New longest run. Started out great. I averaged under 8:00/mile for the first 13 miles. I knew it wouldn't stay that way since this route gets very hilly at mile 10. Still felt good until my ca... read more

Dropped my wife of at Fleet Feet for the stroller run/walk group, then headed off for a run on my own. Hadn't been feeling great all day, so I took my house key, and ran in the direction of ho... read more

good UPS track 4 mi
Guerilla track workout. 3 x 1600 w/400 easy recovery. Only did a 400 wu and cd cause I got there about 15 mins late. 6:20.94, 6:13.56, 6:00.88. Thankfully the weather held out for us.

Does anyone else set 2 goals for a big race? 1 realistic and 1 lofty. I think I have already unofficially done this for S2N 12k. I would like to run under 50, a minimum 9:27 improvement, but I thin... read more

I've never had a must finish by goal. There may be one for Missoula though. Finish before they clear the course.

Ran the 5k in 20:10. PR for the Pt. D. course by 26s. Stayed with the leader until about 1/2 way. This one makes me excited for Sound to Narrows, which I still need to sign up for.

Haven't run all the way around the 5 in a while. It was nice.

good Fleet Feet Tacoma + 9.25 mi 01:10 07:36 pace
Good run again. Legs felt a bit heavy. I think from my run Saturday still. Couldn't find the same speed as last week on the run home. Must keep up the long runs to stand a chance in Missoula.

New longest run. I mapped this route out knowing it would be hilly. It was really hilly. Not mountain trail hilly, but still really hilly. The views were great though. The last 2 miles were quite a... read more

Nice job. I have 5x1200 scheduled for next week! Are you following a plan or just kinda winging it?

good Fleet Feet Tacoma + 9.45 mi 01:10 07:24 pace
This run went pretty awesome. Finally was able to run to and from the store. As usual, took the first few miles easyish, then tried to chase down the front runners. Miles 5-9 splits were 7:07, 7:12... read more

I did not try the Hokas. I just don't think they offer what I want in shoes. It seemed that most people that tried them, liked them though.

Even though I did a hill workout Monday, and a timed mile (not all out though) Tuesday, I felt like I've done zero fast running this week, and I don't like that. I only did tempo pace, 6:... read more

Thinking if doing some mile repeats soon. The debate is where? Wright Park, Narrows bridge, or the track. After an easyish feeling 6:09 at UPS last night, and having not done mile repeats on the tr... read more

Narrows Bridge is great, or continue out a mile to the start of the Cushman Trail in Gig Harbor. It's even marked! I think rollers are better than the track any day.

Nice 17 miles. Did you have any kind of food and drink during? Lack of those often will cause the cramps. I am always fiddling around with nutrition for long runs trying to get it just right.

Heavens to Betsy, Chris. Think about carrying a bottle and a little something, chomps, a gu pack to keep those cramps away.
