Squamish Bay Run

Same run, with C-Dog.

Squamish Bay Run

Same run, 36:00.

Squamish Bay Run

Ran 5mi at slow pace along the Hood Canal. Felt OK for the first two miles. Then rounded a corner and saw three hills, reminiscent of the trio at the start of the Blair Road run at Williams. The third hill was a wall; short but very, very steep. Topped out, then down the back side of the same hill, out to the water's edge then back the same route.

Trail

Wet, muddy run through (surprisingly nice) pine forest trail in suburbia. Had to do two loops, still only 3.5mi.

Issaquah

Ran 3-4 miles. No watch, unsure of the turn around.

Issaquah

Ran a little more than 5mi near MS house. In the rain. Yuck.

Thank you Microsoft

Did 50 minutes cardio at Dad and Susanne's sports club. Very, very swanky. 20:40 5K and 30 minutes elliptical. Woot.

Sunday Morning River Run

Ran another fun loop that brings back nice summer memories: out to the rowing shell and back. Just a hair under 7mi, though I ran it at a quite slow pace (forgot my watch again so nothing to tell me just how slow, happily). Lots of Sunday morning sights and sounds: familiar faces of runners and bikers from the summer still out on the river path, though now clad in hats, gloves, and tights, smells of wood fires near Fitler square, nice view of the roof of Memorial Hall in Fairmont Park through bare trees just after the turnaround, Clare's hip-hop hookup in my ears.

5K river run

Ran an old friend: just up to Waterworks and back. Didn't have my watch, but it felt fast and I went all out from JFK to the Locust tracks.

Hutch VB

Played volleyball last night with a Pigs/SWAT mixed crew (Mike, Patrick, Leslie, Cara, John, Chris). Felt incredibly slow/inept and am quite sore today.

Foiled!

Another gym date, of sorts. PennRec is doing free classes during finals as a stress reliever. Wanted to do a spinning class but whilst [that's for you, Clare Bear] changing in the locker room dry air and forceful pre-workout nose blow caused gushing nose bleed. Ick. By the time it stopped and I got upstairs, spinners were already spinning quite rapidly so I just did 25 minutes cardio + lifted instead.

Pottruck

40 minutes cardio.

Pottruck

55 minutes cardio: 27 minutes running (4 and a little miles), 18 minutes elliptical, 10 minutes bike.

Pottruck liftage

Post party Pottruck run. No energy for good cardio but did 20 minutes of light running + stationary bike, then lifted legs and did JERM circuits.

Hutch Stinkage

Played IM semis and finals. Beat Twelve but lost to ISSVC 2-1 in a close but completely frustrating match. Both sides sort of stunk it up and the Pigs stopped playing in the 2nd and 3rd set because of some co-ed rotation malarkey. Totally frustrating. I want to play better.
