It was one year ago today that I had moved to GP, settled in, and was able to run for the first time in my new town.  I thought about running the same course as that day but I know better...  Haha.  I had to day off so I waited to run until it was warmer and then ran 9 miles to the west of town by the college.  Got home and put Ryan in the jogging stroller and pushed him around the middle school, hospital, and Albertson's for 6 miles.  Pretty tired by the time I finished.

AM: 10 miles around GP.  Pretty much the same run as yesterday.

PM: 5 miles with Ryan in the stroller.  He can be pretty talkative and it's always fun to have the one-on-one time.

AM: 10 miles in Grants Pass.

PM: 12 miles in Coos Bay.  I ran 4 miles for a warm up before arriving at the HS track.  Decided to mix things up and ran 4x800, 2x400, 1x200 with a 400 meter jog between each.  Too much rest but that's ok.  Splits were 2:26, 2:23, 2:22, 2:20, 67, 64, 30.  Jogged a bit more and talked with the HS track coach and then left the track and ran 4 more miles for a cool down.  My form sure felt sloppy on the repeats so I'm glad I'm not a track guy anymore.

Not enough sleep last night due to hotel bed, AC that didn't work, and very early alarm clock so I could run before the hospital display.  Only time for 5 miles.  Better than nothing and probably fine to limit miles today or else my weekly mileage would be higher than I want.

10 miles around Home Depot, the HS, to freeway exit and then home.  Chilly this morning.  Very chilly.  Storm is coming to town and tomorrow might be rough.

6 miles with my Dad which I always love.  He's getting up there in age but still going strong.  If only I can do half as well as him...

Dropped him off at the house and ran another 9 miles.  I thought the pace would drop and I'd feel great...but it just didn't happen.  Felt like I was dragging and it was a long 9 miles.  Feeling a little beat down but rest the next few days will help I'm sure.
