Running - Road / Track warm up/down 12:30 1.8 mi (6:57 / mi) +5m 6:53 / mi
ahr:147 max:162 slept:5.7 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline - 1
Ran to Nathan Hale and a little back and forth on the track to warm up for the 2-mile Grand Prix race. My legs felt slightly better than they did yesterday, but they were still quite tired.
Running - Road / Track race (track) 10:43 [4] 2.0 mi (5:21 / mi)
ahr:172 max:182 shoes: Nike Zoom Waffle - Husky color
2-mile Grand Prix series race. Since I felt lousy--sore and tired from a hard week of training--leading up the event, I gave myself permission not to push, and I just cruised comfortably fast. My heat (the second fastest) went out really fast; I hung back and still ran a 76 first lap--d'oh! I was sure I would pay dearly by dying later, but the rest of the run went pretty well, after all. Actually, I'm very pleased with this performance, given the time of year and it being on tired legs. My splits and avg/max HRs: 75.9 153/172, 80.9 173/174, 80.9 174/175, 81.5 176/177, 81.8 175/176, 81.3 174/176, 82.4 176/179, 78.7 177/182
I saw Dean Vergillo (COC and Eastside Runners member) running the first race, and he brought up the tail end of the field with a 10:20--good for him! I saw Sally Bergesen and Liz Stahl there, too. Sally ran 11:24, nearly half a minute faster than she had in the previous series event, a 2-mile road run. Liz ran a 6:20-something first mile--not good for her--and called it a day. Sally (W40?) wasn't the top woman, though, as one of the Club Northwest women was in my heat. I wondered how she did, so I asked Liz after the race:
Me: "How did Lauren Matthews do?"
Liz: "You mean Megan Johnson?"
Me: "Oh, yeah. I always confuse the two of them."
Here's a picture of Lauren just in front of Megan at a cross country race. Liz kindly pointed out that they really don't look all that much alike. Anyway, Megan ran 10:59.

ahr:138 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline - 1
After the 2-mile run, I ran to GHCU to make a deposit, then to Hamlin, on the trails there, including a threshold run (logged separately), and back home. My legs felt tired but not tired to the point that I felt like I couldn't really run properly.
Running - Trail / Grass 21:30 [2] 2.21 mi (9:44 / mi) +65m 8:55 / mi
ahr:134 max:148 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline - 1
The easy part of my running at Hamlin.
Running - Trail / Grass tempo 5:30 [3] 0.85 mi (6:28 / mi) +12m 6:12 / mi

I ran moderately hard (around threshold pace) from the North part of the park down to where I had stashed my pack at the South end.
