After getting to the seattle airport really early, so as not to risk getting stuck at the border and missing my flight I locked up my duffel (it was too early to check it in) and tried to walk to a ymca where I thought I could lock up my stuff and go for a run then have a shower... mmmm turned out it was a derelict ymca in an industrial type area... then I started to wonder how much more time I should spend trying to get a run in, so I ran back to the airport with my rather heavy carry on (it was later deemed overweight and I had to put some more stuff in the duffel). Put my bag down near the airport in a small field and did some strides and abc's

Runners yoga with Meghan and Alison

Thursday intervals with the Forerunners group. Warm up with jerry's mobility exercises then run to the hill and some silly walks/strides.

Hills of pain! Alternated between two hills, the first one being very steep for a good section (with flat bits when it crossed a road), and the other gradually sloping up getting pretty steep near the end.
Eight times 300m hills, walking back down the hills:
1:23 - hill 1
5:35
1:17 - hill 2
4:32
1:27 - hill 1
4:48
1:17 - hill 2
4:56
1:24 - hill 1
5:09
1:17 - hill 2
5:02
1:28 - hill 1
5:29
1:17 - hill 2
Tried to stay upright and keep a good cadence, but it just got so steep on the first hill that it was hard since my steps were so small and I wanted to lean into the hill... Hard workout, by the time I stopped at the top of the hill I was definitely in a lot of pain.

Walking between, jogging back to warm down, and then strength exercises

Club run with Zoltan, decent pace but stomach was just not that great and I am being wary of my foot (although it appear not to be getting worse, and my chiro also thinks it is a sprain - I will check again soon on the x-ray results). Bit shorter run than normal.

Medium paced run with Nate in PS park, including the hillier part down towards the beach and along admiralty. Taped the foot, and it felt ok. Was a bit stiff/bit of pain after yesterday's run.
