It ain't Chinese algebra!

AM: 12 miles around GP.  Feeling fine after Saturday's long run.  Should be able to get a few more miles in tonight in Eugene.

PM: 12 miles in Eugene.  It was hot out but I survived.  I ran east into Springfield, eventually reaching Winco before looping back around and to the hotel via the Gateway Mall and Autzen Stadium.

11 miles around Eugene.  From to hotel to the golf course, then up around Costco and back via Coburg Rd.  I slept great last night, which is pretty rare when it comes to hotel beds.

AM: 6 miles around Lonnon Loop behind Albertsons.  The sushi from yesterday didn't agree with my stomach and the run was a struggle.  More tonight.

PM: My family decided last minute to come with me to Coos Bay so I didn't run too much.  We all went to the college track and I ran 4 miles barefoot while the wife and kids messed around with the soccer goal and couple of balls that were roaming around.  City Subs for dinner so the day was pretty much the bomb.  Best. Sandwich. Ever. 

11 miles in Coos Bay.  I ran the Prefontaine route (first 3 miles from the downtown to the cemetery) to the college, stopped by the bakery to order my business lunch and then looped past the casino back to the hotel.  Good run and my legs felt fresh after the barefoot running last night.

7 miles in GP.  I had to get back for a conference call so I cut the run a little short.

Long run of 22 miles to finish off a solid week.  I broke it up into 3 sections (7x7x8) which helped the run not feel so daunting.  The first 7 miles were a warm up (7:13/mile) along Redwood Highway before coming back into town and using the bathroom at the park near Tanners dental office.  I picked up the pace slightly for the second 7 miles (6:38/mile) as I ran through town and up Hillcrest to Anderson's dental office and Club Northwest.  I ran the final 8 miles just shy of marathon pace (5:58/mile) but there were two big hills that really took it out of me.  I ran past the HS up 9th street and down Beacon to Albertsons and home.  Nearly 1100 ft of climbing throughout the run and no water--I was tired by the time I finished but felt pretty good overall.
