Snoqualmie Valley Trail Fall City east; 2 hour 40 minutes; higher; hot and dry; No water on this portion of the trail as it is higher up and too high to climb down to the creek. I was worried the dogs were going to dehydrate and had to stop to give them a couple minute rests. After not finding water when we hiked over an hour we turned around and I desparately searched the areas off the trail. We found a mud puddle and then shortly after I spotted a creek down off the trail which we were able to access. Phew!

06-02-08 - Monday
Ran 28 and a half minutes on Redmond ridge followed by a 12 minute walk
Early in the day spent an hour at the gym –arms weights/balance/abs
I made it up the hill on the Redmond Ridge trail and stopped at the top to walk the rest of the way as I was so exhausted. My pedometer must not work right because I ran for 28 and a half minutes and it said I did not even go 2 and a quarter miles. I know that is just wrong from my walking pace and the fact that I ran 3.1 miles the day prior in 27-28 minutes. Even after a brisk walk for 12 minutes following the run, the pedometer said I had not covered 3 miles. That is just wrong. I had my doubts about it as when I used it the other night and walked briskly for over an hour it said I had not reached 4 miles. Still I gave the pedometer the benefit of the doubt as I had gone off the trail for a couple minutes to go to the bathroom and walked uphill part of the way. Yet, nearly the entire way was paved which allows me to have a faster time.
Today is day 4 of the nose bleeds. All I was doing was sitting at the computer typing out a letter and blood started pouring out the same nostril (on the left). I am unsure if I touched my nose slightly…..maybe a passing rub grazing the top. Being tired and having another nose bleed was another reason (aside from the rain) that I chose to take it easy today. However, during that brief couple hours that it had stopped, I worked up the idea of going anyway. Tonight (shortly) I will head to water aerobics and then do my leg weight routine.

The rain today has been pretty constant fooling me with a brief couple hour break, a peak of sun for a few minutes, and then starting back up when I was considering taking a run. I feel awfully guilty about not running today and not walking. The run last night was hard though. I was sore from the 5 K run Sunday and had tight hamstrings and calves. Again it was a run where I had to motivate and force myself.
