Sat 12/21: Easy 2.4mi.

Sun 12/22: Yellow Lake, 3.8mi.

Mon 12/23: Since it's cold here in Washington, I usually start my runs with sweats and drop them off around ~7 minutes in. It's usually not a problem because most of my runs have a loop so they end the same way they start. Well today, I tried to explore a loop near Yellow Lake which exists according to gmap-pedometer, but eventually I hit a road and couldn't find a continuation of the trail. Not wanting to run that same puddle-y mile backwards, I kept going until I found a road I recognized. Somehow, I had ended up on the other side of my house and figured I could just explore a little around there and then run straight back home. Right before I got back, though, I realized that I had forgotten my sweats. Living on the top of the hill, that meant I had to run an extra 15 minutes up and down like 6 super steep hills. Surprisingly, my knees (and everything else!) handled it ok. I think I'm ready to bump up my mileage quite a bit. ~6.5mi.
Jk, IT band hurting a bit after the run... maybe I shouldn't bump up my mileage thattt much.

Tues 12/24: Random exploring with Robert, went through trails in Klahanie and ran near Jacob's lake. So much mud! ~5.5mi.

Wed 12/25: Merry Christmas! Went skiing at Steven's. Not running, but shouldn't hurt my training too much... Boots were way too tight for the first half though and now my achilles really hurt...

Thu 12/26: Beaver Lake Park! 6.6mi. It's been a while. Such a great route.

Fri-Sat: Off in Oregon.

Total: 24.8mi + full day of skiing
29mi equivalent.
