2 miles easy at Silver Lake

Ran 2 miles easy this morning at Silver Lake. Really stiff and sore at first from my shins to my neck but then everything loosened up a bit during the second mile. Temp was 70 degrees and humid. Rained last night and feels like rain is coming again. Time was 20:22 (10:18 and 10:04).

3.4 miles easy

Ran 3.4 miles easy this morning in Cadillac. First mile was 10:00 and 17:00 at the turn (10:00 ppm). 24 minutes at 2.4 miles and finished in 34:26 (10:07 ppm). Was definitely on an easy and steady 10 minute mile pace until I met LoLo, Pat L. and Anne N. walking. Chatted with them briefly while I ran, but apparently it did slow my last mile down a bit.

3 miles easy in Cadillac

After my physical therapy and MRI this morning I ran 3 miles easy over the noon hour. The temp was 77 degrees so it was good training for the Seaway Run. The weather forecast for Saturday is warm and quite humid. First mile was 9:35, and the time at the turn was 14:20. Second mile was 9:25 (19:00 and 9:30 ppm), and last mile was 9:55. Total time was 28:55 (9:39 ppm). I eased up the last mile as I tired a bit in the heat.

Easy run

Two miles easy after I got back from softball quarterfinals. 14:14 (7:11, 7:03). Shin felt better than yesterday, amazingly. Probably because kept to a flat course today.

Bellaire won, so that means I have to go to Battle Crick on Friday. The game is at 6:30 pm. If they win, I have to be there on Saturday at 6:30 again. If they lose, I can probably still squeeze in the asparagus run.
