Stepped out of the classroom into clouds and light drizzle. Jim and I looked at each other and decided they'd revoke or Seattle citizenship if we went and ran on the treadmill.
Decided to try the single track and shoot for the top of the hill in the Park behind the hotel, or 6 miles total, whichever came first. That lasted for about a mile. Between the rain, and the real single track (really a horse trail) that might as well have been greased, we bailed onto residential roads after about a mile.
The lightening started a little later, and after that and a nice steep hill we called it a night and went back to the hotel. I made him run a loop around the hotel so I could get a full 3 miles for the day, and then we went to Casa Bonita for dinner.
Hard to argue with all you can eat Mexican, gorillas swinging lightsabers, and cliff divers for dinner.
Slow run between the mud and Jim not being quite acclimated yet. Probably a good combination for the last run before the marathon.
The guy at the front desk just shook his head at us as we came back in looking like wet rats, and covered in mud. I was pretty bummed. The trails in the park looked like a really fun run. Daddy needs some trail shoes!
