    good Chester Creek trail 14.06 mi 02:12 09:23 pace

    Great early morning run along the Chester Creek trail out to Westchester Lagoon. Attacked the big hill from the end of Mayor's Marathon again - I'm going to be ready for it this year! Kept it at a ... read more

    great Eagle River Challenge 6.2 mi 01:01 09:45 pace

    Had a great time at the Eagle River Challenge 10k trail race. Finished 7th out of 46th and took about 9 minutes off my time from last year. Very happy with that, especially considering the course w... read more

  4. RUN

    Easy run tonight with the family pushing the jogging stroller. Except for the last 1/4, which was nearly an all-out sprint home for my 4yo who desperately had to go potty (and who had just gone pot... read more

  6. RUN
    great Yassos 8 mi 01:02 07:43 pace

    A great run at the track for a full set of Yasso 800's. It had been a while since I had done any speed work on a track like this, so I wasn't quite sure what to aim at for pace. The first one at 3:... read more

  7. RUN
    good Cheney Lake 4.97 mi 00:48 09:39 pace

    Easy run with the kids in the jogging stroller. Found a new trail to run on around a small lake near my house. It was a nice trail, though a little rough for the jogging stroller. A nice sunny nigh... read more

    Fantastic run today, really happy with my pace. I didn't set out with the intent of a fast run, but sometimes things are feeling good and it just happens. Realized later that if I had continued tha... read more

    Great long run this morning. It was supposed to rain, but luckily never did. There's a big hill right at the end of the Mayor's Marathon course that kicked my butt last year. My route this morning ... read more

      @Krista - set that alarm clock and just say no to the snooze button. Getting out of bed is the biggest obstacle!
      @Mac - I've got a few smaller ones coming up, but my next big race is Mayor's Marathon June 23, then my first 50 miler July 28!

  12. RUN
    good family run 2.1 mi

    Easy run with the family pushing the jogging stroller. The weather was overcast when we left, but for a few brief minutes during the run, we actually got snowed on!

  13. RUN
    good Patterson loop 4.07 mi 00:36 08:55 pace

    Short run with the kiddos in the jogging stroller. The combination of the wind and pushing the jogging stroller made for a tough run!

    alright Goose Lake 5.45 mi 00:47 08:42 pace
