Rollerbladed to East Greenlake, around the lake 1 2/3 times, then up the hill from Woodland. I mostly felt pretty good, considering how long it's been since I've 'bladed (and I'm sick).

Ran North to Ravenna Blvd, down through Ravenna Park, along the Burke-Gilman Trail to Gasworks Park, through the park, then North up the hill and home via Good Shepherd Center. The lights of downtown were pretty from Gasworks. It was a chilly evening, and I ran with a jacket, which is almost unheard of for me.

Warmed up for Farrel-McWhirter orienteering. I felt really beat, probably from a combination of last nights terrain run and still being sick with this tenacious flu.

Ran course 4 at Farrel-McWhirter. I made a few mistakes and generally wasn't sharp. I probably lost 1.5-2 minutes in hesitations, misses, and poor route choices.

4 - Splits

Biked to school (Odegaard).

Biked home from campus.

Strapped on the night-O light (finally, a real test) and O-shoes and went for a run at Marymoor Park. It was drizzling and in the upper 40s, while I was running at 2:20-3:30 in the middle of the night. There was quite a bit of water on the ground, since Lake Sammamish was at least two feet higher than usual, so it was a sort of night marsh run. Also, I didn't think I would want to, but I ran through a bunch of the head-high grass, so it was a sort of night grassy marsh run. It was the kind of knee-lifting, ankle-torquing trek that appeals to the animal. When I got to the boardwalk through the swamp, much of it was covered with a few inches of water. Then it ended at the trail to the dog area, which was under about a foot of water--cool!

Parked in Laurelhurst, then ran an abbreviated Laurelhurst loop. I felt good, but my pulse was a bit high at times (160+), probably because I've had a flu.
