Sunday, I ran 6 on Paint Creek Trail with Disco. We were caught by Cathy P. but Marv was no where to be seen. The Dogman probably got him.

Ran 5 on the trail this afternoon. 40 with sun made it cold. Talked to Joyce. When I run on the trail I usually meet someone I know. Left foot a little numb. Happens every spring. The foot is soft from not running all winter and needs a couple weeks to harden up, so rubbing in shoe hits a nerve and it gets numb.

There was an article in the paper how a middle shcool was locked down last week when several people called police saying there was a man running toward the school with a gun or a bow and arrow! When the police found the suspect, he was an army reservist running with a camelback and walking poles and running shirtless.
Reminds me when I was living in south Warren 40 years ago and went for a run on a summer night and as I got home, Big Jake was going to kill me because he saw someone run out of his house when he got home and it must have been me!

Ran 6 on the trail with Marv and Disco. Trail got wet as the sun thawed it.

Run/walk almost 4 miles this morning in 41 degrees and light rain. Felt balmy. Haven't run in 3 weeks. So cold I would have froze my face off. I'm so detrained everything hurts and I'm slow. It will come back quick. Brutal winter, only a month of potential snow remaining, but the temperature should be better. I'll run if it's 20 degrees or warmer. Below that my face freezes.
I recently joined an online forum for heart patients. They are all over the world and athletes and recovering patients adding exercise. Lots of info on heart related problems and encouragement.
