Early AM: Walked .5 miles, ran 3, walked .5 more. Feeling pretty good. Ran with major master's speedster Carl H for a bit and slowed him way down.

8:50/157

Late AM: 45 minutes XT at the gym (eliptical, bike, stairs).

Glad to see Kim was successful in her try-and-run-after-being-way-sick run test today! So nice to see her doing better and looking forward to having some company for tomorrow's run.

Ran 4 miles with Kim then walked 2 more. Beatiful sunny morning, albeit a bit nippy for June.

Every run is a great run but today was an extra great run! Best I've felt post-injury. Kim and I slept in a bit then ran in the sun around river bottoms and powerhouse rd. Didn't worry about pace much just tried to go with the flow, which turned out to be around 9 min pace.

Did a few hills today to test out the foot and get the HR cranked up for a bit. Feet felt great and felt like I could have gone a few more. Kim was feeling great too, nice to see her nearly completely over the flu/pneumonia and her back behaving (meaning... having her back pains not being problematic, NOT that she had been misbehaving :)).

Had the roads nearly to ourselves with so many runners doing WBR. Hope things are going  well for all the relayers.
