12 miles around the quiet road west of town.  Followed the highway towards RCC, then looped around the elementary school and fire station.  Eventually made it back via Redwood Rd and Albertsons.  Kept the pace easy throughout and felt pretty good.  After nearly 100 miles, I still don't love these shoes and wish I hadn't bought 2 pairs.

11 miles by going to All Sport Park. I ran 3 laps, then around the closest neighborhood, then 2 more laps and then home. I'm really starting to like running these loops. It's nothing compared to the trails in Eugene, but it gets the job done.

AM: Only had time for 2.5 miles.  Kinda pathetic, but better than nothing.  I think this is the first time I've ran before the Evergreen breakfast in Roseburg.  Usually just sleep in until leaving for the early start to the day.

PM: 10.5 miles.  I got back from Roseburg, finished working for the day and had to get some work done on my car.  I dropped it off, ran to the HS track and ran 9 miles, then ran back to the mechanic right as he was finishing.  Mixed in 150 pushups (25 every 4-5 laps).

I ran through downtown GP to the north freeway exit, then back home.  Makes for a good climb the first half and a nice downhill on the return.

In Coos Bay.  I ran south through town, then back up Highway 101 past the mill and casino (I love the smell of sawdust on a humid morning) into North Bend, then back to the motel for 9 miles total.

15 miles around GP.  I warmed up for 7 miles, then ran a 6 mile tempo portion.  Hit 5:50-5:30 for each mile, then a two mile cool down.  Temps were in the high teens when I got out the door--highly unusual for this area.  It was all I could do to talk myself into running...I'm turning soft in my old age.  About 6 miles into the run it started snowing (SNOWING?) and kept it up for the next 4 miles.  I forgot how painful it is when a snowflake hits your eyeball.  Haha.
