Dad and I visited CM in Seattle and had a nice time. The weather was amazing, which is always fun in a beautiful city like Seattle! I got to do an awesome run in a really neat park (Carkeek) which had great trees, greenery, and stunning views of the sound. Here are some pics:
I feel a bit better after Bloomsday. Bad races happen, and need to just get back into it. I don't know what my mental deal is with races sometimes, but it seems I just lack the oomph, sometimes - the drive to win and go all out! I am hoping I can harness it again.
I had a couple hard workouts this week with SR, so will see how that bodes for the CDA half next weekend - I would really like to better my time from last year (1:24 something) and feel good about the race. Defending champion - I can't lie that that won't be on my mind too, but I know of at least one gal running who is quite speedy. We will see - ultimately, I just want to have fun and feel good about it.
All here is okay. We had some pretty intense stuff for dad last week, and that had me running the gamut of emotions. He is still in the same place with things, so we will see what comes of it. I just try to be there to help him think through things, but I have to admit that it gets very hard sometimes. Just keep living, just keep living.
The weather has been stunning which is so helpful for running. I think it is going to dip a bit this week, and might seem some rain, but I guess it is still springtime, so shouldn't complain too much!
Anyway, it is bed time - gotta be up early to run in the morning!
