Woke up at 0430 today determined to do "something". A good way to pull the trigger is to bid on Priceline for a hotel, which I did. And I won. For $47 I got a hotel in Seattle, so off I went!
I was gonna stop in PDX at Stepping Stone, but Julie never got back to me, so I blew through to Tacoma. I stopped at Pt Defiance Park for a run, which is one of my favorite place to go since we first ran there back in '05 with "CACH Tyler".
I did on/off (sort of) today in the park. It was crisp/cool but on/off sun, so a good day for running. Overall the run went OK til the end when knee pain came on. As it turned out, despite my "focus", I wound up running on the OUTSIDE of my foot at the end, which was the ultimate cause of the knee pain to begin with! Old habits die REALLY HARD.
Fun fact: got back to my car and realized I lcoked my keys in my car! Damn it! Thankfully there was a cop nearby so I talked to him, and he called a tow truck. I ran around the grass while I waited (only 10-15min) for the truck. For a "modest charge" of $50, he jimmy'd my car door unlocked. And JIMMY'D me out of $50.
Checked into the hotel, then headed to DT Seattle. VERY COOL. Walked around, then drove up the University district, then to Beth's Cafe. No 12-egg omelette for me, though.
