 Morning (6:30am) - On the beach with Cooper, so eerie and creepy like a horror film, the fog was sooo dense.  My face kept being completely soaked just from the air, and I could only see about 20 feet in front of me which was so bizarre.  Couldn't see the water or the houses, just plain weird!  But fun, and the tide was the lowest I've ever seen it, saw starfish and tidepools and rocks you never see!  Plus a dead seal as a bonus.

Evening - Planned to do 5 downhill this afternoon but decided to get right to the Hood to Coast t-shirt making (a complete and utter disaster by the way, our team is definitely going for the "vintage" (aka pieces of the design are missing) look) and Jord wasn't feeling it so by the time I got out it was almost dark.  Went until it was night.  But felt great!  Best I've felt on a run since 2 months ago when I started getting scared again.  Did 4 mini loops so I could pound the downhill, which I did (made sure to get into the 6's).

BPA trail after work.  Got there early so did 1.7 before Anya got there, then ran about 4 with Anya.  Then had a little break while we had our Hood to Coast meeting (getting excited!) and then we ran 4 more as a team.  It was hillllyyyy and my legs felt dead!  Last run before H2C, its going to be epic!
