Trouble

I dropped my Rodeo off Tues. night for a brake job, and they dropped it off the hoist, breaking the back left window and denting it. I ran 2 1/2 miles to pick it up Th. and 2 1/2 miles Fr. to drop it off for the window, and 2 1/2 miles Sat. to pick it up. I worked Sun. and missed my run and trying to catch up on work Mon. missed that run. I was feeling antsy in Church Sun. night so I'm getting the training effect kick in and expect a great race.

Stoney Creek

I ran 10 miles at the park today. Temps in 60's and sunny, I did a 4 mile warmup and ran well for 3 before I had to run/walk the last 3. Still not recovered from training. Eager to see what I've got on raceday - 2 weeks.

Stoney Creek

I was pressed for time so I ran 4 miles Friday morning and hurried thru the day.
Sat. I drove to Stoney Creek and ran 6 miles, the first 4 easy and picked up the last 2. Faster.
The day was sunny and the wild flowers were out and a cross country H.S. meet ran next to the bike path. Wonderful.

Tienken

Ran 6 miles this morning. 4 miles easy and 5th at 10 min. pace, then 9 min. pace for a while in last mile. Past a radar machine saying 48 mph! Guess I'm improving.

Stoney Creek

Ran 10 miles at the park this morning. I wanted 16, but my legs are trashed. Right calf is sore. Means I did a good job in training. Taper starts now, 3 weeks from the marathon. Interested in how much pace shows up for the race.

Stoney Creek

I did a 4 mile warmup and was joined by a younger woman for a brisk 6 miles at 10 minute pace average. Sunny in 60's, a cool breze, perfect running conditions.

Paint Creek Trail

I ran 10 miles easy on the trail today. Dropped to 9:13 pace for a while. 77 degrees, but the air was cool.

Military Ridge Trail

I ran 20 miles in Wisconsin while visiting my daughter and family in Cross Plains. It was 49 with the sun low @7:30, as I ran west 1 mile, and came back to stretch and get a water bottle. The sun was streaming thru the trees as I went east 3 miles and came back. I shed the jacket and long sleeve shirt and headed west 3 miles and came back for a third bottle. It was getting hot and I slowed the last 6 miles going east and finished in 79 degrees. The wild flowers made the run spectacular with fields of yellow daisies.
