It ain't Chinese algebra!

I actually ran this morning!  And more than 3 miles!  Sure hope this week can be a good one because for the rest of August, training might be hard to come by.

Average Pace: 6:25

Red (521)

Ran out Stewart Highway for 4.5 miles and back.  Lots of traffic and too may stop lights.  Feeling pretty good.

Rotterdam (355)

4 more miles tonight as I won"t be able to run Wednesday morning before boarding a plane for Portland

Sinister (226)

10 miles around Lake Oswego, Oregon. This was much better than the last 2 times I've been in Portland for work and had to run downtown.  I ran around the actual lake and saw some amazing houses.  The entire run was very green, very pretty and very peaceful.  I'm glad I got out this morning.  I headed back to the hotel and used the bathroom and then did 2 more on the treadmill, 1 @ 7:02/mile and the last @ 6:00/mile pace. 

Adidas (40) 

5 miles to Saint Mary's HS track and back, plus 2 with the dog.  I'm in need of a chiro visit, so hopefully that can be taken care of soon.

Pace: 7:07

Sinister (233)

Out and back on the backroads to Talent.  This is quickly becoming my favorite run in the Medford area.  I looped around Albertsons and then went south on the rolling route east of the freeway 7 miles.  Average pace there was 6:49.  I turned around and made my way back in a bit of a hurry to get home (lots to do today) and ended up pushing the pace a bit.  7 miles back in 5:52/mile pace.  It felt good to drop the speed again--its been a while.  1 more mile with the dog after getting home.
