Easy run.

6:17 am, 51° F, 82% humidity wind 8 SSE.

Last night's big thunderstorm cooled things off a bit, which was nice.

I felt okay running this morning, but I can tell that things are just a bit out of whack. I'm not sure what to do about it. I think I'll just stick with the easy running for a little while longer.

I'm off to Rocky Mountain National Park today with a couple of my boys and my brother and his family. It's a different brother from the one that came in May to play the oboe. This one brought my mom here for my daughtAer's baptism. They're heading back to Utah tomorrow.

It's back to work for me tomorrow, or actually tonight, I'm afraid.

Easy run.

Busy day. Again.

But I have to say, I felt much less stressed about the day after my run than I did before my run.

Easy run + Shred level 1.

54° F, 96% humidity, winds calm, overcast.

It was good to get out for a run in the nice cool weather this morning. I think we're back to heat tomorrow.

I saw a rabbit taking off down the road this morning and then I realized why when I saw the neighborhood fox just a little ways away. The fox wasn't chasing the rabbit though. The fox kind of looked at me and then wandered away.

I decided I need to get back into doing the Shred two or three times/week. I've been neglecting strength training for several months now and that probably accounts to some extent for my little aches and pains. Also, I tried to focus on keeping my pelvis level rather than tipped forward during my run this morning. I think that will help the alignment of my hips and knees.

AP: 9:23. Splits: 9:47, 9:10, 9:18, 9:18, 9:22.

General aerobic run.

6:10 am, 54° F, 92% humidity, winds calm, mostly cloudy.

Yesterday's cool weather stretched into this morning, but it's supposedly going to warm up this afternoon. It was quite humid this morning. Whenever I stopped to wait for a light, my glasses got all fogged up.

I ran the County Line Road route and pushed the pace a little. The hills and the distance and the pace may have been a little too much for my hip. It's a little sore now, but I think I'll be okay.

I didn't really try to run one portion faster than the rest, but I ended up with one mile below my arbitrary designation for fast miles.

AP: 8:50. Splits: 9:38, 8:54, 8:57, 8:34, 8:41, 8:24, 8:41, 8:48, 0.19 @ 8:52.

I'm sure that a good portion of my soreness yesterday was from doing the Shred on Wednesday for the first time in many months. Nevertheless, I skipped the run today and did the Shred level 1 again. I'll run tomorrow. I figure I've got to keep doing the Shred and pretty soon it won't make me sore anymore. Also, I've got to try to get to work early today.

Easy run.

7:17 am, 70° F, 65% humidity, winds calm.

I ran on the Highline Canal Trail this morning with Carly. It's been a long time since I've run with anyone. It was nice to run and talk with her. It made the run go by quickly. I kept the mileage short to keep my hip happy. It was a little stiff after the run, but not too bad. It's strange to be all finished with my run before 8:30 on a Saturday morning.

AP: 9:22. Splits: 9:18, 9:17, 9:11, 9:33, 9:25, 9:28.
