Ran an easy half mile with the dog before passing him off to Lisa and continuing on for five more.  Really nice evening on the trails with lower humidity and cool temps.  Last three miles all under 7:30 and feeling comfortable.  Much fun.

Another swell evening run on the trails before dinner with daughter child - Cynda is home for a couple nights - Wed class cancelled, and Thurs class not until 3pm - what a deal.  Weekend visits just dont work for C - too much studying ya know.  ha ha ha ha ha

Hilly five in the neighborhood this morning.  Cool crisp mornings already done for another few days - bleh.  Was warm and wet, but banged it out for the day.  Racing 5K cross country on Saturday on the beautiful Pebble Hill Plantation - they let the old folks head out first, so maybe it will be decent temps.  Last time I ran this one was the inaugural edition three years ago and it was more like 5 miles than 5K - oops.  Hopefully they have it figured out now.

Easy neighborhood run this morning before work.  Left upper hamstring still not totally painfree, but its not worse, so just gonna keep hammering away.  Racing in the morning in what looks to be warmer/steamier than hoped for conditions - ah well.

Decent effort this morning on a hilly mostly trail course.  Goal was sub-21 and I had to hesitate a couple times due to limited course marshals and having a lead horse as a guide.  Horse and buggy lead vehicle on this gorgeous plantation was a great idea on paper... not so much in practice.  Within first 400 meters 5-6 of us were out in front of the beast and had to keep looking back for direction - kinda silly, but everyone was good natured about it.

Trav took the win in the high school 5K in yet another hot hilly race and yet another 17 flat effort - I seriously expected closer to 18 on the day, so he did great.
