Running with Marv

Ran 6 miles up and down Brewster with Marv. 47 degrees and breezy.
After, I took Dianne and Pete to the trail for 3 miles of racewalking. Dianne is training for a 5k racewalk in the Senior Olympics July 11.

Up and Down Brewster

Ran 6 before dinner - at Cameron's, an upscale steakhouse in Birmingham. The waitress wanted to send me home with a desert in honor of my 23 anniversery, but I declined because I'm in a weight loss challenge right now. Legs are tired. 24 miles for the week.

Paint Creek Trail

I ran 6 miles this morning and tried to convert 3 runners - from toe running to heelstriking. All three were injured, so I know I was right. May race a 10k Sat.

Paint Creek

I ran 6 on the trail this morning - upper 60's, 100% humidity, light rain at the end. Like summer. The trees, bushes, and wild flowers are blooming and their perfume fills the air. Magic.

Stoney Creek

On Memorial Day Dianne and Petie came to the park for a walk while I ran 6 miles. After warmup I noticed my HR around 118 to 121, which is low for me. I'm normally 135 to 142 while running. Weather in the 60's with a breeze was perfect. Had trouble with my back and stopped several times to put it in. A little stiff from racing Sat. but running a little faster than previous weeks. Saw a sweat shirt that said, "I Luv BOOBS" from cancer walk. My favorite. Also saw a young guy run past me with his girl skating behind, yelling, "I'm your motivation!" She then passed him and raised her arms in victory and kept waving her shirt at him. I laughed out loud.
