a last-minute trip over Saturday). Down the Burke Gilman trail to Husky Stadium, where the University of Washington kicked the crap out of Boise State yesterday, and back through the university arboretum. Beautiful day, it could stay like this until... well, forever and I'd be happy. My legs weren't so tight or dysfunctional like yesterday, so I'll get back in rhythm this week.

Trenton Ave to YMCA and back along Shore Drive. Good pace, not pushing but not too easy either. Even though I haven't done a long or hard run, the past two days are a much better start to the week mentally than last week.

Easy miles on another beautiful morning, I can't get enough of these days. I'm not pushing myself too much this week, but I am really enjoying it. Tomorrow I'll put in some more intense miles in my Wednesday evening workout. Warren Ave. bridge through Evergreen Park to Manette Bridge. The only drawback was that the city apparently doesn't unlock the bathrooms early in the morning anymore, which was a bit of a problem. Slowed down the pace a bit, but I wasn't pushing anyway. I'm feeling strong and healthy.

Out to Illahee State Park and back. This is a hilly run, mostly downhill on the way back though. Didn't try to push the pace, in fact I felt a little lethargic but nothing serious. Just slow getting going today. I missed Wed-Thurs because of a late night at work and then a Mariners game in Seattle, which was another late night. I'll try to finish the week decently with a long run tomorrow.

Lions Park loop back through Evergreen Park and Manette Bridge. Another sluggish day, which seems odd. I slept in, it's nice outside, I don't feel mentally drained or like I'm getting sick, but it was just hard to get into any rhythm and I was dragging. Next weekend run maybe I can get a pace team (how about it guys?). Got through some miles though, and ran into some friends taking a walk along the way and stopped and caught up for a bit. I am going to reward myself with brats today (UW football game), didn't earn a bruger though.
