Pretty darn good run this morning! I was planning on running the NW Trail Run out at Redmond Preserve, but since we got the van late last night and it isn't insured, we didn't feel good about taking it on a long drive. Roy is going to have it checked over today and transfer our insurance over.

Ran 5:1 intervals, which felt good. I can probably do 10:1 but my knee and ankle were REALLY hurting at the end of last week's 18 so I was hoping to avoid that. I can "feel" them, but they don't hurt. Ran out to the Casino and around that area. My 25 year HS reunion was held there last night, but we didn't go. I wasn't feeling great and the price was pretty high from (what I hear) was a poorly organized event. We were supposed to dress up like the Rat Pack. Nuff Said! I do NOT play dress up (except maybe...well...nevermind). Besides, we graduated in 1983 NOT 1953.

Started out warm-ish. We are having these funky warmy coldy sweaty heavy mornings lately where it's cloudy, but warm and the air feels thick and heavy. It's so strange feeling! Makes me glad I didn't wear a shirt (as in sleeves, I did wear a TOP).

Stopped at Starbucks at mile 12 and decided that even though the schedule said 14 miles, since I would hit 14.5 if I took the normal route home, I'd take the 3 mile route home and go for the full 15.

Next week is the Grande Ass Marathon from Puyallup to Tacoma. It's a Marathon Maniacs thing...run from Starbucks to Starbucks to Starbucks (six total) and get your picture taken in each one. How fun is that? I emailed the coordinator to let her know I was coming with an email titled, "YOU MADE A MARATHON JUST FOR ME!!" LOL! I'll run with my awesome friend, Marie, who got me INTO the Marathon Maniacs. That will be marathon number 13, and the 4th this year. After that, Bellingham then Chicago...Seattle and Christmas (in Olympia) with a goal of 12 marathons in 12 months.
