AM: 10 miles in GP.  Ran around Walmart and the HS before returning home.

PM: Staying in Bandon rather than Coos Bay.  Serves me right for not getting a reservation in advance.  Anyway, ran south on Highway 101 and then looped around and ran to the beach.  I decided to run along the shoreline which was fun for about 5 minutes.  The constant wind, water jumps and loose sand became horribly annoying for the next few miles.  Oh well--don't get these chances very often.  Left the beach and returned to Highway 101 and then back to the hotel.  I busted out some 3 inch shorts.  First time ever and I was feeling slightly under dressed.  That will take some getting used to...

Humid run in Bandon, OR this morning.  I ran from the hotel north along the coastal road into Old Bandon, then north on 101 until I hit 5 miles.  Ran out in 36 and change, then returned in 31 and change.  Slept in just a bit so needed to pick up the pace on the return.

11 miles through town.  I ran up 6th street to Anderson Dental, then home after looping around past the middle and elementary schools.  Felt good, especially after rolling out my right hamstring last night.  I've got to do be more consistent with that as it makes a WORLD of difference.

Probably no run today. I think I'll join my wife at the hospital and have a baby instead.

10 miles around GP. Very erratic sleep last night. Never got more than 45 minutes in a row and my bed (should I even call it that?) was more of a wooden bench with a 2 inch mat. Not pleasant. Oh well...

14 miles around GP. I actually got some sleep last night which was nice. Woke up a lot but not nearly as bad as Thursday night. I ran 8 miles to Walmart and then the HS. Jumped on the track and ran a 5K in 16:28. Splits were 5:24, 5:19, 5:09 and 36 for the final 200 meters. Not too bad after a couple nights of limited sleep. 3 miles back to the hospital. Going home today!

Noon: 4 miles barefoot on the HS football field.
