9 weeks

Fri 7/18: BLP, 6.6mi. Maybe I'm not ready for this kind of mileage yet. So slow.

Sat 7/19: One small and one big neighborhood loop, 3.5mi. Also went raspberry picking in the morning! So yummy.

Sun 7/20: BLP again, 6.6mi. It felt a lot easier this time. I feel like my legs are getting stronger. Also went hiking very briefly (like 45 minutes) in the morning.

Mon 7/21: Ran to Pine Lake Park and then swam/chilled in the water (except not actually since it was really warm!) a bunch. ~2.8mi plus 0.5mi swimming.

Tue 7/22: Woohoo, rocked today's run! Ran to Lake Sammamish State Park and explored a bunch, ~11mi, 88min. The route is just a rough sketch, considering I went exploring in quite a few dead ends. Felt awesome the whole time, even the constant uphill in the last 2 miles had nothing on me. The whole time I was like wow I feel good, I feel fast, I wonder if I can keep this up for the rest of the run... maybe I should slow down... but nope managed to keep it up. Good last day in Sammamish before leaving back to California. Ready to start working soon!

Wed 7/23: Back at tech! Upper with Joel, 6.7mi.

Thu 7/24: Lifted with Jeffrey, pretty sore.

Fri 7/25: DDR and CTF.

Total: 37.2mi plus lots of random exercise.

It's been a while

Sat 7/12: Back from China! Really out of shape, considering I only ran like 3 times in 3 weeks. We walked a lot and went up a ton of stairs, but it's really not the same.
Ran with Robert to BLP, and then coming back went by BLMS. 5.8mi, 52 min, since we really slowed down, especially coming up the last hill. It was probably a bit much for me, and I'll probably be a bit sore, but no big deal.

Sun 7/13: Had to take a recovery day. 2mi, 1 small loop and went through the neighborhood park.

Mon 7/14: Yellow lake coming around from the long side. Some of the trails are no longer being maintained, which makes me sad... had to walk through a dense shrubby section. ~3.5mi.
Places that feel funny: groins and IT bands. Gonna start doing all those exercises again. Particularly worried about my L IT band...

Tue 7/15: 1 small loop, 1.8mi.

Wed-Thu: Off because hanging out with James/Dan/Eddie before Internationals.

Total: 13.1mi.
