Beautiful Monday morning run. I passed a group of ladies who I see walking sometimes in the morning. As I ran by, I heard them say, "Look, there goes the little running girl, again." I guess they recognized me. Made me smile.

Good start to the week. 7:13 average.

I overslept this morning, so just got a short run in. I guess it's a good day to start doubles. 4.75 am miles.

7.6 miles pm. Ugh.

My legs were pretty shot after yesterday's workout. I ran out to 3500 S and then to the river trail. I was so happy to see Susannah after nine miles. I ran about 6.5 miles with her on the trail. She was hauling at 7:15 pace while pushing a baby stroller. That's not easy. It was fun catching up with her and meeting her adorable baby girl. I was grateful we could run together. I went longer than I probably would have be myself. 7:10 average.
