20 miles and still alive

This Saturday I followed the route of the Seattle Marathon down Lake Washington Boulevard to Seward Park. The weather was perfect. Sunshine in September, who would have thought that. :-)

After coming back up I stopped by a running shop in Leschi and got some water and a gel.

It took me 3 hours and 30 minutes to be back at my place. And it feels good.

10.8 miles on Sunday

Did 10.8 miles this Sunday. I have a favorite route now, it's from Capitol Hill down to I-90 and then along Lake Washington. It actually rained a bit in the beginning but that felt ok, temperatures get lower now too.

Total: 145.2 miles

Fall is here

It was raining on Saturday, so I decided to run on a treadmill in the gym.
Did about 3.2 miles in 22 minutes - tried to run fast. Running on a treadmill is not so much fun.

Total Mileage....

....is now 131.2 miles. Whoo Yooo!

Monday Morning

Quick run around the hill (Volunteer Park and back). 3.7 miles.

Saturday Run

I am seriously starting to think that I should do the Seattle Full Marathon instead of the half.

Another 14.5 miles. ;-)

Interestingly it took me ~2.15 minutes compared to last week's 2.40. is about 9 minutes/mile.

bike ride tuesday

biked to work on tuesday (i-90 and back north of lake washington)

Long Sunday run

Ran about 160 minutes. I am actually not sure about the distance. Distance was about 16 miles (25.6 km).

It was definitely a blast and I could have kept going. Only when going downhill I feel a bit uneasy in my knee and the sole of my feet. Need to check if I should get new shoes, already ran a lot with them. I bought them a year ago.

Maybe I should reconsider and run a full-marathon @ Seattle Marathon.

Lazy Saturday morning run

around 4 miles
total: 97 miles

quick 3.1 miles before going to work last week

total 93 miles.

Weekend bike ride

Last weekend I also did a longer bike ride. Usually I don't post too much about biking but check it out:

about 25 miles.

Signed Up: Seattle Half Marathon, November 30th 2008

Today I signed up for the Seattle half-marathon. It's going to be by the end of November and I am already wondering how the weather will be - probably pretty cold and rainy. Let's see. I hoping to make a time around 1:45. The route looks rather hilly going from the Seattle Center over to Capitol Hill and Lake Washington, then back.

Let's see.
