This week is a place holder between last weekend's 10k and the 5k coming up this Saturday. Next week I'll start "training" again.
Today was a 1 mile jog to the gym, 30 minute "rolling hills" program on the elliptical and a 1 mile jog back home. Reduce the impact on my right foot which was a little sore yesterday.
Have a greta day.
Trails are hard!
I guess today is National Run Day? Well, I went out and sort of ran. 3.1 miles to remind me how little I've been out and how far out of shape I've gotten.
But it was a glorious morning, and it was a run, and I'm happy for that. This one was for you, Leslie, and OM (for at least a little while), and anyone else that wanted to, but couldn't.
ETA: and Jlynne, too.
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
...heck,
and here I thought it was National PoolRunning and Hiking Day......
well, there's always next year....
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....

Good Morning!
I had a restless night from 2:30 a.m. on, so I was going to skip my run. Lazily laid in bed and Hailey found that she can jump up there again to cuddle. Around 5:30 a.m. I realize that it is National Running Day .... oh crap! Fed Hailey, fed the puppies, cleaned up papers, then had just enough time for a short 2 miler .... shew! Much nicer out there too .... still windy but only 58 non-humid degrees.
Happy Running Day!!

If this had not been National Running Day I would surely have slept in. I watched the NBA Finals game last night that ended just before midnight eastern time. (I dislike greatly those 9PM tipoff times to get the west coast viewers.) So this morning I had to force myself to get up and run a couple of miles in celebration of the Day.
The hamstrings are a little sore from the 10K race but also from walking up and down the stairs about a thousand times last week. It's all good! I'll probably try an easy-paced 6 miles tomorrow. Time to start gearing up for the Relay.

Ran a sprightly 3.1 miles before the H&H returned (thunder claps after I finished). My fastest 3 miler since my layoff.

Scorcher here today. Still lots of runners out on this National Running Day! Yay for runners!

Yay for runners!
Crazy windy. Avenger Doggie and I put in a 49:16 out and back on a seasonal road. The dense forest and hills, blocked much of the wind. Made for a nice breeze. On the back part of the outing, a tree had been blown over the road. The pooch had to rinse off before he was allowed back into the house.

Well, it's not a run, but I did walk a mile and a half with DH this morning. He loves that I'm on the DL and he can keep up with me these days
Great pictures yesterday Dave. Take care of that foot.
Thanks for the run this morning Kevin. It was much appreciated.
Mike - best wishes to you and your family. We struggled with intervention issues with my father. Not a happy time for anyone.
It's windy here too Mary. We had gusts up to 50 mph yesterday. Thanks for all of the puppy pictures. They sure are getting big. I'll bet Karin is excited to come get the new addition to their family.
Trying hard to not be obnoxious with non-running posts, just wanted to stop in and wish you all a happy running day and make sure you're all behaving
It's not obnoxious at all JLynne...keep posting! and yes, we are counting the days until we head out to Michigan. We are very excited to be a family of four again.
Ran 9.2 hilly miles this morning---breezy and hot with t-storms on the way---all good and groovy.
Now time for the conference call zone.
Time to start gearing up for the Relay. Bill

My log here says I'm on a streak of 7 days with 40.6 miles! Doing back to back runs, I feel ready for the relay. 11.5 of those miles were in about a 12-hour period. I met a friend for a run this morning at 7:00. I had planned 4 but we did about 4.5 with the humidity up close to 90%. Happy Running Day!

Good morning, Cooling off but still humid with T storms predicted. DS is at an all day field trip to Canobie Lake park ( small amusement park in southern NH) so I hope they don't get strormed out of there.
Nice runs already today for CNY, Perch, Opie and I am sure others. Jlynne, hang in there. Walking is better than notihing and you will come back strong.
I was not sure about running today but since it is national running day I may have to do a little somehting later.
Hugs to Leslie and Lynne...
Happy tapering to Erika and safe travels. that Newport race looks like fun!
Happy June.
