The beautiful weather in Seattle continued right through the weekend and it truly was awesome. To be in the mid 70s with nary a cloud was spectacular. My appreciation of the Beatle's ode continues to grow. Got out Saturday morning with the group for 10+ miles around town. The three guys I was running with jumped off the prescribed 10 mile course and wandered closer to Lake Washington and around the University of Washington campus.

The path led us behind U of W stadium or as everyone calls it here Husky Stadium. The university has a large horticultural area back there which abuts the lake. The grass and trees were the foreground for a magnificent view of Mt Ranier. I am still utterly amazed by the mass of it. The peak is so head and shoulders above anything else in the area that the view is almost surreal. As usual the view was also fleeting and we soon were passing some wetlands, with a lineup of turtles sunning themselves on nearly submerged mossy log. Apparently the turtles were in the need for a few rays too.

After this is was back across campus and towards Green Lake where the runs start and end. Easy pace the entire way and we finished somewhere around 90 minutes for 10+ miles.

Decided to skip the run on Saturday and spend time with family outdoors. I did have 30 minutes to sneak in a crossfit work out.

30,20,10,5 reps of thrusters with a 30lb dog food bag, 21" box jumps and pushups. The pushups were easily the limiting factor as everything else was completed un-broken. I am going to have find something heavier than the dog food to make this type of workout more difficult. I timed it but not sure where my watch is at the moment. Maybe 9 minutes.
