St. Paddy's Day Dash in Seattle this morning with Jordanne, Kevin, Katie, and Carina (Jordanne's mom and brother missed the spring forward!). It sprinkled most of the time, but was fun, tons of green and some fun costumes! 2 miles uphill, 2 miles downhill, about a 10 minute mile average (ran with Jordanne the whole time for fun, I'm an evil bandit). Its funny how running 4 miles in a big group makes it okay to drink beer at 10 in the morning! Then we went and had a delicious book club brunch afterwards. When I got home I didn't feel like I'd truly earned my brunch so I took Cooper out for 3 quick miles, did some speed-ups, AP around 8:30, last mile 7:57.
Then played 9 holes of golf, well, walked 9 holes of golf! It was fun and enjoyable (I even shockingly parred a hole!) until about 5 or 6, then the rain came, then the winds came, then the rain came harder, then the wind came harder. That's about when I quit playing and just tried not to complain. Much. Hole 9 was pretty miserable! |

Accomplished my goal of making myself suffer, this run was tough! 1 mile warm-up, 8 x 400's with 1:30 easy running in between (except for after split #4, that was around 2:17 as an extra break), then about a .7 mile cool-down to round it out at 5 miles. Goal for the 400's was 1:45-1:50 (7:00-7:20).
TT: 41:59, AP: 8:21 400 Splits: 1:45, 1:46, 1:44, 1:47, 1:46, 1:48, 1:52, 1:46 I've very pleased with this! It was really hard and I wanted to quit but didn't, so that's a success! 400 #7 was a steady incline the whole time, so I think that they are all technically within my goal. The Garmin is funny how it yells at you to Speed Up! or Slow Down! Had some absolutely delicious coconut chicken to reward myself. If I was on Top Chef that's definitely what I would make. :-)

Nice sunny day, lucky lunchtime run on Burke-Gilman trail. No Garmin, 50 minutes of running, 40 minutes tempo moderate-to-moderately-hard, so I guessed about 5.5 miles. Who knows. Tonight at 7:00pm I will be all done with winter quarter!
MapMyRun says I ran about 6 miles, I highly doubt I pumped out 6 miles in 50 minutes, but whatever, I'll take it!

| | For some reason my quads and calves were sore and I just felt sluggish. So I actually feel very proud that I did this, because although my goal was a 2 hour run, I was immediately being like, I'll just do 10, I'll just do 8, I'll stop when Lisa does. Ran 3.6 miles waiting for Lisa to get there, then 4.4 with her (pushed the beautiful Denali in the BOB for about 2 miles, which ALL felt uphill), then forced myself to trudge on. Talked to both Justin and Leandrea on the phone for awhile which helped get me to the end. 2:03, AP 10:15 or something like that. It was just about dark when I finished. Had a lovely start-of-vacation dinner at Applebees after, now its TIME FOR MEXICO! Hellooooo 80 degrees. |

| | 3 miles in lovely sunny Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I abided by J's wishes and stayed on campus which was absolutely intolerable - 18 minutes running in circles on the tiny path at the hotel and then 12 unbearable minutes in the tiniest least entertaining gym ever. This is my one and only day abiding by his wishes! |
