Fantastic loop: I ran up to the Piper's creek trailhead and took the trail down into Carkeek park then came back out another drainage trail that pops out on Mary Ave. and 100th see http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=8525
for a similar route. This is a great route and I'll be running this one a lot more. Felt good today, but had to buck a stiff headwind back. Luckly it was downhill most of the way.

Ran over the locks and did a Discovery Park loop. Found a new trail today that I have never ran before. It's skinny singletrack and was good o'ing practice. The trail runs generally east-west and kind of splits the park in half north/south. It's kind of hard to find in some places. I felt a little better running today, but it was a pretty easy run.

Ran the Golden Gardens loop up from the water. Very calm quiet evening for a run. I felt pretty tired tonight, but I don't have to work tomorrow so that's good.

Easy single loop around base tonight. Felt tired but was a good recovery run.

Did some Lat pulls, leg extensions, abs/core, and dips. Was contemplating doing some free-weight squats tonight, but didn't feel up to it plus I didn't want to be sore for a week.

Competed in the Final BEAST: Started off with a short trekking section then a short MTB section on mainly single-track and then continued on MTB on the Snoq. Valley Rail trail to three other TAs where we did some short trekking sections. Biked back to the Start-Finish via the Snoq. Valley Rail Trail and then had a short o'ing section. Weather was cold and the trails were snow/ice mix so the biking was a little sketch at times, but BB and I managed to keep the rubber side down the whole day. I thought we kept moving pretty well, however at the end during the o'ing section BB started cramping and we lost ground on a tight finish battle. Also, we didn't do any towing today and I think we might have been able to cut 30min or so with towing. Overall, I thought we had a good day.
