On the way back Ron and Todd talked me into 1 extra mile.

The trail was flooded in two sections from heavy rains on Sunday. Had to take my shoes off twice and wade through 8-10 inches of water in spots. I've run through it before but it was really cold today. It would have sucked to run with wet , cold shoes from mile 3.5 on.

Soos Creek out and back route. Got some disappoiniting news at work today so I had some issues to work out. Wasn't even going to go run today but very glad I did. After 1 mile warm up I did 9 miles at MP.

5 Miles Inbound AP 8:04 7:57 / 8:02 / 8:08 / 7:56 / 8:18

That's a PR for me on that last mile which is almost all uphill with some steep sections.

1 mile easy to cool down.

Riverton Half Marathon.

I think this is the 4th year in a row that I've run this event (not counting last year which was snowed out). This is a good measure of my fitness level after the winter. This is the most "honest" course I've run around here. It's a mostly flat loop course, with just a few sections of rollers. There's always some wind from either the north or the south. Fortunately the winds weren't too bad at all. The last two times it was blowing pretty strong from the south. This year just a light breeze out of the north that got just a little stronger as the morning went on. The course was just a little different from years past. They took out one pretty big uphill followed by a ridiculous downhill.

So where is my fitness?

In 2011 I ran the course in 1:48:??

In 2012 I ran the course in 1:47:??

This year 1:41:06.

All those miles with the Cedar River Runners are paying off. I even proudly wore my CRR shirt.

AP 7:45

7:29 / 7:25 / 7:14 / 7:26 / 7:24 / 7:38 / 7:37 / 7:57 / 8:16 / 8:02 / 8:33 / 8:06 / 7:39 / 6:49 pace for last .1

Not too bad for a guy running mostly at sea level for several months.

Cedar River Trail with CCRs.

Big group of 20+ runners this morning.  I think the weather teased a lot of people out this morning.  Driving to the trail there was a sliver of sun coming up over the Cascades but below an overcast layer.  By the time we started running it was raining lightly.  The rain got progressively heavier and by the time we started back it was raining hard and very windy.  Soaked from head to toe inside and out by the end.  I like running in the rain but this was ridiculous.

Ran with a new guy (Steve) who wanted to add a mile at the end to make it an even 15.  We mis judged the turn around and ended up with 16 miles total.

7 Miles Outbound AP 8:09     8:33 / 7:52 / 8:06 / 8:11 / 8:02 / 8:02 / 8:21.

9 Miles Inbound AP  8:10       7:51 / 7:49 / 7:50 / 8:03 / 8:15 / 8:29 / 8:26 / 8:33 / 8:33.
