40 minutes walking/running with Elaine and Savannah, 5:10 a.m.  1 mile running.  5 mile run tonight at 6:00 p.m. in 46:03 into the mouth of Middle Canyon and back via cemetery. Best I've felt, but hurting a little bit afterwards.  Still encouraging.  I'm handling the every other day running pretty well generally.
