Hill repeats on Turner

Did an early morning set of hill repeats up NW Turner in Pullman. At the top of the hill on the 2nd and 3rd repeats I could barely breathe.

Didn't think it would be that far, but that's what the mapping software says.

This turned out to be my last run in Pullman, at least as a resident. Perhaps fitting to go out by running hills.

Blogging is hard even when all you are doing is logging runs

So here it is a month after I did this run and I'm trying to remember what day it was. All I know is this: I've run four times in the last month on four different routes.

6 miles, Rec center loop, Pegasus shoes, unknown time

Finally caught up with posting/logging! 5 miles on the Merman loop this morning

That took a little doing to remember all my runs for the last few weeks. Fortunately, the pattern of every other day made it easier. Again, logging gym visits and time on the tread using Foursquare helped.

I definitely think it's time to throw some variation into my runs. I've got a base built up of 15-20 miles a week now and need to throw in some longer runs, speed work, and maybe some stairs at Martin Stadium. Only have two weeks left in Pullman, so maybe I'll see if I can do that on this Sunday morning before church.

Didn't feel that great on the run this morning, but I'm still acclimating to getting up at 530 am. May take a little longer to get used to than I was hoping.

The standby - Merman loop (5 miles)

Was going to go longer, but really didn't feel that great. One of those days.

6 miles Rec Center loop

Took Sunday off. Felt pretty good today.

Treadmill - 4 miles in 35:20

Inside again.

Didn't eat very well while traveling. Feeling the effects.

After weather/travel break - 5 miles

It's hard enough to stay in a rhythm while traveling, but on top of that the weather in Portland was solid rain for nearly the entire time there. Interested in one house we looked at and put an offer on. Pretty low so we'll see what comes back.

Kind of disappointed that I won't get to run Bloomsday. Was looking forward to experiencing the event, but with a move date set for April 29th, it's not going to happen. Will need to find an event in Portland to target.
